4.6 problem
I have an 02 explorer with the 4.6 and have searched for hrs on here about a rattle or valvetrain issue. im pretty sure the noise im hearing isnt from pinging. When the truck is in park you can not hear any noise. The moment you are in reverse or forward there is a very slight noise, nothing to worry about. When accelerating you start to hear a rattle. The more you accelerate the louder it becomes. Alot of people have this issue but i havent seem to find what the cause of this is.

actually it sounds like a tin can. the moment you put it in gear and not move you can hear it slightly and then the more you accelerate the louder it gets. whats weird is that if you goto WOT, its like the noise isnt there. The more i think about it, it seems the sound started after i had plugs put in it. Not right afterwards but sometime after plugs.
