Any legit thoughts or ideas are welcome.... My 99 4.0 has a loud tick as if something in the rotating assembly is contacting a static part of the block. This started after I had a low oil pressure warning at idle when the motor is hot. I installed a new oil pump, pressure is fine now.
I have poked around, pulled the valve cover all looks good, pulled the pan all appears good. I rotated the motor by hand with the pan off and I can hear what sounds like a popping at the back of the motor near the main seal. I Cannot see anything that would cause this. I cannot say for certain this is my mystery noise but it’s a pretty good bet it is....
Anyone have a similar noise or issue with a resolution?
Thoughts tips ideas or brain storming is appreciated....
Motor is an ATK reman with less than 5k miles. No check engine lights or codes....
Thanks
