Default Buzzing noise in right valve cover
It's a 2000 5.4 (140K) with a strange noise coming from the right valve cover area. I pulled the belt off and the noise persists and when i pull the oil filler cap off it gets louder.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

I would pull the cover, alot of moving parts under the valve cover and even behind the timing cover.

Thanks for the picture!

Now that i see whats there i have a feeling it's probably a cam chain guide. That's what it seems what it would sound like to me.

Thanks for the reply!
