I started changing the lash adjusters last night, but now im reading on top of letting them sit in oil for a while prior to install you are also supposed to prime them?

Also having trouble getting the millertool to work on the last 2 valves.

Any help would be appreciated.

The new lash adjusters will not depress but neither will the old ones i took out so far. I was reading that you have to stick a paperclip in them to prime them?????

UPDATE: I changed the lash adjusters on passenger side but the noise is still very prevelant.I am starting to think it is the timing belt making the noise I took a couple videos maybe someone can chime in and tell me what they think the noise is. Engine has 279,000 miles on it. 4.7L 2005

Timing Chain loose???? or normal???

Engine running with passenger side valve cover off.

 

Sounds like my 02 4.7, mine was stupid exhaust manifold bolts and bad gasket,
In regards to the timing chain?? Hmm. Looks a little loose, any speecs on chain slack play? Or tension play

 

bump!

Drove the truck about 9 hours this weekend it drives great but i need to fix that noise, anyone have any ideas?

I'm stuck, lash adjusters did not seem to help.

 

I would look up specs on that timing chain
