Tick/knock
Just bought an 05 fx4 and it has a tick
The guy I bought it from said that he put a new timing set on it and lock out cam phasers
What do y'all think it could be
it gets louder and softer like it's loud in park but if it's in gear at a stop it's pretty quiet
Thanks in advance for the help

You could do that, or put a smoke machine on the tail pipe and smoke the exhaust and look for the leak that way. Thats how I troubleshoot them in the shop. Only problem is that my smoke machine is about a $900 tool, but maybe you have a buddy with access to one.

Is it really loud when you first crank it up cold then get quieter as it warms up? If so its probably exhaust manifold leaks. Mines doing the same thing. Gonna r&r both after the first of the year.

That's more of a knock. Does not sound like an exhaust manifold leak
