    If you are doing this at home it's probably best to drop the oil pan and check the oil pick up for any bits of plastic that may have come off the chain guides, they can plug up your pick up and starve your engine of precious oil pressure. 🤙

    I laughed when you said perfect after tightening a small bolt and the universal and socket flipped off and fell.

    Great job with everything, you showed the details of the key areas and as we can see the timing components are the easiest part it’s getting everything off especially the valve covers. I noticed you didn’t mention anything about the cam hold downs or the crank lock tool.. and I’m surprised that truck didn’t jump time with the broken right side guide? Awww so there is a square 3/8” female in the cams to move them, so you don’t need the cam adjuster tool.. nice.. just great video.. I have 2000 f250 5.4 2V same engine with 167k mi it’s not extending cranking or anything and runs great but how do I know if there is chain stretch? I have MX808 scanner is there a PID that can tell me an adaption value from 0° to see how much the ECU is compensating on the ignition? How do you know when it’s time to change chains and components? Thanks again one of the best videos ever on UA-cam 👍🏻

    On the 3 valve videos, others put the tensioner in later which make it difficult because the spring loaded resistance. I ended up cross threaded bolt hole.

    TRQ ? it's advised that you should always install a new oil pump like a melling Hi volume oil pump unless you think that oil pump has a extra 100,000 miles of life left in it.

  • @josephklimchock5412
    @josephklimchock5412 Рік тому

    Nice video, you didnt say why you installed new intake, I'm thinking you did due to the water jacket gasket seat blowing out and leaking like most do. I am wondering if I should do timing chains on my 2004 E350 Super Duty van that now has 180K and runs quiet and smooth and has lived on a diet of full synthetic since almost new??? It will take me 2 more years to reach 200K and then maybe do them???

  • @nathanr16
    @nathanr16 Рік тому +3

    Pretty sure you don't need to remove the intake manifold, alternator, etc unless you really want to. Look at the FordMakuLoco video for this engine. He left all that stuff on.

    • @TRQ
      @TRQ  Рік тому +1

      +Robert W Johnson It is recommended to replace the gasket completely if you are missing one, instead of using a gasket compound.

    Not your 11 12 12 will never happen ???? I have never seen any video have the crankshaft keyway at 12 o'clock even the tool for setting the crankshaft at the right position is set for 11 o'clock!!!
    I LOVE this video but YOU SCREWED up this FACT!!!!
