@joshhall4309 8 месяцев назад

Ray just my opinion but I believe that noise on start up is the timing chain tensioners. If the engine builders used poor quality tensions they can bleed off and allows the chain to slap the guides for a second until oil pressure builds back up in them.Just my thoughts I could be wrong but keep up the great work and great videos.

@shakerman55 8 месяцев назад

I have had many Fords make that noise on start up, and all of them have been timing chain tensioners. Oil starvation using cheap oil filters with crappy anti drain back valves, and or the wrong weight of oil is the usual culprit that gets it started. In this case, wrapping paper.😂

@christsogaugetrains 8 месяцев назад

Ray likes to talk a lot lol😮

@thewausaudude 8 месяцев назад

My Marquis makes a similar sound on occasional cold starts. More than 20 years and 186,000 miles as a daily driver I’ve just assumed the guides are worn down and the tensioners are getting close to their max. Having damage from an interstate sideswipe and maybe 70% of the trunk floor left due to rust, that rattle doesn’t bother me as much.

@terrybaptist795 8 месяцев назад

Yea once timing chain tensionors wear down guess where it all goes. It falls down into the oilpan and gets sucked up by the oil pump next thing you bye bye engine.

@shaneclark5 8 месяцев назад

If you are committed to getting this diagnosed and fixed you need to first of all fix the exhaust leak so you can hear the engine noise better. Another thing you could do is hook a mechanical oil pressure gauge and see how fast the oil pressure comes up on a cold start and see what the cold and hot oil pressure readings are.

@OldBastardOnaHarley 8 месяцев назад

Excellent suggestion with the manual oil pressure guage. If any of that paper that was jammed under the driver side valve cover got into any of the oil galleries, a blowed motor becomes very possible. I've been wondering what kind of "reman" engine they put in that truck ever since Ray found that paper. If they just did a junkyard swap and billed the owner for a "reman" motor, the owner should receive a REAL reman motor, after the people who ripped him off go to jail.

@keithhastings4092 8 месяцев назад

Someone has to pay for this work….

@shaneclark5 8 месяцев назад

@@keithhastings4092 Well the owner of course will have to pay for the exhaust manifold replacement since the engine rebuilder has nothing to do with that but the exhaust manifold needs replaced regardless. So why not fix that now so it’s easier to diagnose the engine noise. As far as hooking up a temporary mechanical oil pressure gauge, that is a 5-10 minute procedure.

@HouseCallAutoRepair 7 месяцев назад

Yes.... Excellent suggestion. Labor time is an issue, but knowing the whole picture is super helpful at explaining, if this still does the rattle can start.

@fixxerautomotive4917 7 месяцев назад

These trucks really need a permanent mechanical oil pressure gauge as the "gauge" from the factory is nothing ore that a glorified idiot light that reads 2/3 scale at any pressure over 4 psi. It is common for them to have drain-back issues with cheap oil filters.

I have a 2010 F150 King Ranch w/5.4 I'm religious about maintenance, oil changes etc...at 200k I had the timing sets replaced as a maintenance matter not broken yet. When I specified I wanted OEM Fordco parts for it, the shop was like why doormans are cheaper. My reply was OEM got me 200k no issues, can you guarantee after market for that,, Noooo. The old guides were just starting to show chain marks on them. And I put in a high flow oil pump need for the 5.4 to function better. Don't try and save a few bucks in this repair. You'll pay double in a about 30k miles. OEM for timing jobs only. Great video as always. Glad to see Arod again. I was born in mich, live in Jax now. Much warmer lol. 😅 I'm at 250k now now issues.

The shop I worked at (retired last March), when replacing timing chains we would use the older style tensioners . I mean the metal ones with the ratchet mechanisms. It would eliminate the normal start up rattle associated with the plastic tensioners. They fit tight on assembly, but they do fit. Just an FYI deal for what it's worth. You are correct. The second time always goes much quicker! Also, those Ford vacuum hubs,,,,,,,aaaarrrggghhhh!

@MonkeyJedi99 8 месяцев назад

I have had my current auto for about 8 years and have yet to see a TPMS light, and this is the first one I've owned which as them. About once a week I do a visual walk-around of my car, and if even one tire looks slightly low it is time for all four to get aired to proper pressure. If I feel a mushiness driving? Same stop for air. And when I pull out of my parking spot, I look for evidence of fresh fluid leaks. - I pay attention to how the car feels and sounds when running, driving and braking, and when something is different, it gets checked. - But then, I am part of that old generation who were taught as Ray talks about when it comes to auto maintenance.

@michaelpressman7203 8 месяцев назад

I don't wait for the dash indicators to come on, I'm old school too!

@5695q 8 месяцев назад

I have a 2000 F250, it is recommended to disassemble the locking mechanism to clean and regrease the manual assembly yearly. Replace the O-ring when reinstalling it, there is a kit available with all the parts. If the hub is pulled off, replace the O-ring on the rear of the hub, inspect and replace the axle seal if it's cracked. When you switch to 4x4 the solenoid valve opens for a specified time to allow the hubs to lock or unlock, if I remember correctly it senses the variation in vacuum to tell if the hub has finished its movement. A vacuum leak will cause the pump to continuously run. A leaking solenoid valve or defrost diverter valve under the dash will give a big leak.

@EG3RED1138 7 месяцев назад

I've done many of these engines amongst many others...I personally have owned 3 of these engines and whenever I get one I do 3 things to these engines....1- I put a meiling HV340 high volume oil pump. 2- I replace the factory timing tensioners with locking tensioners so they don't return when oil bleeds out and 3- I lock the phasers and get the vct's disabled on the ecm... that's a permanent fix for these 3 valves I've had nothing but success with this method and to be honest all that for less than 700 bucks. Super easy to do and motor last forever. FYI those phaser bolts are torque to yield meaning its a 1 time use bolt only I've always put them back but it's not recommended if you buy them new use ford only or high quality aftermarket.

@fixxerautomotive4917 7 месяцев назад

I have fixed several of this particular problem by simply changing the oil filter to a Motorcraft filter (Ford engineered a very robust anti-drianback feature into them). Another mod that helps with this is using the older 2 valve metal chain tensioners- they dont have a seal to blow out and they ratchet as they extend. Simple bolt on fix with no modifications needed.

@mayhemsmaster5050 8 месяцев назад

Just out of curiousity, at what point can you start charging the "warranty company" rent for the space that this truck continues to occupy, plus the bay/rack for the continuous repair but non fix that they continue deny is wrong within the actual timing system??? And when does the owner begin to receive compensation for his vehicle being down unnecessarily... plus covering the cost of his rental vehicle??🙏💜

@TheGarageGamer86 2 месяца назад

On my 5.4L back in the day, it rattled on startup due to plastic chain tensioners that would leak oil and release tension on the chains after sitting for a few hours, so had a performance shop in Australia replace the tensioners, chains and both phasers. Rattle went away after that 😁

Bent over 8,000 on getting that engine put in. I sold it when it started doing it again, Ford is a rip off company, I will never buy another freaking Ford. Now I know what people meant when they say Ford stands for found on road dead. They should have recalled those engines years ago, but never did.

On a vehicle like this where you're searching for a solution, constrained by a warranty company calling shots, it must be difficult to get the satisfaction of a job completion. For myself, that was the satisfaction, a completed job. Although there's still the exhaust leak to contend with, this second phaser replacement seems to have solved the engine noise. I'm looking forward to the follow-up video on the cold start to see. Good job, sticking to the job at hand, keeping the customer's best interest at heart. Thanks for sharing the journey.

@nikolateslax1 5 месяцев назад

This warranty company is doing what they do, of course, but that sounds to me like oiling, especially as quickly as it fades - that'll be right when oil pressure comes up. So I wholeheartedly agree with you on that, Ray. If I had to guess, I'd say that the detritus you found in the engine (that paper-y plastic-y stuff) starved something of oil for a bit, caused accelerated wear. Heard a story on Car Talk (I'm only 28, promise!), which was one of their Puzzlers. The way they told it, it ran low on oil, customer put oil in, kept going, and it just kept leaking. The question was, "What's caused the oil leak?" and the answer was that it had run low on oil the first time. That loss of oil pressure had caused damage which resulted in the leak.

@DeepakKumar-lv4te 7 месяцев назад

I heard high vol pumps were not a good idea, massive increase in pressure at the bearing. Not good

There so many video's covering the 5.4 triton motor and watching you explaining the repair of the previous repair is a confirmation. This engine has spawned a host of videos the triton 5.4 is an engine (in my book) to run from. I owned Ford products and said that Ford is owned by Snap-On Tool for obvious reasons but this design but the 5.4 is a rabbit whole of an engine.

@tylermacconnell217 8 месяцев назад

You need to differentiate between 2-valve and 3-valve versions. The 2-valve Triton engines were quite good.

@jkK-lw9lu 8 месяцев назад

I retired a 1998 5.4 two valve with 301,000 miles , only 3000 mile conventional oil changes, NO OTHER SERVICE OR REPAIRS (excluding brakes, tires, spark plugs, two cops,and coolant flush and replaces). Retired due to rust, hauled max gvw full time, although a lot of highway mileage….retired 2004 all same except 5000 mile synthetic oil changes, now am still running 2010 , 3valve at 303,000, have had to change one starter, one alternator and stretched oil changes out to 7500 miles when highway and 3000 if lots of city. Motor issues in my experience are owner caused!!!

@gregsmith332 6 месяцев назад

That's not German, that's Southeastern American. First of all, it's "gud 'n tite" in redneck spelling. And second, Germans use torque wrenches; flat-rate Americans do not.

@RAYROTHSTEIN66 8 месяцев назад

It's either lifter from lack of oil or chain noise.. but I'd tackle that manifold so you don't have to worry about that drowning out the timing system noise.

I would think that paper stuff would be in the oil pickup screen....also could also check oil pressure. Great video as always.

@larryjankowski2923 8 месяцев назад

The correct fix is going to be jack up the radiator cap, and drive a new truck under it, or just replace the engine again.

Never knew much about the timing chain or belt wedges to lock it and maintain the timing. I bought a few from TEMU for vary little and have them should the occasion arise.

@TheMongoose69 8 месяцев назад

Seems to me few years back an old man taught me about these things that work for Ford for years the biggest damage you can do to rebuilding one of these motors is putting the gasket back up underneath the tensioners for the timing chain you said they usually blow out one side or the other within the first 10,000 MI

That packing material is probably in the oil pump pickup tube screen. There is a utube short were a mechanic is telling folks to check their pickup tubes screens for blockage
