THIS is how a repair video should be filmed. Excellent information, perfect pace. I have to do this same job, but my truck is vastly more complicated due to the addition of an Edelbrock supercharger. Sigh. There goes my vacation!
I will be starting this same job on a 2003 Expo 5.4 for a right head that is leaking coolant but I will pulling both heads off for a complete check and repair. I'm trying to get myself in the mood to getting started. LOL....... great job on your video.
Great video👍 im at the point where all i have left is valve covers , crank pully and timing cover. I have new headers instead and hopefully should toss code . I just wanna add that the Dorman aftermarket intake manifold robs power. The stock ford one is actually an easy fix if isn’t cracked too bad where the coolant cross unit connect . I disassembled the intake and cleaned up and put a high temp rtv in the lil crack, reassembled and let it fully cure . Zero issues . I had the Dorman and switched back to the stock one and noticed the difference in power🤘
I have been working as a mechanic for 10 years, usually I work on Japanese cars, but in this video I got a very great experience about American cars, now I think it's very easy for me, I want more videos, thanks
I wish you would have shown us the installation of the camshaft and the rockers before installing the heads on the engine and how to valve lab>> thank you
Just a tip: If you send these heads to a shop to get clean, make sure the freeze plugs are still in. I just found out what a freeze plug is. This is not how I wanted to find out what a freeze plug is.
Epic video here man! Well done on your work! I know you must've sworn on that thing for a couple of days while working on it, but you succeeded! I noticed some bubbling in my heater core, it has been doing it for awhile now, but the radiator fluid lvl doesn't seem to have changed, so I'm guessing it's just air pockets that need to be released. If my gasket is bad, then I will for sure keep this video in mind if I take on this challenge of a job!
I took my 2002 Ford F150 5.4 L V8 to the shop with a blown plug in cylinder seven for the second time. They didn’t feel comfortable changing it so they said they would change the Motor. I told him that was ridiculous. I just wanted the head replaced what’s wrong with mechanics these days! It’s hard to find a good mechanic these days!!
With replacing the head gasket...I would replace any parts that was taken off that could be replaced. Especially if it was never done or needs to be done. E.g., water belt, fan belt, thermostat, pulleys, tensioners, etc.
Thank you for your time and obviously the care you took to do this vid. I'm going to tackle this monster some time in the next few weeks. Been down for a few months. Thanks again for the effort you put into this ........
I removed the heads a couple weeks ago. Getting ready to put in the new ones. Notice rust in cylinder walls from sitting Any suggestions on how to clean that up before installing the new heads
Thanks for the video. I have a 2000 F-150 5.4L 3 valve triton. And I spun a bearing and need the crankshaft. From what year to what year can I buy one that it’s exactly the same? And is the 4.6L be the same crankshaft? Thank you in advance. 🚙👍🏽
I got the timing bolts out of the timing cover in the front of the engine do you have to drain the oil before you loosen the bottom ones that bolt to the cover
I like your how to videos. Always complete and the availability of the needed parts never hurts. I will be replacing the heads within the next 2 weeks. Thank you!
Sneaky torque sneaky torque. Worse than transmission bolts. Great job. If I had a little more extra money I would change injectors same brand as OEM. AS a DIY person don't want to go in there again. One big bill and never again. Appreciate all your tips. That's a job and a half.
IF you like standing on your head and turning wrenches doing head gaskets on 5.4 3 valve jump to it. Much easier to just PULL out . These viedeos don't tell the whole story.
when humanity moves toward electric vehicles. this complicated stuff will be a bad dream. it's a problem to do with planetary drought, high levels of CO2, deforestation, lower oxygen levels. and an unwilling public to embrace the necessary change. and btw, that's going to have to be sodium ion, not lithium ion batteries. people need to listen.

Is there a video on a 2010 5.4 24v engine?
Hi I'm working on f150 head how to know the torque they suppose to be ?
How many hours did it take you to complete this job??
So awesome ty
Will this be the same for a 2010 f150 with the 5.4 3v?
Looks like yall have been watching the car care nut recently, he did a similar length video!
Do u have to drain the oil ??
nice video What is the price of a job like that?

How do u put the pulleys back
Never underestimate my abilities to put a torque wrench anywhere. I got the throttle body @ 7.4lbs.
+Endofz33world Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Where did you get kit?
Did you forget to put the idler pulley on the driver side or something? Because that belt diagram n stuff doesn’t look right??
Timing 10:05
Can you do one on a 2012 ford transit connect xl 4cyl
+Fly Ink Mack We do not have a video for this repair right now, but we'll keep this request in mind for a future video! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c

Torque wrench sketchy
Good video. Watching this makes me so not want to own a ford.
I mean would be a good way to learn but totally ridiculous horribly design
All that work for a fkn head gasket
Love this vid! Shit ton of jibberish but still great amount of nonsense.
April fools! You bought a Triton! 😂
No liquid thread seal on the bolts going past water journals smh trash mechanic
