\\1995 contour SE with duratech 2.5 liter.
105,000 miles.
does the timing chain need adjusting ?
I'm using full synthetic oil.
does the valve lash need adjustment () should be automatic(
lifters crapped out )( does it have lifters on a dual overhead cam ? )
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
whether a cold start or even if its just sat 10 or 15 minutes i get a heck of a noisy head turning sound from what sounds like the valve train ( there is no chain .. its a serpentine belt i beleive between the crank and cams)
and .. i have this terrible noise under the hood when i first start up .. the valves or valve train tensioning or lubricating but it is a hurrendous set of like clicking sounds .. or sputtering (not the engine) .. but like a chain or valves . or cam or ????? .. it does have 105k on it ....
does the serpentine need adjustment or replacement ? are the cams worn ? are the lifters crapped out ?
does this engine auto-self desctruct after the 100k maintanence free period is over ?
.. dont get me started on that damn coffee mug holder .. and the way the drinks find their way into the leather passenger seat !
its just a car to get from pt a to b
usually it does it nicely --AIM: chronon1
