Noise on cold start

[Bmac1955]

Cold start flooding I use to start oil lubricating the engine before starting. Consist of holding brake pedal down along with a fully depressed gas pedal. After about 10 seconds take foot off the the gas pedal. I might suggest also to do oil changes at a regular interval. I do mine 2 to 3 thousand miles. That's just me. This site has many interesting points of interest. I am sure you find helpful points relating to your expedition. Good luck!

I'd be concerned of a cylinder being washed with gas or oil dilution. But that's just me.

Not likely to happen. These aren't carburated engines.

It would seem to me that you are dumping raw gas into the cyl.

Dealer confirmed cam phasers. It will be about a week to get the part in. Picking it up today until parts are in.

Make sure they do the thermostat so you don’t have to take it right back. I just got mine back from thermostat replacement today $260.

My local dealership quoted me 3 hours labor charge to replace thermostat, for a total of $567 excluding parts. I think it is insane.

That is incidental to the work. They are already there.

What's wrong with the thermostat? It's my wife's Expedition and she's very cheap lol. Doubt she would do it unless there's a really good reason.
