lambda09a New Member 14 Member For: 12y 7m 7d Posted 07/01/15 06:20 AM Share Posted 07/01/15 06:20 AM I've got a horrible rattle sound in my engine and am not sure if it's serious and should fix it or what. I uploaded a clip to youtube if anyone cares to have a listen and give me any expert opinions. Running Castrol Magnatec oil (that's what Ford dealer put in in service) which is full and clean. I'm thinking it may be something to do with the cam chain tensioner but I'm no expert. Any help is appreciated.

lambda09a New Member 14 Member For: 12y 7m 7d Posted 07/01/15 07:20 AM Author Share Posted 07/01/15 07:20 AM I got a piece of hose, stuck in in my ear. Got the other end and moved it around the front of my engine. Noise is 95% sure coming from belt tensioner. Nice and easy fix Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/89875-ba-xr6t-engine-rattle-at-front-of-engine/#findComment-1521819 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part number is BA8A617A.That's why you often hear taxis ratting like the engine is about to fall apart.
