[QUOTE="gt347mustang, post: 16406143, member: 44328"] Take it for a drive immediately after starting it. Theres no need to warm it up, just dont beat on it until the oil is warm. If the noise appears when its hot its probably a tensioner or lifter. Watch oil pressure at idle as it gets warm. Have you ran the engine without the accessory belts? Dont run it for an extended amount of time, but a minute or so at idle wont hurt anything. Verify its not tue blower or something driven by the serpentine belt. If all that still doesnt narrow it down pull the injector plug for #5 and see if the noise is still there. [/QUOTE]
