I will be honest in that I install new lash adjusters dry and if the motor isn't totally silent in about 3 seconds after the initial start there is a problem somewhere. Either the lash adjuster is sticking or something is clearancing itself if it takes more than few seconds for any noises to go away.
Here is a short not-so-good idle video for everyone's enjoyment

why the hell doesn't my cms 2.5 blower cams sound like that? Is it my STEEDA Catback? That sounds much meaner than mine does night and day difference.
They were properly degreed by a buddy who is a Ford Motor Tech.

Does anyone have any ideas as to why my car is throwing those 3 codes I mentioned? Would the car sitting for a while/being jacked up for a while make the fuel level sender stick which would throw the one code?

So the the P0190 code went away. Now all thats left is P0460 and P0453. For some reason my little metal flap that is spring loaded in my gas filler neck is stuck and doesn't close. The spring is actually keeping it open. I think this is what is giving me the P0453 FTP code. The flap wasn't broken before I parked my car so I can't think of how that flap would get messed up.
