Cold Start Valve Chatter

[NorthTexasBronco]

It sounds bad in person, like piston hitting valves bad.

Dealer doesn't have a loaner until December and Parts are back ordered. This is unacceptable for a nearly 70k car at 2k mikes.

Ford Bot I want to speak to your owner!!!!!

Cam phaser.

I'd really like to know what dictates why some fail and others don't, because it seems so random. My 2.7 has 20k on it now and I feel like I'm just waiting to hear it one day.

In the mean time I have started to prime the oil pump before cold starts by holding the gas and brake and pushing the start button to let the oil pressure build up while it cranks for 15 seconds. It seems to help, but a little chatter is still there.
