Is this excessive phaser ticking?

[NEPA]

Hey all,

Tonight, for whatever reason, I happened to notice my RR has a loud ticking noise. It seems like the noise is coming from the center of the engine.

The truck was fully warmed up when it was making this noise. It might be completely normal but just want to check. My old 2004 5.4 cam phasers gave me PTSD.

Thanks!

No, cam phaser tick happens immediately after starting the engine and only lasts for a second or two.
It's not the same as the old 5.4 cam phaser noise.

Ok, I noticed mine doing this today. It sounds a bit louder on the video than I noticed from outside the truck with the hood closed.

Any luck identifying it? Is it a concern?

Nothing yet good bad or ugly. I just drove it 1000 miles on a trip and no issues. I have it warrantied for 100k miles so whatever.

Oddly enough even though cam phaser noises predominantly happens at start up then they engage this can indeed still be can phaser issues.
