I just completed my 3.0 swap in April. 3.0 block and heads p&pd. SVT upper and low intake, etc. Its ran great for about a month and then started ticking at idle, which progressivly gets louder while accellerating and is downright obnoxious above 4000rpm. It sounds like its behind the timing cover. Someone told me a worn oil pump or bad tensioner possibly could be the culprit. Its the tensioners from my blown 2.5litre and the origional oil pump, which im kicking my self now for not replacing. I have to pull the drive train out again because i blew the trany, (yah i know about all the treads telling you to upgrade the trany tbd and such, shut up i was stupid and in a hurry.) Anyone experienced anythign similar with the timing noises and any suggestions about anything wlse tht might be causing it? Thnx for any help guys, Youve been life saver through my 3.0 conversion.
