Loss of oil pressure

Motorcraft are good tensioners but they are also the ones in the engines when the noise developed from day 1

Are you manipulating the throttle? Also where was the microphone when you took this? It doesn’t sound good

True

Yes im manipulating the throttle. The microphone was placed on the ground just behind the driverside tire near where the rear of the engine meets the transmission.

Get some video of it at idle and walk around the engine
Slowly
May help us internet jockeys sort out where all those noises are in the engine bay

I apologize for not having a video to upload yet. I ended up working this weekend on my step-sisters hyundai and was replacing the power steering bushing and worm gear. Found out I needed a special service tool after tearing everything apart... I threw half a can of seafoam into the oil in the meantime, but my phone was dead so I didnt get a recording. the seafoam quieted the rattle in the video down a considerable amount, but it is still present along with the timing rattle at cold start up.

I had the chance to take the manual gauge off the sploder and put back the dummy switch.

After running a good bit of seafoam through the oil and letting the car sit, it doesnt seem to have any dry start rattle anymore, but i am still getting a slap. It sounds like its to the rear i have attached a google link of the video



Seems to be making 60 psi cold and about 20 ish when warm.

I may try and swap the rear tensioner with the manual ones i purchased to see if i can eliminate additional slack
Thoughts and comments are appreciated.

I swapped to the manual tensioner and it did quiet down the chain some. Im gonna wait until is cool to adjust it some more.

Im going to have to do my timing set. Thank you all for the words of encouragement and positive views.

Lots of videos on this! Tools are cheap(ish)
You get really good at pulling engines I can have a sohc out in about 3-4 hours

I really need to get the jackshaft tool and I have the timing tools (scamazon cheapies) I have a un-used cloyes timing set in the garage from when this engine was rebuilt along with some enginetech set (bought by a scammer of a machine shop). The guy I paid at the good machine shop wanted it to be motorcraft only so I got him motorcraft parts. so I already have a perfectly good cloyes set. Now to find the time and space to do it.

Now I was able to time the heads in the vehicle when I had to re-do the head gasket the engine shop messed up, couldnt I just pull the trans instead and time the engine in there? have you attempted it? I understand its standard procedure to pull it, but with both the rear timing cassette bolt and jackshaft bolt exposed, what would stop you?

Also saw a good tip of not pulling the water pump off of the timing cover so I will be using that.

Yes you can pull the trans and go that route
To Me it’s easier to pull the engine because while it is out I would reseal the whole engine and replace all tune up parts and gaskets
Going through the trans side is more tricky working in tight spaces on the back of the engine low light and in your back
I can have a trans out waaaay faster then engine
