Allot of people dis the 2.9, but I've had a bunch and still daily drive one. The one I have now is bored 30over, running 4.0 injectors, 4.0 computer, egr delete, aftermarket heads, later model throttle body, you know, most the goodies. Fm146 Mitsubishi trans, 1350 tcase, 8.8 rear with 4.11s front and rear. Locked diffs. I beat the hell out of it. 2.5inch lift using f150 coils and leafs, 31s, just a tough and reliable buggy
Put bolts back in parts and label everything with tape. Take lots of pictures. I just pulled the engine right away that way I can replace all the seals so I don't have any oil leaks, it drives me crazy.
I have a question when you were putting the engine together and putting the Pistons and the rods in there which way did you put the pistons and rods in there I’m having a problem with one of mine building my 29 and it doesn’t specify which way to put the roads
Weiser Idaho? I'm in lowman homie. Trying to find some videos on tear down. Have the same motor in my bronco ii and it won't start, has fuel and spark though
How much was all of the machine work you had done? Also, What did you have done? Give me a list of it on here. I was given a quote for $300 for honing, boring, hot tanking, and full head rebuild/jobs.
maddmaxx636 northwest motor and machine in Nampa did my work. I had the crank polished , the block bored .75 mm over, finish homes for plasma moly rings and line bored and hot tanked . If I remember right it cost me around 250$-300. They have a “package” that they do! Really knowledge people! And great work!!
@@adamsrestoration91 Nice! I found shot down here in southern GA and the guy told me 300 bucks for all of that including getting the heads rebuilt and put together. I believe that's what he said included getting the heads put together. Ive got my tax returns money saved up for this build! I cant wait until either mid or late summer to do this! (It all depends on how the motor feels haha)
maddmaxx636 just be thorough and take your time. Double check torque on everything. Break in the cam 20 minutes between 2200-2600 rpm. Then 500 miles on the rings before you beat on it depending on how it’s gonna be treated haha. If it’s a race engine then that’s different!!

Thanks for help

Where is the spark plugs?
I have a 2.9v6 from 1990 bronco 2 what other issues did that year have
David shoot I think they had that thing figured out by then. In 89 they recast they heads on the 2.9 to be thicker and better than the last ones
Hey man I not speak English but I have a motor 2.9 and am not sure the put a time the sprocket crankshaft and camshaft do you help me please
Juan Carlos Nevarez hey just watch all the videos on me rebuilding this truck engine!! It’s in one of them!! Good luck!!!
Did your exhaust manifold bolts snap? If so where did you find new ones?
No they did not but I put in grade 8. And I just matched them up with the grade 8 bolts from the hardware store

Copenhagen bro just keep watching this series of vids!! There’s a complete tear down!!
Also check your compression pressure and check ignition timing!!
Im trying to find oht how the rods go i. I looked up alot say to put all the oil holes facing the middle of the block
But my engine has the rods facing the wrong way on one side
Im having so much trouble finding some exhaust manifold bolts
Where did you get yours??
David I swapped headers on it. The hardware came with it
ajs72ford 390 would it be possible to have a link to where you got yours?
David look up the part number 70-1117!! Pace setter!!
ajs72ford 390 thank you so much!
But I just checked and it illegal in Ca😂
David just figure out the thread and such and go get some stainless bolts and use anti seize as that sucks about the carb thing
