I know that my timing is correct , I had the help to retime it from a certified mechanic, I've drove it about 1000 miles since my timing job, any other ideas. Would it act like this if my converted was clogged?

 

After a lot of reading I have come to the conclusion that my tick is caused by lifters/lash adjusters. I want to do a full replacement with followers included. What would be a good brand to go with? I know I cant go wrong with motorcraft but I am just wondering what a good upgrade would be. Thanks.

Is this the complete parts list i need to do my cam phasers? or are thereother parts that will need replacing also

 

[QUOTE=Dukus832;4528365]Might as well replace the solenoids while you are in there.

 

misfires and loss of power could be a bad cat but I don't think that would give you a timing retard cel.

 

Got the 5.4L MMR Metal Tensioner Arms in yesterday and can confirm that the Chain guides (2L1Z-6K297-AA & 4L3Z-6M256-AA) are NOT included like the 4.6L kit. So off to buy the chain guides today.

 

[QUOTE=Dukus832;4528365]Those are Dorman. Might want to do a quick forum search on those first.

 

[QUOTE=HulluCorn;4529584]To save some time... HC is right, don't let Dorman touch anything inside your engine unless you want to do the work twice or risk requiring a new engine in less than one oil change.

I'm in the final stages of accumulating parts for my timing job. After much searching and fretting, I decided to order OEM phasers from Fairway Ford wholesale parts store on Ebay - at $229.00 each, free shipping. They have a rating of 50,000 at 100%. (That would be damn hard to maintain)

WELL, when I received my order promptly, and it was short one part - a PHASER ! I sent an message through Ebay at 10:24 p.m. explaining the shortage and gave Order #, Tracking #, UPS Label #, weight of shipment and nicely explained the shortage. Then went to bed worrying about it since it was a $229.00 part that's missing though on the packing slip and already paid via paypal.

!!!!! The next morning I already had a reply - _sent before 11:00 p.m. the night before, apologizing for any convenience and advising that another PHASER would be sent the next morning by NEXT DAY AIR. And it was. And I received it by 10:00 am the following day.

Their 100% rating is well deserved. And I'm trying to figure out how I can give them 6 stars or a rating of 150%.

 

I also have had great service with Fairway Ford, I ordered a set of VCT solenoids and seals a couple weeks ago at about 10:30 at night, had them in hand 2 days later, well before the expected delivery date. If I could give them 6 stars as well, they would get it. Good luck with the repair and good job on going with OEM. Did you order the lash adjusters and followers as well, I found 13 out of 24 bad in mine when I changed mine out.
