    Another 4.7 Engine Tick - Anything else to try before engine rebuild?

    It definitely was not rod bearings. I plastigauged all of them in the truck. When I was under there I moved all of the pistons and at least from my vantage point the wrist pins were not the problem. I inspected the flywheel in the truck and when the engine came out and it was perfect...

    Another 4.7 Engine Tick - Anything else to try before engine rebuild?

    Yes, I am in Canada. I’m glad that helped your tick. In my case I ran the engine with none of the accessories and the tick was still there, so it was definitely nothing on the belt. Changed the lash adjusters and rocker arms, timing chain set, both exhaust manifolds and plastigauged the...

    Another 4.7 Engine Tick - Anything else to try before engine rebuild?

    I replaced all the lash adjusters and rocker arms, but the old ones did not look bad. It could be a bad valve or seat but a leak down test shows everything is tight so it does not appear to be in the heads. I replaced all three timing chains, all three tensioners, guides and gears. It could be...

    Another 4.7 Engine Tick - Anything else to try before engine rebuild?

    The rod bearings looked excellent, and again, I plasti-gauged all of them anyway and they were all in the .0015 range (if memory serves), but anyway, within tolerance for sure. Could this possibly be a main bearing? Would it make that sound? I could not check the mains because this is a bed...

    I looked at all the rod bearings too. They looked brand new.

    Thanks Burla. I agree; I do not want to pull the engine either, but based on what I have already done, the tick is coming from somewhere. It is not the timing chain, lash adjusters, rocker arms, connecting rods, or exhaust manifolds. I have tried oil treatments, and this would only work on...

    Another 4.7 Engine Tick - Anything else to try before engine rebuild?

    I have a Ram 1500 4.7 4X4 which I bought with an engine tick and which has 207,000 KM (124,000 Miles). The body and interior are excellent and I got the truck for a good enough price that I can put whatever money I need into the engine if I have to and it is still a good value. I have tried...

    4.7 Timing Cover Seal

    I found some more information on this in a YouTube video where someone with a newer 4.7 engine put in the 1st Design (TCS46000) full gasket and found that the extra width pushed his tensioner pulley out by basically the width of the gasket and caused belt alignment issues with the tensioner...

    4.7 Timing Cover Seal

    Hi Caleb, I am running into the same thing with my 2012. I don’t like the idea of just using RTV sealant instead of a proper gasket but that is all I seem to be able to get. I’m wondering if you did go with the older style gasket, and if so, how did it work for you? Thanks very much.
