I just had my 99 SOHC in for new chain tensioners at about 22,000 miles. Before Ford replaced the tensioner, it sounded pretty bad on cold startup. It could rival my neighbors F-350 Diesel with respect to startup noise. Here's my question. Is the Ford fix supposed to eliminate the chain noise completely on engine start? I still get a very minor chain noise at startup, only when cold though. Or is some minor noise considered acceptable even when the tensioner is working as it should.....Scott
