Engine noise, F150 2004

Ford F-150 2004  150000 miles
The engine of my F150 5.4 Lariat sounds as if it was diesel, and on the passenger side the engine block makes a clanking sound. When I start it it doesn't make the noise, but as soon as it warms up it starts again. I checked the cranshaft's connecting rods and everything looks fine, the timing belt is new but the noise is still there, and it vibrates and loses accelaration when you throttle it.

I have the same problem with a 4WD, a mechanic saw it and said it only needed oil because this engines have almost 2 gallons, and also told me to change the oil pump.

Oil low pressure

Ford F-150 2017 Turbo ecoboost 3.5 200000 miles
At the start, engine has a sound like hitting something, and after a couple minutes, warning low oil pressure, but back to the normal when I accelerate, sometimes appears the warning in high rpm (2500) and doesn't recover with the gas pedal. I have codes of crankshaft position sensor problems. I'm thinking to replace timing chain, but before start, any advices?

I decide to replace timing chain, phasers, solenoids, oil pan, rotors, oil pressure sensor. I'm still working on it

After I disassemble the oil pan and skirt to unmount the oil pump, I inspected it and the oil pump doesn't look good, has a lot scratches and now I'll replace it

Oil change

Ford F-150 2008  116 miles
My truck got an oil change, and they used thin oil, and the enging started vibrating really badly. I took it to the mechanic and he said I should use thicker oil, and they changed it. It worked somewhat alright. But after I drive 6 miles and make a stop, the engine starts vibrating badly again, and I have to leave it to cool down for 30 minutes. They told me to change the timing belt, but I did it and it still does the same
