[QUOTE="Robert Howell, post: 1017833, member: 70748"] I had the timing chain rattle about 2 years ago in my 2001 ST. I removed the engine and replaced the cassettes, chains and tensioners. All has been well until today. The rattle started and I shut it down right away. The kit I got wasn't Ford OEM, it was a Rock Auto jobber. I removed the left tensioner tonight and found it was not smooth to depress, crunchy would be a better description so I suspect it is just a bad tensioner. Problem is I can't seem to find the correct TSB that give the correct Ford part number that contains the updated tensioner, crush washer and volume reduction plug. Anyone have that TSB handy? Thanks [/QUOTE]
