Amsoil Synthetic Blend oil? Did Amsoil sell out?? @BeardedFordTech sent an oil sample to @TheMotorOilGeek and we had a video chat to go over the lab test results. ua-cam.com/video/kv-CUopdzGI/v-deo.htmlsi=jm_xEKVyef7upJw0
Let the Re assembly Commence dunuhhh Great seeing you as always Ray Good series. I do these timing systems 50 plus times a year always nice to relax and watch someone Else doing it great entertainment Ray 1:32 @Rainman Ray's Repairs
People looking at the new ones on the lot pushing 100K and they just take the old one to Ray......"When the new one is 100K, take the old one to Ray".... They will be good for another 100-200K miles after this visit... Saved this one from the crusher.
I am so glad there are technicians like you, this is a job I could do but would take me so many more hours longer than the 17+ you mentioned at the start. Plus the frustration factor would be far higher. Stay safe , have fun .
Using the silicone RVT reminds me of the times I had to rebuild a textile weaving machine. All cast iron parts, no gaskets whatsoever, and we had to use orange high temp silicone because there was no cooling other than being air cooled. Had a few other techs use the regular blue that wasn't high temp, and a few days later...oil leaks galore. Tear back down, scrape off the old, replace with the high temp, and redo what someone else SHOULD have done right in the first place. Oh, the joy...lol. Did I mention all the parts were cast iron and the size of that timing cover or even larger so weighed like a ton each times as many as 10 covers depending how far you tore it down or had to redo. All the fun and sweat. Don't miss those years. Watching you reminds me of those joyous days..LOL. Take care.
No one can say any different, as a mechanic, nothing is ever as easy as the book says, keep up the great work Ray you and your team are awesome. No one can realize how hard it must be to film it on top of actually do it. Love your work man.
I am so glad my dad sold his 5.4 Triton a week ago! I don’t have a shop but was going to take on this job of timing and cam phasers. Now I’m glad I didn’t! Great to watch though.
@@patrickhenigin4805 here it’s about a 2 day job with a $160/hr Canadian plus parts. All said and done, it’s about $3k plus. I agree though, the prices of new trucks is crazy.
@oxygen454 OK, but that's in Canadian dollars? I've had work done at a ford dealership in Regina and it cost about the same in Canadian dollars, as it would here in US dollars.
@@patrickhenigin4805 how is that possible? American dollar is worth $1.36 Canadian. So $1k American would be $1,360 plus our average wage is higher (due to cost of living) depending on where you live. We are no where close to par. I wish!
@oxygen454 ford dealer in Regina charged my about $150 C to replace the plastic pan under the engine of my Ford Cmax. I called my local dealer and they quoted me about the same number of dollars US. No brainer to get it done there. Almost all of it was parts.
Sitting the light on top of the engine at the end reminded me of something one of my bosses told me back in the '70s. He used to tune up his car by watching how steady his radio antenna was. If it vibrated too much then it needed an adjustment if it was stable then he was done. Hi-Tech.
my neighbor has an identical truck with identical problem really nice truck hell sell me for cheap i havent decided yet labor intensive it is but watching this something i can do,so i may buy the truck,and fix it
I'm kinda surprised Ray didn't put metal bodied ones in. He made a point of talking about how these fail, and they were even one of the causes of this re-build...
The cast iron ones use a ratcheting mechanism that was over tensioning the chains and causing premature chain wear. There are two types of the plastic ones, it's the first version that the gasket fails so easily, the revised ones do not.
I almost bought an SUV with the same engine. I got a GMC with 5.3. It has problems also after 150,000 miles. It has oil leaks but so far only 1QT every 3,000 miles. You do good work.
Ray, the weep hole in the water pump is for pressure relief when the sealed bearings are pressed into the housing. They are not for letting coolant to escape on a failed unit. TMYK.
WRONG! The weep hole is to tell the internal seal between the bearing and the coolant water has failed.. then the soon to fail bearing due to the oil/grease being washed out...
Looks like you guys are about to see a major hurricane to your west on Thursday Sept. 26th. Take care of yourselves. We appreciate all you do to educate and entertain.
Thanks Ray for this great treat on a Sunday. Love your sarcasm always wait to see what part of the video you fit it in. The repair is coming together. It shows us what it takes to do this repair. Thanks for another great video.
Not to tell you how to do what you have been doing for twenty years, but when I encounter the wires over the valve covers, I use plastic ties to keep them out of the way. That gives me enough room to remove and replace the valve covers without interference putting them back on. Just a suggestion.
I remember working on my first car, ‘77 thunderbird, knowing nothing, I over torqued head covers and squeezed the gaskets to mush lol. My dad laughed and laughed lol
PRE-SOAK YOUR CHAINS IN OIL BEFORE INSTALLING!!! it will make them not "dry-start/run" that causes a lot of wear before the oil slingers can oil them up.. ( just a little note from a 50yr mechanic )
Hey Ray, great video on a very time consuming job. The truck looks to be well worth your customer's expenditure on it as it is in very good condition and I'm guessing he's quite attached to it. Looking forward to the last installment when we all get to hear it spring back to life again. Cheers !
Lots of good info in this one, I have an 04 Expedition E.B. edition 4x4 5.4 Triton with 275k miles on it, got the intake manifold in last wk (leak) and may go ahead and change out the timing chains at the same time to prevent future bad word usage. 🤣
rey i used to make double sided studs for harmonic balancers that i could draw the balancers down square at which time i just changed to the original oem bolt just a thought. it does help
I remember back in the 80’s, going through a Automotive program, we learned to build an engine to last a 100,000 miles! Why? Because cars were only good for a 100,000 miles! Cars are way better built now!😊
That tray for fasteners and components ...thought Dave had some fish&chips for lunch and you said "don't that away in the trash...I can use it on this 5 3 and a half."😊
I enjoyed seeing that I know you can’t pick your work like that but if you ever get a jeep liberty 3.7 I’d love to see the time and chains replaced on it
Following bc I have same truck engine and miles. RR this series is fantastic. My only question would be thrust bearing/washer….worth a look while in there? Thank for great vids.
Just so you're aware, on the Flat 6 and flat 4 aircraft engines where the entire crankcase comes apart in two pieces. The way you seal that surface between those two is with a single strand of silk thread. That's all they use to seal that surface from leaking oil
I have a similar job coming up. 3.5 Ecoboost in a Flex. The fun one with an INTERNAL water pump! The very first thing I will look at once the covers and intake are off will be the valves. Will be interesting to see how much gunk built up over 185K miles of DI.
Does ford still use the same cam tools as they did on the old modular engines ? Had to buy them for my dads 6.8 v10 motor home. Granted those engines didn’t have adjustable valve timing.
I have stooped as low as to use a few dabs of 3M super weatherstrip adhesive to keep the gasket in place while I wrestled the harness and valve cover. Yes, I still checked with a morror after finishing.

They made it for quick lube places as it's cheaper, those places car owners care more about cheapness over quality.
@@Boodieman72Thats what I thought as well, smart business plan IMO. The quality is suburb as per initial testing.
Superb or subpar?😅
@@RainmanRaysRepairs I would run OE or Signature Series for cars that take it unlike mine that I use 0W-30 European Oil from Amsoil.
Amsoil ATF has really smoothed out my 6f35 shifts. Love Amsoil products..
Going back together pretty smooth Ray 31:42 @Rainman Ray's Repairs
A bunch of young Engineers were probably proud of this mess. I am a retired Engineer. Old school. Keep it simple.

This is a special Sunday treat! Thanks Rainman
I’ve never been this early to Rays videos. I’ve enjoyed this journey so far and can’t wait for the successful conclusion. Great work Ray!!
It amazes me how you can do all of this one handed
Let the Re assembly Commence dunuhhh Great seeing you as always Ray Good series. I do these timing systems 50 plus times a year always nice to relax and watch someone Else doing it great entertainment Ray 1:32 @Rainman Ray's Repairs
Usually wait until Monday to watch Ray... Can't wait on this one! Gotta watch today!!! Thanks Ray, Lauren, Dave and Justin!
Nice this has been an educational series so far. thanks
Ikr? My #1 lesson learned: never buy a Triton.
I'm talking about doing the work itself.@@LumpyFPV

Hurricanes are 4-0 .
Good sermon this am.
Didnt get zinged one time.
Now lunch and a Raymond video.
I’m a blessed man.
I am a mechanic and I must say, you are an artist my friend 😅
I am so glad there are technicians like you, this is a job I could do but would take me so many more hours longer than the 17+ you mentioned at the start. Plus the frustration factor would be far higher. Stay safe , have fun .
This may be my favorite series so far! Thank you Ray 🍻
Pretty straightforward reassembly, no special tools required other than patience.
Always amazed at how quickly things go back on v.s. taking them off.
Love a Ray Video on a Sunday Afternoon! Thank you my friend! Great job as always!
thank you Ray. I learned much from this multipart presentation.
Another great series Ray, keep them coming.

Due to all of the timing system work that you did Ray, I would definitely recommend new spark plugs. It just makes sense sir.😊
And this is why I love my old 300 straight 6!
Yea screw that pos week ass motor
This is a pleasant surprise. Ray on Sunday cool. Best to you and the family.
Looks like the owner did a good job with oil changes. That engine looks really clean.
And yet here we are, at 200k with some major issues.
@@hokie9910 And yet, it's an inherent problem with this engine regardless of maintenance.
@@21Piloteer That was my point.
Time for Part 4 of the owner feeling the 🔱of Triton.
The condition of the seats in that truck drives my bananas!!!

I'd rather spend $1,500 to have this done than $7500 for a new engine. A new truck is out of the question.

I would only use cast iron body tensioners on the 3 valve Triton. The plastic ones wear and crack and leak, I learned the hard way. Great video!

Ray, the weep hole in the water pump is for pressure relief when the sealed bearings are pressed into the housing. They are not for letting coolant to escape on a failed unit. TMYK.
They may not be for letting coolant out through a failed bearing but they certainly do
WRONG,, they are to tell you if the seal has failed.. thus letting oil/grease to be washed away and soon to follow bearing failure...
WRONG! The weep hole is to tell the internal seal between the bearing and the coolant water has failed.. then the soon to fail bearing due to the oil/grease being washed out...
The weep hole is for weeping. And they do weep. Especially on Honda and Toyota.
Weep hole tells you your bearings are now being lubricated by coolant. Haha
I did this exact job on our 2005 Expedition over a weekend in my driveway. Never again.... Haha... Love your channel and content Ray!

Awesome job man awesome job!!
Rock on...! With no Nascar today, perfect timing...!

huge undertaking. Thanks Ray. Fun to watch.

Thank you Ray. Enjoyed watching
PRE-SOAK YOUR CHAINS IN OIL BEFORE INSTALLING!!! it will make them not "dry-start/run" that causes a lot of wear before the oil slingers can oil them up.. ( just a little note from a 50yr mechanic )
1st thing I was taught. Soakem and pistons 2. And always pre lube oil pump. And no dry starts
No need in soaking spray oil on them after installed no issue
Yup the dot sprocket and the dark link are correctly aligned.👍👍😎😎
Love this project!
Hey Ray, even if you go back to flippin burgers, I'll still watch, love me some burgers....
Hello Ray and happy Sunday.
Hey Ray, great video on a very time consuming job. The truck looks to be well worth your customer's expenditure on it as it is in very good condition and I'm guessing he's quite attached to it. Looking forward to the last installment when we all get to hear it spring back to life again. Cheers !
Looks like the next storm is going to head your way. Good luck buddy.
Thanks for all the great lighting Ray best on utube man 🌞🌝
But on a positive note I love your videos and how you explain everything
Just self detonated one of these (2005) coonts at 438'000kms. currently have a shop swapping in a 2007 with 285'000kms. im scurred now lol
Thanks for another great series of videos. Tony (UK)
Great Job And Great Video. Nice to learn stuff like this.
I liked the water pump 'gravity effect' 😁
it was great! cos u caught the gasket before buttoning down the head cover
Lots of good info in this one, I have an 04 Expedition E.B. edition 4x4 5.4 Triton with 275k miles on it, got the intake manifold in last wk (leak) and may go ahead and change out the timing chains at the same time to prevent future bad word usage. 🤣
Woo Hoo, I thought there wasn't going to be a video today which is Sunday 9-22-24! My day just got 100% better. Thank you triple R for the upload!! 😊
Best video by far!! Only i would have had a box full of bolts left over!!😃😃
Really enjoying the series Ray.... Superb!!!!!
Hey Ray keep up the good work I’m from Maine I came down last year to do a meet and greet plus took a picture with you
The sad part? When you finish all this work, it's still a Triton engine!
Another enjoyable video and the engine will live again.
rey i used to make double sided studs for harmonic balancers that i could draw the balancers down square at which time i just changed to the original oem bolt just a thought. it does help

59:05 Awesome video ray I knew it'd be 5 videos that's a big job can't wait to hear it come alive
Reeeee....one valve cover gasket is orange and one is blue.... it'll never run properly 😂😂😂
It doesn’t know if it’s a ford or Chevy!😂😂
It's doomed
You should use some bungees to hold the harness and tubes out of the way when putting the valve covers back on.
Nicely done Ray !
Its blue, so you know its good!
So much work ,nice job
Thank you.
Great video and series as always Ray 58:48 @Rainman Ray's Repairs
Tensioners loose always makes me smile.
Well good afternoon to you Ray ☀️ now let's get into part 4😂😂😂
That tray for fasteners and components ...thought Dave had some fish&chips for lunch and you said "don't that away in the trash...I can use it on this 5 3 and a half."😊
I appreciate these videos
Take care hurricane heading your way 😮
It was ironic that I was doing situps while you said putting on a valve cover was an ab workout!
I enjoyed seeing that I know you can’t pick your work like that but if you ever get a jeep liberty 3.7 I’d love to see the time and chains replaced on it
Ready to Rock and Roll 3 times in 36 minutes.
Was there a big thin washer missing on the crank shaft?
Following bc I have same truck engine and miles.
RR this series is fantastic. My only question would be thrust bearing/washer….worth a look while in there? Thank for great vids.
Use a water soluble lubricant for the water pump O-ring? K-Y Jelly perhaps?
New chain is...shiny!
Where is the Oil? Should be Soaked in it overnight. Right
Just so you're aware, on the Flat 6 and flat 4 aircraft engines where the entire crankcase comes apart in two pieces. The way you seal that surface between those two is with a single strand of silk thread. That's all they use to seal that surface from leaking oil
Welcoming back!
Put a bit of tape on the wobbele socket, works great less wobbely
Sunday treat by Ray...
I need this done on my truck!!
It wont have horrendous noise on startup if you prime the oil 1st right?
Those super scrapers on your site I may need one
I have a similar job coming up. 3.5 Ecoboost in a Flex. The fun one with an INTERNAL water pump! The very first thing I will look at once the covers and intake are off will be the valves. Will be interesting to see how much gunk built up over 185K miles of DI.

Good job there - but next time you blow off the surface clean the surface Then put down your sealant - that way you don't contaminate the sealant.
Sorta interested how many of Ray's magnetic flashlights have traveled out of the state of Florida??🤔😁
