Question Valve Train Clatter

Does anyone know or ever had problems with valve train clatter on a 5.4? I own my 4th 5.4 since they came out in 97' and all have clattered (about 20,000 miles) especially on startup in my F-150's. My wife drives Expeditions with the 5.4 and they do not seem to have this problem.

Welcome to FTE Chuck!!!!!

Do you use Fram oil filters??

If so, try switching to a Motorcraft and see if this solves your
startup noise problem....
