Reason I ask, I've been having positive results in dealing with some random tapping, and knocking noises lately, but there's one sound that is somewhat like a deep tick and is fairly constant at cam speed.
It seems to be the only noise left since replacing my exhaust manifold. It sounds like it's at or near the valve cover or top of head.
Just curious if a worn cam phaser has a telltale sound. Almost like a slight lifter tick but with more authority.
Obviously I'm considering skirt wear, carbon knock....but given the mileage (289K) I wanted to ask.
I'll get a video clip later.
