Hello, this is a 4.0L SOHC V6 -- so it has camshaft rollers. I have seen the overhead cams make noise when for some reason the roller is not receiving proper oil - first ensure you have a quality Motorcraft oil filter and proper grade of engine oil. This can help initially. Other than that, work in the area of the cam rollers may be required. Have you performed.a compression check?
