Quote HistoryQuoted: Just wanting to provide closure to this post. Ended up costing about $3500 and they kept the vehicle for almost 8 weeks. New lifters, one valve was bent, new camshaft, machine shop work, new cam phaser and solenoid. If they didn’t do a full timing kit install, including chains, phasers on both sides, oil pump, tensioners…… I’d absolutely sell that vehicle or be prepared to have that work done within 50k. |

That's the plan. Shop only repaired the passenger side bank.

My 5.4 shit the bed about the same time the OPs.
They just finished replacing my 5.4. The total bill for a 100% brand new engine(except the intake manifold and exhaust headers) was $10,500.00 I will be picking it up early next week to see how that went. I really like the vehicle, and did not really like what I was seeing on the rebuild options so opted for one of the few remaining 5.4s from Ford. Ya, I expect the transmission to go out in 6 months. |

From the time mine started ticking to self destruct was probably around 2000 miles. The ticking got very loud in middle of the cover, passenger side, which is the most common.

Sold my 05 5.4 about two years ago. Engine started ticking at about 100k
Was still ticking at 250k when I sold it. AC, trans, water pump, engine coolant, trans fluid, were all original. I only changed tires, alternator, brakes, and oil/filter. Though the last 30k miles I had it, it was going through ignition coils like crazy and pretty much all the ignition coil mounting bolt holes were cracked and I couldn’t tighten them. |

06 5.4 3V 225k
Did complete timing job on it at 200k had the start up clacking when cold Replaced oil pump, VCT, and lash adjusters and followers. I installed all the lash adjusters, laid the cam in the timing position, and installed followers that were not under tension, torqued down cam caps, then put in the rest of the followers one at a time. Took like 3 days to do it, like 8hours per day. |

I'd bet the 5.4 Ford pickup is for sale in yards around my area 3-1 against any other older pickup truck brand put together.
