191,000 miles timing chain tensioner or oil delivery problem?

Hello Everyone,

I am a new registered user here.

Thank you for having me.

I am having an issue with my 2005 4.4l E53
I have 191,000 miles. I just received the title, free and clear, in the mail.
I have driven this since 43,000 miles. I have maintained it at the dealership the entire time that I have owned it.

I have just invested in plugs, coils, MAF, pre cat O2 sensors, belt tensioner, belt and pulleys.

I always get any abnormalities checked out, straight away. This one is the most frightening and I have had the most difficult time getting a straight answer for this repair.

I have just encountered this noise in the short clip below:

I am hoping that there is some wisdom to be imparted to me, on this site, in regards to this issue.

Again, I am a newbee. If I should post this somewhere else, please advise. I couldn't figure out how to start a new thread.

Have you checked the spark plugs to see if any are loose? I've had a loose plug which gave a similar noise before. It's an easy no risk check to do before you buy parts and dive into a chain tensioner replacement.
