Timing Component Brands
Ok... So my 2008 5.4 3 valve had a lifter (lash adjuster) to collapse and cause the rocker arm (roller/follower) to become unseated and caused horrible noise under the valve cover, howbeit no catastrophic damage. At 165,000 miles, I want to change out all of my rockers, lifters and timing components. I don't want to pay an arm and a leg, but I also don't want to be climbing back into this engine anytime soon. Any suggestions as to the brands I should go with?

same happened to me
oem select ebay lash adj and rollers $265 oem stuff . Also bought my timing gear stuff from him $798.
Amazon oil pump melling 360 $100
Metal tensioners amazon ----don't use plastic ones use oem from 2v engines or melling no gaskets to blow out and it ratchets.
Maybe you can talk to oem select and make a deal without plastic tensioners .
Oem VCTS amazon $60 each 5.4L 3V VCT Control Solenoid 8L3Z-6M280-B - Genuine Ford OEM

35k- running smooth
now at 175k target 280 to 300k . Don't use junk . Change plugs every 30 to 50k . Oil syn before 5k . Put drain type transmission pan on, change filter and use mercon v , change out every few days/ 100 miles until you go thru 20 quarts .
Change boots on plugs and use dielectric grease . Clean out tip area of cyl with carb cleaner before putting new plugs in . If you don't you will fight misfires .
