Should have put a rag over the oil pan opening, so things didn't fall in there.
You get all the gravy jobs.
ni cde to see you used fomofo parts
The 5.4 and 4.6 motors are the biggest pieces of JUNK Ford ever made especially the timing setup delt with this on 2 different expeditions a f150 and a crown vic not a fan of Ford at all
These are the best jobs. I always loved to take everything apart and put it back together though I always needed a hoist to move the parts. The pistons alone weighed 2000 to 3000 lbs. And then the satisfaction of a good functioning machine…..
..
Gotta love it. Even Websters has caved and now lists irregardless as an acceptable substitution for regardless, even though the ir prefix has always indicated negation of thee following word in the past.
I know you’re a big fan of AVE (who isn’t??) but I was delighted to see an appearance from prudence the safety goat at the start of the vid 👍🏻😁
Also the iconic Edd China orange latex gloves 🤣
Great vids as usual, keep up the good work !!
For that back oil pump pick up tube I took a box end wrench bigger than the bolt head, put a piece of tape on one side, wrapped a piece of string around the bolt, inserted it into hole, applied a slight bit of pressure on it, pulled the string and the bolt threaded it self in like fricking magic! Place a rag in the oil pan because you will drop that bolt…
All parts good except OEM tensioners, junk, they should have got you Melling tensioners….
Ray is finally becoming one with the cars he loves to work on
Watching this we can see how much entertainment seeing someone suffering in clicking and unclicking screws…
Just a small tip on those oil pick up bolts, you will find getting a good magnet held, (taped) against the block will hold them up for you while you have to fiddle them back into the threads. Love the channel please keep them coming.
That oil pickup tube just about killed me when I did my 2006 F150.
I think that was the hardest part of the entire timing repair.
The first time I did this same work on the 3v triton, I was smart enough to know it was the last.
Ray, on the 5.4 ford and 5.3 & 6.0 Chevy oil pick up tube try using mechanics wire with a wrap and twist on the bolt. Leave a long piece of the wire so you can in-twist it when the bolt is nearly snug. It decreases the chance of dropping the bolt in the pan and also holds enough tension for your gear wrench to work. You may have already tried this but I have used this technique a few times and it works for me and saves tons of time. Don’t forget to have a great day.
I hate doing chains
I have a 97 expedition with the 4.6 liter. It's close to the same wrenching on it as the 5.4 liter. I have right around 250.000 miles on it currently. I didn't change the oil for 110,000 miles and to add to it, it also had external head gasket leak and lower intake plenum leak and heater core plugged. I saw the video of the f150 you did the evap core and had to remove the dash and I had to laugh at my self because I still have screws that go to my dash idk where because I took everything apart. But I finally got around to fixing all the stuff under the hood even tho the cost was greater then the worth of the vehicle but it's the first ford I ever liked so it's sentimental. I just wanted to let you know I applaud your work and patience because I was dropping the f bomb and kick tires. Thanks for your videos and the efforts you put in to make sure us viewers can see what's going on.
when you were cleaning the old crud off how much of it went into the open oil pan?
Lol I close my eyes too when I'm trying to do the impossible on my car.
Curious, not a hater, but with the exploded guide why wouldn't you drop the oil pan and check the pickup screen?
I used to think the cost of changing a timing chain was ridiculous. I still do…..only now I think it is ridiculously low rather than ridiculously high.
couple of 5.4 quick tips, when using the valve compressor always press downward on the valve side of the rocker as you compress the spring. I evenly loosen the cams and slide out all of the followers at once. reinstallation is also made with cam raised and take my time retightening the cam. saves hours over using the spring compressor
While in there, and with that mileage, should have replaced all the valve springs, as well…
Hey man. Quick question. What spray are you using to clean off the engine parts? I need some of that for my 2007 bimmer 328i
Where is your shop
Hi good video a job like that how much you charge? 04 Ford E350 5.4
Legs shaking.
Arms a-aching.
Ankles bitten.
Sweat is dripping.
Language reahing,
Family limits.
Get it ray!
Good save Ray! 👍👍☝️✌🏻😎
I always dreaded those even on a bench! Always missing one. 🤣 somewhere??
Ray you need to buy some surgeons forceps, so much better the pliers.
I have an E350 van that had the same engine with 117k miles that was having the same issues. I got it cheap because the previous owner did not want to pay the $$$$ to have this service done. I yanked the crappy 5.4 out (it got sold on Craigslist along with the original tranny) and dropped in a Cummins 24 valve with an Allison 6-speed transmission. Then I converted the van to 4WD with a kit from U-Joint Offroad. Been a great van ever since.
This why I never do engine work. Too many things can go wrong. Too many parts to dismantle.
Yeah those cam followers just pop out and in with a brake spring paddle. Same as dodge.
You had me on the edge of my seat. Ear-regardless, lol I enjoyed the lessons. I'm going to be performing the same work next month on my 2007 Lincoln Navigator L
have you ever thought of working for NASA you should, the wheelbarrow engineers that criticize you are just jealous of you
What have I learned tonight? Cam followers and their keepers suck.
Oh crap… I'm glad shit like the valve keeper coming off happens to professionals too…. Of course if it happened to me, I'd have lost the valve, because that's just how my rotten luck is.
Damn…. Gotta be a friggin contortionist to do the oil pump. Wonder how one of those mobile phone endoscopes would work, so you could at least see what you're doing in there
a not bad idea one of my techs do at the shop I'm apprenticing at likes to tap all the valves with a little brass hammer before he compresses the spring in order to break it loose from the stem, from what i understand it may help avoid that hell you went through with the keepers coming off
T-shirt: Cam Phaser Face. Homage to Taserface.
Use a next for next time 10 mill flex Is ratchet. Wrench.
Change the oil pump to A P MillerSince you're there probably not going to but that's OK but maybe next time you should try to upsell there's a reason behind it Hey very good reason he won't be doing that at another 142000 miles try maybe 2 or 300 Because the ones of the oh yeah parts that need to be changed would be to go in attention That you could probably get away with the oil pump and the oil tensioner. From plastic to cast iron oil tensioners. But everything else OEM.
On the plus side, it looks like there is heaps of room in the engine bay.
Awesom!
Take off the front tires give u couple extra inches so u don’t have to use the bucket to stand on
Why take out all the followers in this finicky and complicated way, why not just unbolt the cams and have free access to all the followers at once ?
I would walk a way for a bit and then come back
