Pretty sure I read somewhere FORD recommends replacing the upper tensioners on the SOHC engines at 90K miles
Use only Ford parts...the others are JUNK!!!!!
Interesting note here the POlaris Rzr (2014+) uses the same damn tensioner for the timing chain on the overhead cam, tick tick tick on cold start since NEW
There are several aftermarket companies that make a spring loaded or manual tensioner for the Rzr...its the same part.
I put Sparks Racing manual tensioners in our Rzr and no more cold start tick.
I am thinking the same tensioners could be installed in a SOHC.....forget the hydraulic bleed out and pump up...set the manual tension and forget about it....
