I have 1998 E350 Econoline van -5.4LT-V8 (WEP). Would like——to know what is: that unusual sound/noise from the: engine, like the——Timing Chain is rubbing against the "timing cover." The Engine fires right up without any signs of misfiring. Or out of timing. But the sound/noise is always there. Was bought used at 177,864 miles in 3/27/2009.
Today is 189739 miles after 18 months/11,875 miles from the first starting. Anybody out there facing this situation can point me——to where to look before tearing down. Appreciate your help. And informations, "Jimmy." You can e-mail me: ※
