| First, this isn't just a mustang forum, it is an FE forum, so any vehicle with an FE is fine to discuss. Second, I had a similar problem when I first bought my 390. The problem ended up being that the previous owner incorrectly installed the timing chain. Did the clicking noise just start out of the blue? If you just got the truck, or just have the timing chain changed, I would check this out. The ultimate problem is that the original timing chain used a seperate spacer between the cam gear and cam, but newer gears have this spacer cast on the gear. So if you install the new gear, with the old spacer, the gear will be too far out, and it will hit the timing cover. By the time I figured this out on my car my cam was also ruin from being pushed back too hard. It is worth it to check it out. |
