Thank God. At least one person who now understand that a simple disfunction can cost a lot of labour to get to the problem. I've just had a repair on a doorlock. "But why does it cost two hours?" Because there's a lot of work to disassemble and disconnect etc. etc and everything the other way around when jobs done. Cleaning and testing etc. etc.
Back in the olden days (1960s) a petcock valve was a butterfly handle with a hole in the middle of the shaft. When you loosened it, the fluid would drain out of the center of the shaft. I miss those days. No computers, no emission to speak of. Better times.
@@LoganHester-1489 wtf are you talking about. i just pointed out an approximate cost breakdown. i made no opinion or anything. i will make another observation though, some weirdos scan the comments looking for anything to get mad about.
I love watching these types of jobs, especially because it freshens up the whole engine, especially the way ray does it with replacing all gaskets, water pumps, & all timing parts.
Very informative Ray. I love all the "How To" explanations. I was like being back in my high school auto shop class. I love this format and would still watch all your videos if they were this long and contained this level of explanations. I find it interesting and like the fact that you take the time in your videos to try to explain thing so that people that have never worked on a vehicle before can understand but at the same time people that have worked on vehicles don't get bored of feel like they are being made to suffer with, or feel like they are being forced to listen to "infantile" explanations. Keep up the good work Ray & Lauren. My wife unit and I really enjoy you videos!!
When possible, it’s always the first place I go on UA-cam! You’re great with my first cup of coffee. Plus you convinced me to change from 40 years of using Mobil 1 to AMSOIL. Thanks.
This was IMPRESSIVE Ray! Not just the incredibly involved disassembly, but your control of the commentary, your falangeal- control, exceptional camera work and especially - finger-poking the Wife Unit on live TV!😊 You ARE the man! Thanks for a great LONG-form vid!!! ❤🎉🎉
Your word analysis reminds me when I was in fourth grade and I asked the teacher, " if the verb past is freeze is froze and frozen shouldn't the verb squeeze go to be Squeeze and squozen?" Boom!! down to vice principal's office for being smart mouth,.!!!!!
Hey Ray, I remember watching you do a similar job to this. Phaser noise on startup and the engine warranty company required that you start the engine without the valve covers on. That was fun to watch.
I wish i watched this video before I took the intake off on a car I was working on. Pulled that connector right off that was on the back of the intake and had to rewire it. Well you live and learn I guess
Haven't seen a good disassembly video in quite a while, actually a part 2. Another example from the engineers at Ford. Way too much work, glad you're the man for the job. It will get done correctly. Thanks for the vids Ray!
I followed the videos from Ford Tech Makuloco to do this job on my sons 2011 Expedition. This is the perverbial you might as well as job when you are in there. Did timing job, new lifters, new rockers, new oil pump. Job just takes patience, especially doing the oil pump without dropping the oil pan!
Also, make sure to use Ford parts. I had to do this twice because tensioner seal blew out again on replacement Cloyes part. It had improved recessed groove design, yet it still blew out. Second time around, I put Ford genuine parts..
yep, watched and followed these instructions and was able to rebuild the top half, perform a timing job, and replace the water and oil pump, whether it needed it or not, because I had no plans of going back in for a second time!
Ray, I guess with new trucks running 60-90 thousand it's worth a few grand to keep an otherwise good condition one on the road! But Ford engineers sure made it as hard as possible to keep one running! Wow!
I’m looking at your repair video now on this ford 🛻 u working on n I gotta give u your props for taking your time in putting everything in reverse order working on any ford models 🚘 or 🛻 is not for the weak i promise u 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Ray is a good technician aka mechanic and honest,If I lived in Florida I would send or take my car to him. Lauren looks so BEAUTIFUL in the morning and always. Love 💘 you Lauren.
Everyone disses these 5.4 3V engines but I’ve got 255,000 original miles on mine and really the only thing I’ve had trouble with is Cats……oh and 2 alternators and 3 batteries. I have a Supertune in it too. Bought it new in ‘06. Oil changes every 5k religiously with blend oil
I like how you say “we are gonna start the serious tear down”. After spending 2 hours taking off one valve cover! I remember back in the sixties it took 20 minutes to get off 2 valve covers! And Ray is easily 3 times faster than I ever was…
Just say it, the 5.4 is junk from the factory. This guy hit the jackpot getting that many miles before it went sideways. How do you remember where everything goes? I use a big piece of cardboard to hold fasteners and components. Poke holes and stick fasteners in the holes and mark everything. Also a LOT of pictures during disassembly and label all wiring. I am not a mechanic, but am mechanically inclined. Apartment maintenance technician is my trade, but I keep my junk running for the last 50 years. I applaud your knowledge and work ethic. I wish i lived closer, I`m getting up in years now(67) and cannot do that voodoo i used to do years ago. You have yourself a great day Ray.
@Ray: long time subscriber and fan that watches most of your videos here. I just have to say, what you do here is an ART! And you do an amazing job making videos.. words really cant describe the amount of respect I have for you and what you do..its just amazing. I feel I would be lesser of a person had I not found your channel. I will forever value and apply the information that you teach. Thanks for being you!
Nice video ray. Now, people, before you go thinking this job only took a little bit over an hour to do, take a second and realize that through the wonder of video editing, it can look like that but I guarantee you that Ray spent longer than that breaking this all down for us. Oh, and if you question the labour rates at your shop, now you may have a better understanding of what the techs go through to make that repair for you.
Ray, I got to tell you from experience, Always, always replace the lifters and rockers if you are doing a 5.4 timing job. I thought I could save a little money cause they looked good at 195k. I made it to 197k, broke a lifter, got a piece past the open valve and ended up buying a new motor. Always.
I did this fairly recently! The owner replaced the VVT Solonoids due to a fault code for it! Didn't fix it as the Check engine Light was still on. The Engine wasn't that noisey surprisingly! Took the Oil Filler cap off and could see bits of plastic wedged in around the phaser area and NO guide to be seen! Stripped it all down and found RH guides destroyed!!! very little left! So replaced Phasers chains guides etc! Took Sump off as bound to be lots of plastic in the sump! Sure enough plenty in the Oil Strainer and sump!! Run good after!!
Rattle at cold start could be low oil pressure at the chain tensioner, if it's hydraulic. Could be blockage in the galleys, so it takes longer to build enough pressure in the tensioner to actually tension.
WOW, I remember a time when removing a valve cover meant, a vacuum line or two, PCV valve line and pulling some spark wires then covers. This is crazy!
44th! Well, it’s Tuesday Ray,Lauren, Dave,Justin and the part time employee. You daily videos get my day started, there well done and entertaining. Always puts a smile on my face. Roger in Pierre South Dakota
We fell through the matrix! 🤣🤣 Always enjoy your videos Ray. Watched an old video when Caster Troy was working for you. Have you stayed in touch, and if so, how is he doing? You and your family have a great week.
Newer engines work really great, and last a long time compared to previous years. Where I live in Canada finding a shop like Rays Garage to perform this type of work is very difficult. Most times the truck would end up at the dealer and the repair cost would be prohibitive. I was watching NASCAR stock racing in the 1960’s and when I look at the numbers I could go and buy a new vehicle today that would meet or exceed the performance of a race car from the 1960’s. I could drive that thing for the 500 miles of Daytona, then change the oil and drive it for another 200,000 miles. New cars are a pain the ass to work on, but their performance is impressive.
Amazing what keeping oil clean in an engine does, that engine has done really well for the mileage. Nice to see a well maintained vehicle being worked on.
There was a time, back in the day, that would (kind of) want to have to pull this stuff apart, and do “deep” DIY repairs like this, and have some some .. A discovery/experience so to speak. However, my discovery/learning catalog is satisfied any more. I have scanners, tools and stuff, and still do it myself, but today’s automotive technology is somewhat terrifying.
What a massive disassembly job, makes my knuckles hurt, but you make it look relatively easy! I had to shake my head and laugh when you so easily removed the trans dipstick securing bolt from the side of the block, first of all, it looks brand new with 197K miles, and it came right out. I had to remove a similar bolt on my '03 4Runner when I did the valve covers a few months back, it was a rust mess and difficult to break loose. Got to love the rust belt.
All things considered that engine wasn't that bad inside. Fairly clean, cams looked good. I believe in your former job you had one of these torn down. That was my first look inside that Ford engine design. Quite a lot to tear down to get to the timing/oil pump, which always encourages top shelf work; don't want to go back into that one for free for sure. Thanks for the part one, looking forward to to part two. Thanks also for the Lauren/WifeUnit cameo. She puts up with a lot of silliness with you, I'm sure. 😊
Just did a 3-valve. Replaced all chain parts roller followers, lash adjusters, and upgraded Melling pump. All parts except pump were the latest versions from Ford. It made a significant difference in the oil pressure.
These engines have a belt tensioner that drills a hole in the timing cover, when they fail, so I always check them and the water pump by pass tube inside the pump housing, that little part erodes on the inside and leak under the intake manifold. I have videos posted you can watch.
on the 5.4 phaser job, upgrade the oil with one that supplies higher pressure AND volume as well of using 10w30 full synthetic oil. total cure. i did mine to make a world of difference!
Mannnn!!!! I was waiting for another home alone clip!!! I fell out my chair laughing!😂😂😂 Been waiting for another (The door locks) though! Your videos are gold my man!😎 And bonus, chipmunk ray made a appearance!🤣
WoW!!! For a 2008 That's a big job. I'm kinda glad on having the F250 of that year - a bit more room to get things a part... I sure appreciate you hard work and time - And your commentary is quite enjoyable but we miss the doodlydoodlydoo's
Experience really makes a difference... How you remember where all these things go when you reassemble is amazing...
Yes I agree Whit You. All this parts he fix togheter again. Ray is Fantastc
The bolts are the most important. The rest of stuff like harnesses and what-not will mostly fall back into place. You do still have to have some understanding and sense about it. But for the most part, if you learn the basics and have a love for fixing things, it's all pretty much common sense.

It's a known issue with the Ford cam phasers.
Cam phases do not create tension in the chain. That is from the tensioner failed/ leaking oil or like he said, low oil pressure. @@bearing_aficionado

That's a lot of dismantling. I'm impressed. I wouldn't remember where everything goes.
That motor looks well maintained
That is a crazy amount of work! Great job Ray!
Newer engines work really great, and last a long time compared to previous years.
Where I live in Canada finding a shop like Rays Garage to perform this type of work is very difficult.
Most times the truck would end up at the dealer and the repair cost would be prohibitive.
I was watching NASCAR stock racing in the 1960’s and when I look at the numbers I could go and buy a new vehicle today that would meet or exceed the performance of a race car from the 1960’s. I could drive that thing for the 500 miles of Daytona, then change the oil and drive it for another 200,000 miles.

Happened to fall asleep this time. Must be because of a Ford :)
This is insane how much needs to be removed to replace a timing chain. Nice work of explaining everything.
There was a time, back in the day, that would (kind of) want to have to pull this stuff apart, and do “deep” DIY repairs like this, and have some some .. A discovery/experience so to speak. However, my discovery/learning catalog is satisfied any more. I have scanners, tools and stuff, and still do it myself, but today’s automotive technology is somewhat terrifying.
What a massive disassembly job, makes my knuckles hurt, but you make it look relatively easy! I had to shake my head and laugh when you so easily removed the trans dipstick securing bolt from the side of the block, first of all, it looks brand new with 197K miles, and it came right out. I had to remove a similar bolt on my '03 4Runner when I did the valve covers a few months back, it was a rust mess and difficult to break loose. Got to love the rust belt.
Just got here but look at how neat the tool tray is
When i do these i just pull engine much easier and is the same amount of time also includes rear main seal and trans front pump seal
Great video Ray Man
Oh my Rain!!! this is crazy.
Welcoming back!
All things considered that engine wasn't that bad inside. Fairly clean, cams looked good. I believe in your former job you had one of these torn down. That was my first look inside that Ford engine design. Quite a lot to tear down to get to the timing/oil pump, which always encourages top shelf work; don't want to go back into that one for free for sure. Thanks for the part one, looking forward to to part two.
Thanks also for the Lauren/WifeUnit cameo. She puts up with a lot of silliness with you, I'm sure. 😊
Diesel Creek made a custom shop nearly at the end of a long dirt road before he covered it with tons of gravel.😊
Timing chains were so easy in the 60's 70's 80's . I just did one in a 1991 GMC 1500 , it was a cake walk .
Just did a 3-valve. Replaced all chain parts roller followers, lash adjusters, and upgraded Melling pump. All parts except pump were the latest versions from Ford. It made a significant difference in the oil pressure.
My wife had a 5.4 and it went boom.
1:33 For the first time ever, we get to see ourselves in the video!
Got to love Ray giving us all the bird😂. Rays ac machine beeped I got up to see who left the fridge door open lol.
nice to be back to do what you do best🙂
Lol she looked so impressed with finger poke
😊I was waiting for her to say, watch where you poke that thing.
I was told by an old timer that the best cure for a hurt finger is to soak it in-cider...clean version.
Once that callused cuticle starts ripping, it hangs on everything.
These engines have a belt tensioner that drills a hole in the timing cover, when they fail, so I always check them and the water pump by pass tube inside the pump housing, that little part erodes on the inside and leak under the intake manifold. I have videos posted you can watch.
I forgo how much I enjoyed your channel.
Thanks.. I‘ve been waiting for this video on the 5.4.
on the 5.4 phaser job, upgrade the oil with one that supplies higher pressure AND volume as well of using 10w30 full synthetic oil. total cure. i did mine to make a world of difference!
I did the same, did help the cold start up rattle...
From what I've heard, once you have done all of that work it is a pretty good engine.
