Ok I know this timing chain issue has been talked to death but. I just took my car to a shop to order the timing chain asym. and one of the guys came out to help me figure out which set was making the noise. using a piece of wood like a stethoscope he listened to various parts of the motor and after this he said it was not a timing chain problem at all. He claims its a fuel injector. He had me listen to the valve cover on the passenger side and it did seem to emanate from this area. However, the crac crac crac... that I hear seems to be typical to what everyone else says is a timing chain problem.
The sport trac is a 2001 Job 2 and it rattles at start up sometimes and also if you rev the engine to 2700 rpm a quieter rattle creeps up muffled by the engine.
I know you all have heard this before but I would love for it just to be a fuel injector
