Being 70 years old and having worked on vehicles since age 16, I find it interesting to see a clean, repairable Ford engine with 200K miles. I remember the day when an engine of this age would have been on it's 2nd or 3rd overhaul.
...or, if it was a Ford flathead, they'd be on their 5th or 6th overhaul. By the time Ford finally retired the flathead, it was sadly obsolete The Y-block that replaced it was hardly much better.
Im 53, and i was a mechanic forabout 30 years. But due to nerve damage f4om chemo in 2013, along with 4 service connected injuries im done now. But i wouldn't mind just pushing a broom and emptying Rays trash cans, just so i could glean little pearls of wisdom from you Ray.
I applaud you younger Mechanics, as a old fart of 77, I remember when Engines were so much simple to Repair. Ray you are a great Mechanic with Devine Patience...
Hey, yet another old fart mech/tech...I'm 76. In my day there were difficult engines to work on, but modern engines have so many more technical/electronic things included. But the mindset remains the same. And experience pays, repeat procedures lend to knowing where fasteners go (if they are different in places). Ray is of that caliber. Amazing watching his experience showing.
It's great to see people taking care of their vehicles. I don't think a lot of people realize that even a major repair like this is worthwhile on a vehicle that is still in good shape, because the cost of a new truck is just way too much these days.
@@Tread1775 I think the reason most people don’t get the smaller pickup trucks is that they don’t offer much improvement in fuel mileage over the bigger trucks. I talked to a guy who sold his Tacoma for a duramax to save money on fuel.
@@russianrick8403 The Hardbody I had was rated at 17 mpg. The newer 2.0 & 2.5 NA engine gets better than that. In a small truck from back then with the newer 4 cyl NA would get much better mpg. I think the weight of a new small truck similar in size to old version with new engine tech, less all the unnecessary options would do well. The crazy Subaru Baja from the late 2000’s was estimated at 21-27. It can be done, but heaven forbid a manufacturer tries that with an attractive 4X4 these days. Must not be enough exorbitant profit for them. Really irritates me that I can’t get a small body on frame 4X4 with basic interior. There’s a market waiting for it. Most are tired of the prices for full and midsize trucks. ✌️
I agree. it's worth fixing, and keeping. 5he newer vehicles have so much tech in them that we forget that a vehicle is for driving. So if I can keep an oldy but goody running, I'm all in.😊
As a customer, if I walked in and saw all of this destruction and engine carnage, my sphincter would slam shut at such a high speed as to cause my brain to wobble in its compartment. Thank goodness, I know that you know what you're doing and I would have absolute faith in your abilities to ease my apprehension.
Part 2 was equally interesting. Having the knowledge about the history of these engines gives the customer a better repair experience. Replacing the lifters/rockers will make for a better repair and longer engine life. One of the many reasons Ray's customers get quality service. IMO 😊
Recently did the whole timing on my 5.4 3V these engines will last forever with proper oil maintenance. I went with all updated ford parts . From research third party kits aren’t as good
Your a great mechanic, I know because I worked on heavy equipment for many years. Old now but love watching your videos. A man can never stop learning and you are an amazing teacher.
I just picked up my 2009 King Ranch (97k miles) after getting my timing components replaced (including the rocker followers). I'm amazed this guys truck lasted to almost 200k miles before needing it done. Great video as always. :)
That engine looked spotless inside. This guy took very well care of it. There was definitely no missing any 3000 mile oil changes lol. No telling what else he added to keep it running so long
Nice to see a customer who has looked after their vehicle,and is prepared to spend the money on the preventative maintenance to keep it going another 150 thousand miles. They may not be the best engine design (not even close by the sound of it), but you're getting some good content out of it, and more importantly, making good money fixing them.
Especially when people neglect them. My uncle has had a 2008 5.4 f150 fx4 for the last 12 or so years. He changes his oil every 4-5k Kms and his engine is smooth as silk.
The Ford 5.4 2 valve found on the E-250/350 vans, if maintained, is good for 350-500,000 miles once the cam chain tensioners are swapped out for the older but stronger machined steel ones. Ford went for performance on the F pickups series and developed the 3 valve head with variable valve timing based on oil pressure, then screwed the oiling up by replacing the steel cam chain tensioners with cheap plastic ones which as you see here is a major failing point.
This truck is definitely a keeper. Seems like the repair is happening at the right time. I remember going to look at a truck with a 5.4 Triton engine in it. It was parked on a street corner with a few other cars, (Y'all know these places lol). Anyway, the owner shows up with a gallon of oil and proceeds to dump a GALLON in before hitting the key... I truly admired the owner's positive outlook when he stated it ran great. It ran OK for a five cylinder if you could get past the clunking noises from the bottom end. Bless his heart.
Given the cost of new trucks, this truck is in nice shape and worth the major repairs. Better yet to have a thorough and capable mechanic/technician who's even willing to put his work out there on YT.
I don't know but it seems someone with patience can methodically disassemble just about anything, BUT putting it back together correctly and not ending up with a lot of extra parts that's a whole different ball game. Ray you are amazing!!!!!!!!
I’m referring to other videos where you mention the backlash for using additives. I worked at a major motor oil company in the 90’s that somewhat condemned these additives. Those opinions stopped later when they purchased several additive companies but, I bet the influence of those claims still exists. One of their major commercials promoted 3000 miles or 3 months for oil change intervals. Additives work. I have oil fired injectors in my diesel and one was sticking. A quart of additive and 15 minutes later, it was unstuck.
I had one of those engines and done the whole job you are doing minus oil pump replacement. I even have the whole factory top end tool kit dad picked up on ebay
Ray I love your videos. I’ve learned so much about cars and repairs. Honesty, humor, and patience! Super happy to know you’re business is thriving! Great work and best wishes!!
I have a 2010 king ranch f150 5.4, I take very good care of maintaining it. I had a timing job done at 205k for maintenance reasons, no issues. The guides were just starting to show wear. I specifically asked for OEM. The parts guy was we can do it cheaper with aftermarket, .my reply was OEM got me to 205k without issues. I'll stick to OEM for something this critical. Brian at fordmakeyouloco is a great Ford mechanic.
Ray you absolutely amaze me. How you realized all this work was needed from a small rattle on startup simply is the sign of a real mechanic showing his skill. I admit i was skeptical that all this was needed but when you pulled that broken piece out, I was like...DAMN. You are the man!
I recently did this job on my 2012 Expedition. It ran great up until the day it blew a tensioner seal at about 212k miles and I heard the cold start rattle. I drove it for about a week like that before I had a chance to gather all the parts and perform the work. Fortunately, the only damage I was able to see was a cracked guide (same one as in this video). After the work, that thing runs smoother and quieter than I think it ever had. The Melling pump is huge for these engines. The factory pump is only barely enough when the engine is brand new with tight bearings, good tensioner seals, good lifters, etc., but as soon as anything is compromised, oil flow is going to suffer to somewhere. The 5.4 3v gets a lot of hate, but I know very few people that have to crack them open before 200k miles if they're well-maintained. Oil changes every 5k or less is key. The people I know that have had to put a lot of work into them are the ones that go by the oil change indicator on the dash...which ends up being somewhere around 7-8000 miles. I've had several 3v go well into the 300k's before issues. The 08 and later had the updated heads, which fixed the spark plug problems, updated phasers, and a few other upgrades around the block. Those later ones seemed to make the best power and offered the best reliability.
I can't seem to get enough of your videos. It takes a lot of work to work on these newer cars and trucks. I have learned a lot and know better than tackle some of these repairs myself. You are AWESOME!
Hey ray, you should install hose spigots in every bay with nice garden hoses and squeeze free tips. You can flush any cooling system with water prior to opening it up therefore you only have water falling in your eyes and face and arms.
Good video as always Ray These Engines are fun to repair i have done tons of the 5.4l v8 and 6.8l V10 2 valve and 3 valve triton Engines 42:19 @Rainman Ray's Repairs
The rocker/lifter issue was actually 2009-2010 where they really had problems. It happened every now and then in 04-08, but only in motors where they didn't change the oil
When you are there if you are doing the chain and tensioners oil pump and the cams and lifters You might as well pull the head Replace valve guides as well
I just did this entire job myself last fall on my 2008 E-350 5.4. The same engine with the 2 valve heads instead of the 3 valve. Just like you found here, the paper gasket on the Ford plastic cam chain tensioners were both blown. At 180,000 miles I caught it just prior to failure. I am surprised you did not replace the Ford plastic Cam Chain Tensioners with Melling steel Cam Chain Tensioners. Just a few dollars more for a far superior steel unit.
Well Sir, after working at Jasper Engines for over five years i can say with confidence that you are doing a way better job on that engine than they would.
I sadly own one these engines... I truly love my 07'Fi150, with the exception of some pesky oil leaks. It has become the time for a new chain set. I am taking precise notes, that I may be able to do this will some assistance. I really hoping that part three will show the scraping and cleaning process... this is far from my old birds motor. Twice the cams, chains etc. As well as the reassembly phases. Thank you for anotjer awesome and educational video.🙏💜
My Dad's 1971 Ford Ranch Wagon left many important parts of the engine on the road at 40k miles. We found that teeth from the nylon timing gears had broken off and clogged the oil pickup. They put a junk-yard engine in it and sold the thing before it blew up again. FYI it was a 351 2 bbl Windsor V8
Nitpick because I just gotta. Those are actually lash adjusters and cam followers in this engine, Ray. :) And the owner should absolutely approve replacing both for the updated ones. Ya got all this far, why would you not? They oil things better. Even though this got 190K+ on it, no way I'm using them old ones.
I had that same 90 cordless impact wrench. Sold it on eBay because it was too weak to be of much use. I have that same Ridgid impact as well. That thing is awesome!
@@rossgee2950. One of the downsides of using power tools. You’d of felt it hit if you were putting them in with a socket. He’s lucky he didn’t crack it. I was yelling at the screen to stop but he just wouldn’t listen.😝

They do make upgraded chain tensioners with a cast-iron body rather than plastic now.

ts got 200k. I guess we dont worry about valve guides, piston rings, lifters, cams, etc. That motor is not worth doing this too.
5.4 3 valves are crap !!!

@@edifyguyI am east of Indian river
Loving this series
For nearly 200K miles that engine is clean inside.
When you change your oil, it will keep the engine clean.
It's amazing how much longer they last if you take care of them.
AMSOIL plug. 😉😂🤣

This engine is going to be pretty happy maybe it will go to 400K. Looks like good maintenance .
Oooh, part three. I can hardly wait. Bring it on, Ray!!
Nothing like a good morning salute from Ford Engineering. The team that just keeps giving😳😳🤣🤣🤣
If this job becomes necessary with my 09 5.4, now with 140K on it, always maintained and never abused, I would be game to try this myself.

Looking good. Love the teardown, looking forward to the rebuild.
What a cluster Ferd!
I like the color of the truck. It matches my Explorer.
I have an 08 Super Duty. Same engine. 198K Still runs like a top. Oil change every 5K Mobil 1 and Nappa gold filters.

You know what I think of this repair Ray? $$$$$$$$$$$$ And it was still cheaper than buying a new truck.

I do a few of these a year.
Hurts my back watching you bent over that engine compartment for that long.
Fantastic Ray... Waiting on Part 3 and 4....!!
Had the same issue on an 08 Expedition. It’s so much easier to pull the engine and put in a rebuilt one.
Thank you so much for doing this. I’ve learned a lot from your videos. What you’re doing is great.
Ray, that's a lot of work, time and money going into fixing that truck, but if you ask anyone, it will last a while longer. Great job on that one.
Replacing the chain guides and other timing stuff in a 2.2R was the first major job that I ever did.
You ran that puller bolt into the timing chain cover...
I noted this as well. I was cringing as he continued to feed the bolts into the balancer with the impact. That's a major no no.
