2000 F150 - How to Change Head Gaskets in Under 5 Minutes
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 сер 2024
- A picture guide showing every step I took to change my head gaskets. The truck is a 2000 Ford F150. Engine is 4.6L V8. At the end, you'll get to see my reaction when I started it up the first time! I claim no copyright to the song. The song's copyrights remain to whomever they belong to.
Update: The song was removed, which screwed up the syncing for the video at the end.
this is quite possibly the best step by step video on youtube lol thank you
Thank-you for taking the time out to make this slideshow and all the pics you took,greatly aporeciated
You're welcome! And mahalo for saying that
A 4.6 f150 with a manual... thats awesome! Good job!
Mahalo!
I decided to just pull the engine and put a new rear main seal in it while it was out. Once the engine was out, the heads and timing chain was so much easier to deal with. Great Video!!!
Boy I know that feeling putting all the work in something and it pays off love it keep it up
Fukn hell man that looks like a total nightmare to diy. Good job mate. Props.
Mahalo!
Thank you for this video now I can reference where all my hoses go and everything else when i put my rebuilt motor back in lol cause I completely forgot
Glad it helped!
Hell yeah man ty so much,me and my bro have the same exact engine you do and you gave us a little more confidence this project won't be such a pain in the ass lol subscribed and saved video,thanks again
Daniel M ***UPDATE***
Accidentally drilled a hole in the gas tank and stripped my transmisson. Thanks again !
Awesome man that right there is what separates the men from the boys💪😎
Dude!..........Nice job!
Great video, it helped me decide that this is way to much for me to attempt.
ooohhhhh brotha, the look and excitement of your voice priceless brotha.....it always feel that way for me when I fix my own shit...!!!!
I hope I have the same joy in the next 2 weeks here. About to embark on the same voyage.
How’d it go?
I hope it went well! I drove mine for another 2 years or so, then sold it for only $300 less than what I paid for it.
When you do this job, I strongly recommend you pull the cam caps and inspect the journals. These mod motors smear the oil feeds quickly if they ever get starved.
About to do this friday, thanks for the help man!
A lot of work on these, Good job!
Thanx!
I don't understand how this video could help anyone I don't understand this world today ..
It helps if you tell people what size different bolts are also include voice to your video
I need to find somebody to do it for a grand there's no way I can do that.... but I'll pay somebody a grand right now to do it time in Seattle.... Perfect video well done... Thanks
Im about to do one, on the 4.2 v6. Looks like everyone charges 1200-2000 for this job
Fun to watch!!!
Good work. my head gasket just went out. 5.4 off to have my mechanic fix it.
Thanks for sharing...i got to do my uncules truck tomarrow.watchine it first helps.
From the pics I can see I have a bad intake gasket and that's why I'm getting coolant at the plug. Also I see you have a manual trans, I too have a manual and I never seen another. I got a 97. Nice detailed video.
@ Caleb Welte I also have the 4.6 with the manual trans, 2001 model
me too, mine is a 2000.
nice video, id suggest for future projects (assuming you didnt do this) kill the fuel pump and crank the engine to get all the bearings nice and lubed before firing it up. if you put some effort into production you could probably have a successful channel. but who has the time for that when fixing shyt is life
I'm a little late to the show, but better late than never. I have a couple newer videos if you wanna check em out. Let me know if the production is better. Thanx!
The timing is off, not on the truck, on this video.
Yea, I didn't know I would get dinged for using copyrighted material (was a long time ago). When they removed the music, it put my voice out of sync.
Dude realizing that you were worried about it starting up at the end of this video gave me confidence to keep moving along lol. Looks like you hadn't done this before? Or at least not a lot. I'm about halfway through right now. First time doing a head gasket. Gonna finish it up tomorrow. Hopefully all goes well.
This video has been the MOST helpful so far. Seriously this video rocks. Thanks for posting!
Question for anyone that has done this before: How do you keep the camshafts from spinning out? I'm afraid I'm gonna mess up my timing.
Only did one vehicle before this... my ex-wife's Ford Taurus. That was way easier, lol. I'm glad to hear this video helped you and gave you the confidence to move forward. How do it go?
@@kermitdfrawg9408 took me forever to get that power steering pump off but other than that it went pretty smoothly! She's up and running great now! Thanks for your help my man.
Awesome! Good job bro 🤙🏼
@@cameronnpower593 for anyone reading this, the easiest way to remove the power steering pump is to go drom the bottom
There’s cam shaft clamps
Come do my truck. This thing is ruining my life lol
😆
Great video, less talk & lot information, thks!!!!!
was it getting antifreeze into the oil and smoking?
I have a 2002 ford f150 xlt v8 and I turned it on today and the head gasket blew it started leaking oil and coolant everywhere it was spitting out do you think it’s worth saving or should I scrap it?
Question - 2000 F350 5.4L 2v SuperDuty, I'm blowing the dashboard fuse over and over again. What are some common culprits? Wire insulation shortage, one of the components are bad,....? Ideas where to start? Thank you. Love the video.
Have a question to remove the fan clutch did you just remove the pulley or did you have to remove the whole thing
So does this apply for crown vics/mustangs?
Question for anyone that has done this before: How do you keep the camshafts from spinning out? I'm afraid I'm gonna mess up my timing.
Just watched another video where the guy talked about putting a cam lock on to keep it from turning
what oil do you use? engine condition is like new!
nice.
You're talking about a big job.
How many hours of labor does a head gasket job take on a 2000 F150 ?
Lots of dull people in here not understanding the title and it's sad
Did the head just have thoes long bolts?? Then it comes out
Thing almost hydrolocked 😂
you look really worried lmfao ,Before you fire it up good work
😂
Yeah right.
If i had to guess lifters had to pump up
Minute laps time… 🤣 I have a 2000 e-350 designed by the devil himself. Just found a UA-cam video that’s 7:30 hours long!!!! I guess it follows the guy working, eating, pooping, and taking a nap.
👿🤣
isn't that the manifold gasket?
5mins ? Idk about all that but nice pictures
Just did my timing chains. Valve cover gasket was torn and leaked oil. Had to do replace it. So blieve me i know the make sure it isnt bleeding fluid shit comments significance
😅it’s a pain to the buts…….from ase master tech
it aint no 5 min job.
This a 2v or 3v?
2v
Bro can you add dialogue
How long did it take you to do? Mine just went on my 2000 Expedition 5.4L.
Mine went out on a 99 E150 4.6. I put a quart of that green head casket stop leak in it. That was 2 yrs ago, still running good, no leaks
Duane Nelson what's the brand?
@@kchilz32 Miracle Snake Oil and Grand-dad's Laxative.
Mr. Shyster I did that silica stop leak a few weeks ago and so far so good. Saw it on Scotty Kilmer channel and did it how he suggested and it worked
@@kchilz32 It's just a bandaid, not a proper repair. No miracle in a bottle can repair something physically damaged.
Yeah... I'll just junk my truck and but a new one
That's how I feel right now, pretty big bummer. Was quoted about 2K between 4 local shops.. Just bought this truck 4 months ago for 4K and threw new sparkplugs, coilpacks, and front lower balljoints into it. 6K in the hole and another 2K is going to screw me over.
@@Mirrorism I did end up junking my truck, bought a 05 Yukon for $3500. And guess what after driving it for a few weeks found out it needs a front differential. That's another 1200
@@whyisthisnottyping Sometimes we can just never win. This is my first truck so far, finally saved up some cash and was able to afford one. Had a shitty 2001 Chrysler 300M that the transmission went out on. I'm a college student with close to no money, isn't a fun time. Getting the head gasket done this week and burning a hole in my wallet.
@@Mirrorism good luck hopefully nothing else comes up and you end up with a good solid truck.
Also good luck with your studies,time flies by and you'll soon graduate don't give up.
@@Mirrorism If you don't have the money for a newer truck, gotta be willing to work on it yourself. Five years ago I knew nothing about anything under the hood (or anywhere else on a vehicle for that matter), then I bought a '94 F-150. Now I've changed timing belts (on the Focus, the F-150 has a chain), throttle position sensors, ball joints, tie rods, etc... getting ready to replace a head gasket on the truck. Do it yourself and you save thousands of dollars.
🤔
All that for a dang gasket. Heck no. Just throw the truck out.
🤣
You do know this takes like hours right...
You do understand like sarcasm right?
+systemisdisturbed Obviously, lol. He literally just did it.
i thought he meant the instructional video is under 5 mins? either that or yeah its sarcasm. The video happens to be 5:31 seconds so I am betting thats what was meant. Strange wording for sure haha.
You ain't gonna change a head gasket in 5mins 😂 only with editing
lol
your audio was delayed as fuck
