The Final Repair Guide to 5.4 Cam Phaser Tick/Knock Sound
#2562
WOW, that's just a baby. My wifes has 134k and is knocking like crazy. I'm debating on paying for the repair or just driving it until it blows and getting a new motor. My dealership said to just ignore it until it starts to lose power. they said that could take years....

I noticed yesterday that when my guy took the manifold off to replace the seal (the manifold is actually cracked) he must have stressed the crack because it's now louder than before.

Is it knocking/shaking at 1000 RPM and lower when you slow down after warming up? Or all the time?

Its starts beautifully, runs very smooth, doesn't miss, no lose of power. The ticking starts after warm up and at times can be pretty loud.

Your sure it's not a cracked manifold? When you start researching it, there are tons of people who have one, and it's normally on the passenger side also.

I replaced mine a few months back and it had a pretty significant crack between the number 3-4 cyclinder. It also was the passenger side. My leak would almost completely go away after running 30sec. I used a SS stud kit I bought off eBay and a new Dorman manifold.
