Have bad a small rattle from the drive side valve cover that just developed into a flutter/slapping noise around 2k rpm.. can only assume its the timing chain tensioner. 1k miles ago when I had the cover off I checked and the chain was tight no missing plastic have no misfires nothing..
Ive never had to replace these do the lower ones also go as fast and cause a similar noise? (I see they are also plastic..Does it have to be a motor craft replacement? Really dont want to have to take the whole timing cover off in the middle winter. The left valve cover is enough if a pain..
