2006 Ford Explorer 4.0L V6 SOHC with 165,000 miles. Have had a rattle occurring during startup over the last few months. More noticeable at 2000-3000 RPM. Stops when engine is warmed up. No other noises. Have read about SOHC timing chains. It isn't continuous like some have suggested with broken timing chains. Some posts have suggested the timing chain tensioners not being tight and allowing the chain to rattle.
Should I replace just the timing tensioners or does the entire timing chain need overhaul?
Any help would be appreciated. Would like to keep cost down and not swap everything.
