Huh, came across my own thread looking to see if anyone had experience with a different - related - problem. Figured I'd do a lil update on this. The tapping noise is indeed my shifter. The red poly bushings were... well, there weren't any anymore. Popped some new ones in from Hurst and...

Thanks for the replies, looks like I'll just pick up another one like I got last time. I usually steer OEM on this kinda stuff - you never really know how the aftermarket guys were able to make it so cheap and sometimes I'd rather not find out.

Hey all, I recently went to my local ford dealer to pick up a new VCT solenoid to replace the passenger side one. I had already replaced the driver's side solenoid. The parts guy pulled up on his fancy computer what part I would need and if he had it when he asks what side I needed - kinda...

Sounds great - especially on a good set of headphones! I had noticed when the engine idles down from the cold start it sounds like there’s some sort of rattle. It starts fast but dramatically slows down and eventually fades away. Any idea what that might be?

I have to say its quite disappointing to have phaser knock at hot idle from brand new phasers. My driver's side one has knocked at hot idle since outta the box - but of course you don't find out until you buttoned everything back up and try it. I'd be interested in hearing a sound bite of...

I have to admit I haven’t done anything about the noise yet, figured I would wait until winter when it’s sitting in the garage anyway. My plan was to try and get a new phaser through warranty, though I haven’t looked to see what the warranty on a ford performance timing kit is from summit. I...

It's a 4.6 with a 5 speed. With the miles it has on it, I'm not chasing performance, just a fun driver. I figure an intake with axle backs would at least sound cool. My brother has a 4.0 I'd be interested if an intake/tune would make much of a change there haha.

Hey there guys Recently I had noticed a worn spot in my intake tube that may or may not be letting air in past the maf sensor. It's still been running great. Regardless, I've been interested in getting a fancy lookin CAI anyways to replace this with. I know the general consensus is to not...

Yes, I know my passenger side tensioner had blown its gasket. However, I replaced all that in a timing kit I did over the winter. Along with roller followers and lash adjusters - I'd like to think I didn't get a bad one right outta the box! With a mechanics stethoscope I hear it best on the...

I too had this leak. But I was able to replace the brittle plastic part that broke without removing the intake and just removing the alternator (already had it off for other reasons). If you dont mind a mild case of bloody knuckles it is possible to do this without removing all the crap on top...

Just a late update in case anyone was curious: replaced driver side VCT solenoid and it did not effect the noise. Half of the bottom screen came apart in my hands when I took it out though.

I wish they would've included them in the kit because I woulda put them in if they did. Honestly I only did all the timing gear because I knew I had a blown out chain tensioner. The inside was super clean to my surprise. The local dealer parts guy chuckled and said they have a lot of them in...

I put melling oil and water pumps on but I wonder what the quality would be for timing components. I've heard good results from OEM parts generally. I'm thinking of trying a new Solenoid on the driver side since thats the side that is making the noise.

I got a ford performance timing kit from summit racing and ford performance followers/adjusters from a dealer. I did not change the solenoids though.

Hey folks, I'm hoping you all might be able to help me pinpoint the source of a noise my '07 gt is making at idle. The noise it makes is sort of a light knocking/tapping sound. -It doesn't happen right away from a cold start - it takes a minute or two before it becomes audible. -On warm...

Looks like you have the older style roller followers. Since you have the cams off it wouldn’t be anything - but the cost of getting them - to just put a set of new style ones on there. It should help keep better oil pressure as well. If not that, pick ‘em all out and give them a good...

I'd check your door drains too. I found out the hard way that my firewall drains were plugged last year, and at that same time discovered my passenger door drain was plugged. Gallons of water came out. Turns out the sloshing noise I was hearing in turns was not my water bottle, but my door...

It's about that time to fire it up and see what I screwed up. I did some searching and people seem to advocate for priming the motor with a garden sprayer to pressurize the chain tensioners and lash adjusters on a new engine build. While this is not an engine rebuild, I did replace the chain...

I had my timing cover and valve covers cleaned/blasted not too long ago and the guy cleaning them up noticed where one of the idler pulleys bolts in was popped through to the back side. It otherwise looks good, no cracks. Is there anything special I should do about this when I put it back...

Just a small update on this, I want to thank you all for convincing me to replace the followers... half of them on the drivers' side had play in the rollers. Lash adjusters were all rock hard - though I replaced them anyway since they came in the kit. I didn't pump them full of oil until they...

I almost wonder which method is riskier at this point. Doing something tedious 24 times definitely leaves some opportunity for error..

This was how I found it when I took the cover off and spun it for what seemed like forever. I took it apart like that, too. But when I put it back together I lined all the marks up. The crank, both phasers, and both chains are lined up with their appropriate dark links to their marks. Even with...

Welp, I have a confession. I put all the timing junk back together today, phasers and everything. After fighting with the decision of having to spend the money on new followers in addition to looking at the 10-day forecast and determining I have plenty of time... I think I'll replace them...

I haven’t even taken anything apart yet.. so I was thinking if maybe they were put on like that by either someone else or from factory. I wouldn’t think they’re “off timing” since they’re essentially lined up, but everything is one tooth to the left.

Yep it’s one link off to the left just the the phasers. It was hard to get a picture of it. I’m just wondering if this is in fact the “timing position”
