Did the front end rebuild last July with all OEM parts and all went well. Now I’m hearing a very brief startup rattle after the truck hasn‘t been started for a couple of days. Also using a Motorcraft oil filter, running 5W30, and have a donut installed for the aftermarket oil pressure gauge sender.
Questions:
1. Is this normal, especially since I don’t drive it every day?
2. Would the donut cause the anti-backflow valve in the oil filter to not function correctly and keep oil in the heads?
3. Should I start thinking about opening the front end up again and checking/replacing the tensioners again?
Obviously 1 or 2 would be better, but I’ll tackle 3 if needed so the truck lasts as long as possible.
