URGENT! Need a passenger side cam ASAP!

[LAllison20]

Yeah still got the stocker, but will the tick increase with rpm with a pilot bearing?

 

[Aandf1978]

That sucks Luke! What kinda Tick are we talking about here. Is it very loud and noticable and distinctive?

 

[LAllison20]

Not like it was when I shredded my BBR cam. It sounds kinda like a mini exhaust leak, increase with rpms, but it does not get louder with rpm. I got no fuckin clue..

It's your #8 getting ready to let go....

Which means it could be rods 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,or 8

1.do you have lockouts?
2.have you used a stethoscope on the motor main fasteners to pinpoint exact NVH area?
3.last oil change?
4.ever replaced your cam sprockets?
5.ever replaced the oil pressure manifold on the front of the cylinder head, pass. side?
6.built motor or stock build? if built, what type of thrust bearing?

 

[LAllison20]

1) No lockouts
2) Not yet
3) About 3 weeks ago when I went back to Motocraft 5w-20, before that I was using a full synthetic 10w-30.
4) Never replace the cam sprockets.
5) No, neither side has been replaced
6) Stock motor, never been WOT since dyno tune, Never taken past 5k rpms since dyno tune.

I need the large bank account mod...

 

[Greg Hazlett]

And the wife/house delete mod...makes the bank account larger!

 

[LAllison20]

But then the tax return gets smaller...

 

[retfr8flyr]

Tax return is the least of the problems. You never stop paying for the wife/delete mod, it usually ends up costing more than not doing the delete.

Cheaper to Keep her as the saying goes..

 

[EcoBoosted F-150]

Put oil "Honey" in it problem solved. or go back to synthetic ?

 

[LAllison20]

The motorcraft is a synthetic blend, I was running full synthetic when the tick started. What is oil honey?

 

[EcoBoosted F-150]

yeah kidding about the "oil honey" but its that crap that they sell that "stops ticks" in engines aka hides the problem long enough for you to sell it to some poor bastard or trade in it. like i just did in my jeep. mostly for your normal wear and tear ticking noises that comes standed on Jeep/Mopar and Chevy engines

 

[LAllison20]

Ahhhh, so I should get some of that and maybe some octane booster and some prolong and be good to go!

 

[Greg Hazlett]

5.0 FTW!

Really? Since when does losing 50% of everything cause an increase? LOL!



Have you pulled the valve covers to check the Cam Followers? I have seen the roller tip bind and will obviously cause a metallic noise.

 

[LAllison20]

yeah, the lobe is scored slightly, but the follower was clean. There is a thread in the tech section about it..
