those 5.4's have cam tensioners and guides. There is actually a special oil filter that has a baffle type check on it that retains oil when not running so that as soon as it starts you have oil pressure sooner than the others that require it to fill before you have pressure. When the tensioners get weak or the chain stretches a little you hear that rattle at idle. eventually the chain will eat up the guides and get into the aluminum cover causing your oil to have that special metallic sparkle. Its not a bad job changing the tensioners and guides, but do yourself a favor and change the chains as well. You will have to loosen the valve covers a little and drop the oil pan a bit so plan on draining the oil first.
There is also a special tool that goes on the crank to keep anything from moving when you go to change the chains. Or go to a trusted mechanic. Dont ask me how i know....
