Can someone tell me if this is okay ?

 

Is there supposed to be a video linked?

 

here’s the link

 

My 2012 with 190k does NOT make noises like that. Best guess in timing chain guide or tensioner. CEL on? Rough all the time or only cold starts?

 

no it only makes that noise when it heats up and is at operating temp.

 

Mine does something similar @ 50k miles, I recently started using non-ethanol gas, ticking sound went away.

Went back to cheap ethanol blend, sound came back.

Cant hurt to try that, let it get down to 1/4 tank, fill up with good gas, see if it makes a difference.

It would eliminate fuel issues as possible cause.

(ps, I tried 10-30 oil, did not make a difference)

 

Alright I will try it out and see if it makes a difference.

 

By the way, mine is a 5.0, is yours?

 

Yes mine is a 5.0l. I try to. Run mid grade. (89) I have ran flex fuel e85 a few times. Injector cleaner or fuel treatment every 3 months or 5k miles~~ ISH.

 

Yeah it’s a 5.0
