Cam Work now engine sound like diesel

Always had a small oil leak... finally resolved by cam work. Issue is now the pinging of the valves. It happens when I start, after 15 minutes, after 1 hrs.... Guys I work with say it sound like a diesel engine. Took it to two dealers and both say its normal. I have a 5 yr/75K extended warranty and I hope to keep the truck this long to keep it that long. Will my engine eventually seize if this continues?

 

was that the cam tower leak issue that was fixed ? how long have you had the issue and was it doing that noise before you took it in ?

 

kuz, hold on let me take a look.... Yes...from what I see it is a strong possibility.

But bro seriously, that is a really interesting question.

 

My 14' with 13k miles sounds like that too. I bought it new, it did from day one. I believe it's normal.

 

Cam tower fixed
Then the knocking started. Couple of times sounded like jack hammer. Will try Lucas next fill up

 

I've heard this multiple times but the verdict has always been one of two things. Timing cog is off. Or it's "breaking in" and should resolve within a month or so just keep an eye out for leaking.
