hi guys I have the 00 explorer with 4.0 sohc with 180k,well for awhile I would hear the little bit of rattle when 1st start engine so I bought a new rear timing chain tensioner off ebay took it out and put it in and its louder than it was it seemed it would not prime up?? I don't know so I put the old one back in,it seemed still good anyhow,well now I wonder if I should change the front one that maybe that is the bad one because I can hear it rattle a tad louder than what it was b4 I changed it,also I changed oil and filter with 5-30 and thought maybe that had something to do with it so I added lucas oil treatment but didn't help.it does not rattle at higher rpms or at idle just when it has sat for abit for oil to go down,thnx
