Hi y'all. I just purchased a 2005 5.4 3v expy and will probably be posting frequently. So it has what I think is the cam phaser tick. It has 132000 on it. I'm trying to decide if I should just drive it, fix it, or resell it. If I fixed it I would try to do it myself. When I bought it I heard what to me sounded like valve train clatter. I have an 06 GTO and have always had a noisy top end. I knew about the spark plug issue but after I got the expy home I searched more deeply and found out about the cam phaser issue.
It runs well and has decent power. AC needs to be fixed. It was cheap. What do you think since you guys (and gals) have experience? Thanks. My wife and I like it but if I wanted another project, I would have bought a Land Rover.
