This was my first time seeing Jordan and learning about his company. One year later I have a set of his TFS heads/Comp cam combos for my SVT Lightning! They look so good I don’t want to install them. Thanks Andrew and Jordan
I love the technical content. I have a 13 GT500 making around 800hp, but I'm on stock internals. After watching these vids, there's no question about who I'm sending my motor to when it's time for a built motor. Jordan's desire for perfection is amazing and something you don't see often. I can't wait to see you beat the snot out of this once it's up and running!!!
So much can go wrong. Tremendous respect for anyone who can build a motor and consistently do a good job.You have to stay disciplined mentally, and keep your mind on your business. I love how he’s not playing music in the background.
One of the qualities a person posses when they are truly skilled and therefore confident is that they will be enthusiastic and willing to share and help others.
I blueprinted my 6 cyl Ford 4.0 L engine back in 2004 used over sized pistons and moly rings nothing special and block still running strong today - I brought all tolerance up to the narrowest figure allowed eased off just a bit so it took a long time to run in with some early overheating issues but it has lasted all this time and still runs around 90% compression on all cyls and refuses to die
Fascinating.👍 I've read about the blueprinting process but never viewed a video. You're a very confident presenter; I like that. Should I need to wring out a little more muscle from my 5.0, I'll bring it to you.🙂
Folks some motors just have tick slight piston slap the older Honda 4 cylinders were notorious for piston slap but one the most reliable 4 cylinders ever but like I tell people that slight tick that some 18+ model or gen 3 coyotes have is nothing to worries about most solve with a oil modify treatment
Absolutely loved this video, can’t wait for the rest! His attention to detail and knowledge is second to none. When I do build a motor, I’ll be taking it to him. Especially since he’s local!
Great job I will be buying his products from all the way from Texas and California because I see his craftsmanship and I love it Tks to this channel also !!
Love these with Jordan and modular head shop!! He is the man! Can’t wait to get some goodies from there! And send some of my parts to be corrected by the best!
@Earl James I think i would have got me ass kicked across the workshop if i did some of the things in the video when i did my time in the 80,s mind you we all do things differently .who is to say one is better than the other
You can tell your engine builder really gives AF about what he does, and his quality/attention to detail of his work. I'd like to use him someday if I ever build an engine. To bad I'm way up in Michigan.
Love to have a small camera inserted in those oil holes in the crack and see if just a 1/10th of a mm larger opening could be done, before balancing the crack etc. :) the same with other easy access area of the block for more easier oil flow in all aspects of the long block. :)
Randy Vanderheyden Ford svt engine builders are selected from a pretty diverse profile of skilled people. Those guys are no joke. They're very skilled in what they do.
This dudes Brain makes mine hurt!! I am as stupid as I thought I was!! Lol!! In all seriousness love the attention to detail!! Might be sending my Long Block to ya!! Keep up the great work!!
Mmr is good and all, but I can tell by just looking at my teksid block I have that it was not built with the attention it should have been more of a get it in and out quick, thus why it’s gonna go into a local shop to have it taken apart and check balance and everything else
so ball park how much would it cost to rebuild the engine? or how much ballpark would something like what youve done to your mustang cost appprox? im looking at having to do that after the turbo was rebuilt, never did a compression test and the price keeps going up on me so im pulling it out, i would love to know a ballpark so i know if im getting royaly ripped or just gently screwed ya kno.... please help me out.. i paid over 1200 for the turbo to get sent out 5 months later got it back, and now they r saying 3400 to rebuild the top end, and just called today asking if i would be down with just doing a complete engine swap! please help me out andrew im getting royally screwed i know more than i let on about cars, and the first thing he should have done before even sending the turbo out was to do a complete compression test... do you agree? please help me out im beyond on overload, i just wish i could sell the car and just part ways and get a motorcycle instead or something.. please let me know a ballpark so i can compare and see how bad im getting ripped.. thanks soo very much in advance hope your healthy and safe.. god speed man i wish i could! -p3t3r
Like to know if jordan has the contacts to have the block sonicaly tested and X rayed as it provides the imperfections in the block and weak spots as well. :) After all if that is done you can modify those areas which needs attention. :)
Dam I can’t wait to send him my Manley crank rods and pistons. With things slowing down might be another year holding on to my parts 😂.., any way dam you car is going to be sick
I thought that balance and blue printed means that you measured and weighed all parts , cylinders bores, journals to exactly the same. Looks more like general line assembly
It could be a big mistake using the electric impact to chase them threads like that me personally I would do all that by hand so that way you can be more precise doing it one little mistake on driving the thread chaser too deep or driving it in there on a very slight angle and that block becomes a very expensive boat anchor or you could hold the block together with Heli-Coils which is not a good idea at all because the block would not hold together at all especially as soon as you put any good amount of HP or TQ
David Peterson not really needed with a high end forged piston. That and they almost always are removed because they no longer clear the rods on a built motor.
When he says shamper, its called shoulder in most engineering circle ,but who cares right and does anyone know what the symbol for a nut and bolt are in engineering drawings, its a X and 0. cheers :) and using titanium bolts will make those critical larger bolts even more stringer and less weight thus improving stability as good titanium bolts are around the 14.9 grade and not the standard 12.9 grade and even hex bolts are stronger than your normal factory bolts so the stronger bolts you have and the stronger material used when rebuilding a block and all the various other areas when building for performance its better to use the best products and thus you don't have to worry about bolts breaking and more importantly the blueprinting and balancing is the most important for any engine build, as it is shown on various videos a coin is placed on the rocker cover and the engine is reved over 7,000 rpm and the coin does not fall over now that is perfection people. :)
I like MHS, but im way to loyal to MMR. Been building off their parts for years and wont ever change. Their prices and quality is just to hard to beat.
It would be done by now if he wasn't explaining everything to Mike and subsequently us, the audience. I for one appreciate him taking that extra time. It's a great series of vids.
5.4 truck block = same bore as 4.6 but longer stroke for more torque. Ford GT (5.4) and GT500 (5.8) have same stroke (as 4.6) but bigger bore for more horsepower.
Mike Is like a Match Grade Rifle. He will not miss his intended target of perfection.
With a 1 in 5.8 twist rate.
This was my first time seeing Jordan and learning about his company.

Dude, Jordan is The Man!!!! Damn he dont cut any corners on anything. Andrew, I cant wait to see the GT500 run again, it should be wicked fast

I could watch these vids all day.
Jorden is the Rain Man of engines good lard man very impressive!
eric smith you got that right!!
I am impressed with the detail shown here. Very impressed.
I know where I will be sending my 5.4 for a Rebuild, attention to detail is amazing.
Fascinating.👍 I've read about the blueprinting process but never viewed a video. You're a very confident presenter; I like that. Should I need to wring out a little more muscle from my 5.0, I'll bring it to you.🙂
Curious to see what Jordan thinks about the infamous coyote tick? Would make a interesting video
Don Smith yeah it would . Do you know what causes the tick ?
Folks some motors just have tick slight piston slap the older Honda 4 cylinders were notorious for piston slap but one the most reliable 4 cylinders ever but like I tell people that slight tick that some 18+ model or gen 3 coyotes have is nothing to worries about most solve with a oil modify treatment
Ive heard tick is cause by fuel injectors at work
I think you found the best guy to assemble your engine bro!
If I ever need a motor built, he will get my business. That dude is meticulous!
Great content. This type of stuff will definitely build the channel.
he treats it like a baby boy, gotta love it!
I'm loving these engine build videos!
Correct me if I'm wrong but the oil squirters are for cooling/lubricating the back side of the pistons and wrist pins.
He is awesome really knows his engines! Andrew your engine is going to be a beast!! Makes sure every little detail is spot on!!
Absolutely loved this video, can’t wait for the rest! His attention to detail and knowledge is second to none. When I do build a motor, I’ll be taking it to him. Especially since he’s local!
Damn what an awesome job! that guy is incredible building your engine!
Great job I will be buying his products from all the way from Texas and California because I see his craftsmanship and I love it Tks to this channel also !!
thanks for making these videos people can learn things from what you put out just like to say thanks
Also Andrew hope you Ashley are staying safe and healthy!
Best engine builder out there !
Love these with Jordan and modular head shop!! He is the man! Can’t wait to get some goodies from there! And send some of my parts to be corrected by the best!
This guy has forgotten more than most engine builders will ever know.
Tom Nekuda
Brown noser!!

What are you talking about? He's way to young to say that.
@@andy347495 Whatever you say....

Glad to see someone as dedicated to their work and craft as I am
Outfuckingstanding!
This dude should be hand building engines for Ford Performance/SVT
Agreed! They would have stronger modular motors thats for sure.

I have a serious question. What's the tolerance of shaven hair to scalp when running a stage 5 mohawk? LOL. You're a class act Jordan. Great videos.
Those chain guides are nice!!
Yes they are!
They look amazing
Nice vid! He needs to do one on how to degree aftermarket cams.

This is awesome stuff, Killer mohawk!
He knows what he is doing. Good video. Why did he use a heli coil instead of an insert?
U said it, he knows what he is doing ..
I thought that balance and blue printed means that you measured and weighed all parts , cylinders bores, journals to exactly the same. Looks more like general line assembly
This goes without saying, when I build the 5.4 that I currently have 50k in, this guy will be doing it.
Taps are for cutting new threads... thread chasers are used to clean threads. But I’m not a machinist. 🤷🏼♂️
what was the clearance for the number one journal? we know the crank was 2.6570
What type of cost is it to rebuild that engine? Labor.
Engine genius!
I wish I could skip sleeves ....May I what sleeves are being used to keep STOCK displacement
You'd better run that motor in properly when it's back in the car! Jordan has built you a work of art. A thing of beauty! Be gentle with her.
It could be a big mistake using the electric impact to chase them threads like that me personally I would do all that by hand so that way you can be more precise doing it one little mistake on driving the thread chaser too deep or driving it in there on a very slight angle and that block becomes a very expensive boat anchor or you could hold the block together with Heli-Coils which is not a good idea at all because the block would not hold together at all especially as soon as you put any good amount of HP or TQ
Did u watch the video? He said “ I turn my torque all the way down to 4”
I loved it, great info and you stepping up your game bid time. Just trim you beard as it looks classier
Great video
i would never block off the oil squirters. They are key in keeping the pistons cool under high rpm which prevents detonation.
David Peterson not really needed with a high end forged piston. That and they almost always are removed because they no longer clear the rods on a built motor.
@@douglasm3310 I know there are clearance issues with s stroked engine but most leave the displacement stock. Thanks for the reply.
Road racing or standing mile maybe but for street/drag cars it’s not necessary. Ford only added it on the 5.8 to get to 200mph top speed
David Peterson it’s not just on a stroked engine. A stock stroke rod also will not clear because forged rods are so much thicker than oem.
@@douglasm3310 thank you for the info.
Jordan is the man. He does a fantastic job on Gods gift to engines, the LS
I really enjoyed that
Any idea of your Target HP and TQ numbers?
Someone explain why he torqued the rod bolts before they were installed on the crank? Is it to prestretch the bolts?
Ahh I see. To blueprint.
Is a 5.8 base on the 5.4 ? Stroke or bigger bore or both ?
Bored out 4.6…
Man I really wish I used Jordan for my 2v short block lol, ima end up saying this in every video lol, lmao!! I think his work is way better then mmr
Wow that detail he puts into that engine is just crazy!! Deburrr and all
Can we purchase those chain guides in Australia. They look awesome.
I believe he could send them. Contact mike and tell him we sent you.

Chamfer. Not shamper.
Takes some nerve to rock a mohawk. Damn bro.
Why do you not vacuum all your fines up
We are the lolly pop kids the lolly pop kids.. cool mohawk bro i cant take you serious witj it.
I’m sure he will miss you.
Yeah 💪
I like MHS, but im way to loyal to MMR. Been building off their parts for years and wont ever change. Their prices and quality is just to hard to beat.
Good to know 👍
Price check
Wow!
I wish that shit heads at mmr would have drilled my block for the bigger pins, I’m having it done locally now with the cobra engineering 8mm
Safety glasses.
😎
I love this guys attention to detail. I wish i knew someone local that was that good. Do they only do modular junk or do they work on LS stuff too.
Modular stuff and LS junk.
👍🏽
totally off subject.. Mike! I bet you would have a killer ass voice, if you sang! You have a unique voice! Super random!! sorry heheh
👍💯
Jordan is the man. i got most of my parts and all my head work from him. Check my channel out to see
@Triple D Legends
No safety glasses while using a drill press! You would never see a Toyota builder make such an egregious error.
We have a guy like you at work, does nothing but walk around commenting on safety and how he would do it .
We don’t need 2 of you.
Why is this guy taking so long to build your engine? Lol dude is dragging his feet
Chase Reid good things come to those who wait
Chase calm down dude. You cannot rush perfection!
It would be done by now if he wasn't explaining everything to Mike and subsequently us, the audience. I for one appreciate him taking that extra time. It's a great series of vids.
need some eye protection doing this regardless of how insignificant the work, shame on you
During block prep I had safety glasses on 100% of the time. No safety glasses are needed for assembly or blueprinting
How about you worry about you . Christ
He knows his shit!!!
Camaro guy, enjoy some mustang stuff.....
What's the difference between the 5.8 and 5.4 block
5.4 truck block = same bore as 4.6 but longer stroke for more torque. Ford GT (5.4) and GT500 (5.8) have same stroke (as 4.6) but bigger bore for more horsepower.
