FWIW, I've noticed in the past that if I start the car to move it say a couple feet and immediately shut it off and do it a few times (pull it out of the garage to wash it, pull it back in, pull it out again to work on or move something, pull it back in), it'll have a small puff of what looks...

I believe that's about how I did it, maybe a bit closer. Will be swapping plugs shortly here to go to a colder range, so wanted to double check I wasn't missing anything here. Thanks.

Barely off topic, but http://www.aa1car.com/library/ford_tsb_08-7-6.pdf Per the Ford TSB, OP did it correctly, no? Or am I missing something? Perhaps a bit too much but I don't see too big of an issue. It's been a few years since I did mine but I recall following the Ford TSB and have had...

Mine was pre-cut and directly to the edge, and I never had an issue either. Doesn't hurt to take precaution either I suppose.

Out of curiosity, how much did that run you? I've heard great things regarding their customer service.

PM incoming.

I'm seeing that now. Thanks for the clarification!

Maybe I'm missing something, but can't figure out if I can edit the original post with the new forum format. Wanted to add I'm looking for it in the dark charcoal interior color and for a coupe.

Looking for a speed of sound A-pillar gauge pod. Preferably 3 gauge but also considering 2 gauge. Thanks.

Clearly not, that would create a vacuum leak through the holes in my finger...lol Decided I'll try to clean it out with some carb cleaner or something before I spend any money on new covers. I also realized the procharger kit I bought has you cap off this port so the noise won't be there...

I'm positive we have one on the driver's side. Not in the traditional form, however, and I'm not entirely certain how they're constructed compared to the traditional ones. I know there's baffles under the cover but I'm wondering if there's a regular check valve in there. The hose certainly...

Time for an update since I hate threads without a conclusion, so here's half of one. Had a work incident that put 9 stitches in my finger so that slowed me down a bit but I think I got it. I believe its the integrated pcv valve in the valve cover. If I unplug the vacuum hose going to the...

Already had the whole front apart. Everything appeared to be in great shape. I realize the only thing I can ask for at this point is what people may think it is, and that's all I'm asking for. Just someone who maybe has experienced this noise previously and found a fix. There's only so much...

Alright, well, noise is still there. Definitely most prominent towards the front of the motor. Possibly phaser then as Red09 said? I'm not sure what else it could be. Definitely looking for input. To be clear the only thing I've replaced so far is the tensioners. Edit: I've been thinking...

Same as everyone else is saying, idle in neutral with the clutch engaged I get the clatter noise. Completely normal it seems. Pretty annoying imo, but oh well. If it's not squeaking or squealing as you engage the clutch, typically your throwout is in decent shape from my experience. If or...

Well chain just jumped while finishing up the right side of the motor. Gonna call it good for today. Supposed to rain all day tomorrow so should be a good day for working on the car. FWIW, the o ring didn't look too terrible on the driver's side. Did have a weird split but still should have...

I was always under the impression they weren't as much as an issue on the mustangs (5.4's tended to be more prone), but I definitely could be wrong.

Making me a little nervous there, lol. Hoping for the best with just the tensioners for now I suppose. I should know this weekend. If not, at least I won't have to take the front cover back off as long as I do it correctly.

Yup, guides look pristine from the top so I'm just replacing the tensioners unless I find anything else amiss under the front cover. Any tips when it comes to pulling and replacing the cover? Thought I read somewhere the gasket likes to tear so I ordered new ones. Good to leave the current...

I'll attempt to. I tried to take one but it's extremely quiet. Like I said, closest way I can describe it is it sounds like a loose timing chain on a sportbike dohc motor with a manual tensioner. It's also very much a rattle and not a knock like people describe the phasers as. Again, I've...

Thanks guys. I'm too particular about my stuff to just assume it's nothing unfortunately. Ordered up some tensioners tonight and misc for taking the front cover off, hopefully it'll all be back together by the weekend.

Also, does this appear to be normal cam wear? Doesn't catch the finger nail whatsoever. I seem to remember similar marks on my original cam, but figured it was worth asking those more experienced.

Update 10/24: Noise is still there. Phaser? Hey everyone, Happened to be under the hood for other reasons, and noticed a slight rattle coming from the front of the driver's side cam cover right where the phaser and timing chain are. It was so quiet I could barely hear it without the...

http://www.obdii.com/drivecycleford.html ^That's the official one. I typically drive a few miles and check with my scantool. I'm usually good to go after about 40-50 miles of some varied driving.

PM'd.
