Guys the package arrived today .. according to the description and comments they claim to be OEM ford parts .. the box other than the sticker on the end was nothing special just an ink stamp on the side… the bags inside were taped badly and the contents could have easily fallen out. No individual wrapping like the genuine OEM ford item that I initially ordered.
Looking at a comparison the machine markings do look identical and they both are the upgraded item with the smaller oil port.
24 of the wrapped ones you see were $445 around $18 each and all individually wrapped.
The one I received today from Ford Performance parts was $335 plus a full set of lash adjusters ..again probably another $400 or so if bought separately.
Too good to be true ??

Ok so when I opened the bag of 24 lash adjusters and inspected the bottoms it’s obvious these are used … even the oil smelled old which was the first give away these were not new parts .. on a surface glance you might think they look shiny and new.. this is a shame, I wonder from the comments under the ad if some of these buyers have dropped them into a rebuild and a few thousand miles later could be looking at a do over with damaged cams etc .. when I messaged the seller they immediately agreed to a refund and return .. I looked over the ad again and nowhere does it state USED.
It’s a scam guys $335 for items that could’ve come out of a 200k motor.
It was too good to be true.
Genuine new packaged RFs and lash adjusters going in!

How long did the tick go for ? And did the RF pop out ?

The previous owner of my Navigator said it ticked all the time but didn't give how long. I bought the truck knowing full well I'd be tearing the engine apart. I decided this within moments of turning over the engine. The roller follower was knocked off the valve stem/lash adjuster. The tensioner also had a typical failure at the gaskets.
