Just an additional little tip I have found when changing a GM oil pump and it would apply to the Ford as well. Loosen the oil pick up tube bolts to where about 5 threads are showing. Loop and twist a piece of safety wire around the bolts and twist until semi tight. This will reduce the likelihood of the bolts falling down into the oil pan, or if they do, you can pull them right out and not have to drop the oil pan.

@rayt8531 2 жыл бұрын

Just wanted to say thanks for the great tutorial. One tip I have for others having a hard time with the rear bolt is to take two minutes to make a wrench out of a thin piece of sheet metal. Use tin snips to cut a metal strip 3/4" wide by 6" long then lay the open end of an 8mm wrench at the top 3/4" side to trace and cut the 8mm opening. Now you have a very thin flexible wrench that you can use to overcome the steep angle of the rear bolt during its initial installation. As you insert this flexible wrench you can use the same finger you are using to hold the rear bolt in place to guide it. I fought with this rear bolt for over 2 hours before trying the above and then was able to install the rear bolt in literally minutes.

@tns4 Жыл бұрын

A year later and this gem of advice saved me likely hours of frustration. I made the wrench like you said but I also made a “wing nut” to slide onto the screw head to help with getting it started. I cut a very thin strip (barely wider than the screw head itself is tall) by maybe an inch and a half long. Folded it tight into thirds, think like a paper clip not a Z. Then jammed a screwdriver in the middle and twisted until it opened up enough to fit tightly over the screw head. Kinda looked like this when it was done . Made it easier to start the threads and turn the screw with one finger. Pulled right off then the flexible wrench did the rest. A heartfelt thank you 🍺

FordTechMakuloco, I'm finally changing out all of the timing components at 366K miles. Had slap at startup and some light ticking noises. Found broken guide on left side and one bad lash adjuster and two rough followers. Engine never had a wrench on it except for mine. Did change plugs twice myself with no problems. And regular oil changes every 5K miles with non-synthetic 5-30W since 10K, might be why it has lasted. Tip for installing the Melling 360 that I can offer...put a rag under the front to catch the bolt when it gets dropped around 10 times trying to put the back one in! What worked for me was using a long tie wrap around the bolt while starting the threads, it offers some resistance while threading it with the flex head gear wrench. Great videos by the way. BTW, I must have lucked out because I'm not really having most of the problems with the 3V that others experience.

I just used my ratcheting 8mm wrench to fish the lower pickup tube bolt into the hole. Had to fiddle and make several attempts but eventually I got it to stay in the hole and was able to start threading it with my fingers, then the wrench. No special tricks to it, took about 15 minutes; patients is key. Also if anyone is just replacing the oil pump gears like me, I had some trouble getting the gear in the pump to line up with the crankshaft notches. So I took my old gear, put it over the crankshaft and marked it at the 12'oclock, then took it off and used to it align the gear in the pump. A little bit of wiggle and it slid right on.

Its a 2 wheel drive car and now the only problem is that the 1st gear clutch in the 4R75WE is almost gone at 140k miles. That seams odd since we dont tow anything heavy or thrash the car.

@brendanvogele2531 7 жыл бұрын

One quick tip for those who have big paws like me. I was fighting this all day until I decided to use a hemostat to hold the inboard pickup bolt and thread it into the hole. Don't clamp the bolt until the hemostat locks, just gently hold it just below the head of the bolt and then snake the bolt in the hole. Once in the hole, just use one finger to push on the head of the bolt to get it to start meshing into the threads, and with continuous pressure from ones finger on the head of the bolt, gently release the bolt with the hemostat and reposition it after each counterclockwise turn (as viewed from above, since the bolt is inverted). This will tighten the bolt until one gets to the last few turns. By this time the gentle grip by the hemostat starts to slip, which means a swivel ratchet as suggested in this video will now have enough resistance to start clicking and finish the job. Hope this helps someone.

I know that there are a ton of helpful comments here but I thought I would add to this awesome volume of helpful info. 1st, yes those two bolts for the pickup tube will be a pain in the butt, just face the reality now and continue on. Make sure you have a flippy/swivel open ended wrench and you should be ok. I found that the lower harder to get at one almost wanted to cross thread on me so I had to make sure the other bolt was loose enough to allow movement of the pick up tube. 2nd, Priming the pump. This is where I struggled. I left the crank sensor unplugged and did the running with the starter only thing and never got any oil pressure. I even removed the oil filter to see if any oil had made to that and it did not. I found a very short video that was put out by Melling on just this problem. They advised to prefill the oil filter and also to use what ever means to push oil into the lower squarish hole where the oil filter mounts to. You pump, squeeze, shove whatever you can do to force oil back into this opening. what you are doing is pushing oil back into the oil pump. Once I did this it only took another 5-10 seconds of turning the engine with the starter to get oil pressure. I was questioning everything that I did when I was not getting oil pressure. I was fearing that I was going to have to tear back into the engine again. Verify each step while doing the job and trust the method of priming. You will be fine.

@bennettwallace6004 Жыл бұрын

After fighting with that inside bolt for about a couple hours I called the wife thinking with her having smaller fingers she'd be able to get the bolt started. But like me, she was having difficulty getting it to catch on the 1st couple of threads. So being the out of box thinker that she is, she went to my son's room and got his 3" squishy ball and inserted that under the bolt hole, got the bolt in, and then I was able to rotate and get the bolt started. After that, I kept the ball in place while tightening it down with the 8mm flex head. As for set up, we stuff a bath or kitchen hand towel down into the front of the oil pan, up against some other internal pan structure. We let some of the towel hang out on the right hand side so it could be pulled out later. The purpose for the towel was to give the ball something to butt up against and so it would stay in place and of course, not allow it to fall or get stuck in the pan. After all said down, I pulled out the ball, the towel, and then double checked and cleared out any remaining debris with said towel. Worked like a charm! If there was a way, I'd upload a pic of the setup. Hopefully this will help out the next person.

First timing job took me like 45 minutes to get that right oil pickup screw in. One of the hardest bolts ever. Second timing job on another 5.4 only took 10 minutes. One difference was the flex head wrench I used the first time was too loose. This time I use a wrench with a stiffer hinge. Was able to hold the bold in place netter. And of course the cat claw is necessary too. After I got it started, I moved the catcall to the other side of the wrench and finished it off.

They cannot get too tight. The chain controls how much slack is there.

Really good video boss!! I got a quick question. I just got my 03 ford expedition Eddie Bauer. With the 5.4 engine from the shop. I took it because apparently my mechanic told me that the oil pump was out. He replaced the oil pump but my low oil/hi temp light is still turning on. And the oil psi drops to 0 when at idle. And idea why?

@coyotemancowboy4713 5 жыл бұрын

After watching your vid, I pulled the oil pump on my truck to replace it with the 360. My stock oil pump had a complete blockage in one of the oil passages. Is this something you've seen before? I change oil regularly. The truck has 150k miles on it, and was running fine, but I decided to tear into it before I began having issues. I also found the gaskets on each chain tensioner were in the process of failing. Your vids saved me an engine.

Normal for the 5.4 3v. I love my Fords but you cannot ignore the fact that the 5.4 3v has some serious design flaws. One is the head design,it accumulates sludge and eventually circulates it. One reason why I tell people do not run engine cleaner through that engine. Youll circulate the sludge even more. You have to physically remove the valve covers and do it by hand.

@DDescalchuk57 4 жыл бұрын

The 5.4 does have its problems but I’ll tell you what it’s got no where near the issues that the 4.7 Chrysler motor does lol. How about the fact that rain water collects under the intake manifold in the valley rots the dipstick tube and then fills the oil full of water. That’s a pretty neat trick. People these days don’t take care of their stuff they don’t do regular maintenance I only know that cause I just finished pulling one out of a Durango that had the main bearings spun cause there was more water then oil it proceeded to take out all the lifters and the rod bearings just an absolute joy

These Fords don't actually have an oil PRESSURE gauge, instead Ford came up with a wierd switch system. If the pressure reaches a point that Ford thinks is sufficient, the switch closes and the dashboard indicator moves. The sending unit (switch) is located just behind the oil filter. You can remove the sender, replace it with a "T" and put it back on the end of the "T". The side port can be used to run a line up to a real oil pressure gauge on your dashboard.

If any chain guides have broken. You want to remove the pan for sure even if you could remove any debris most all of it will be stuck into the pickup screen. If your doing the job as preventive maintenance then ya you can just swap out the pump. Pans are easy to remove even for the 4wd models.

@@richardwilson117 it's not that hard. Maby if you live in the rust belt it might be but you still got to do it or you won't have enough oil pressure to run the phasers and if your oil filter gets plugged and goes into bypass mode then those pieces can plug the passage in the head that provides the oil. Do it right or buy a engine.

Invaluable information!!! I was an Engine Builder after being a Ford Line Tech (retired 9 years ago)... A couple of questions, if you can help. Now I haven't worked at a Ford Dealer, since the first 4.6 Mods were being put in Crown Vics and T-Birds... And for the first 18 months of THAT, ANY issues with the 4.6 - and we could only pop the Engine out, and ship it back to Ford!! So my Dealer experience with them is limited... (Just to qualify myself) This High Pressure Oil Pump... Would it be the same for the 4.6 3V? Including the over EASY R&R?? 😎 That was amazing! Also, I'm restoring a 98 Mustang GT. Would that same procedure work on the 2V as well? That is such a lifesaver for this Old Fart! 😋 Third... I was TOLD (and you know how THAT goes!), that on the Modular Cam Journals, if they're beyond clearances.... You could CAREFULLY SAND the Journal faces, rechecking clearances with Plastigauge. 😲 I do know Engines... But that one sounds a bit incredible! I'm figuring that you're the Man to ask. Thank you!

2 Things I would like to point out is: 1 An it never hurts to put an anaerobic sealer on the oil passage mating surface. And 2, If the guides have come apart, more often then not, pieces end up in the bottom of the oil pan and can get sucked up into the pickup. That being said, I get the commission benefits of not taking off the oil pan, however comebacks are a killer.

Hey Brian, Thank you for all the great information! I took my 09 f150 with 100k miles to the shop and as I expected it needs the whole timing kit / oil pump, vct fix. I was thinking of doing the repairs myself, but I'm realizing that I just won't have the time for such an involved project right now. How can I convince a shop to use the upgraded oil pump rather than replacing it with the same pump that isn't designed well. Most of the mechanics I've talked to will only order parts from the dealer and will not use anthing else. Does Ford make an upgraded pump like the Melling they could order instead of the existing replacement? I really don't want to have to pay for the same repair again. I know it costs more to have a professional do it, but I also want the best parts for a lasting fix. Any advice on how to talk to the mechanics would be great!

+joshg678 I have a 98 2v 5.4 with 247,000+ miles with the original pump. Still using 5w30. I was told to keep using the same weight oil because of the tolerances of something. Cant remember exactly what it was. But my truck isn't quiet lol. Leaking valve stem seals too. A friend told me to switch to a heavier weight oil to stop the blue smoke. It doesn't smoke all the time. Only at start up and only once in a while. It burns about a quart of oil every 2000 miles or so.

@DementedButtHole 8 жыл бұрын

That's a very subjective question. If a manufacturer shifts from 5w30 to 5w20, that only means your motor won't start burning oil. That said, no two 5w20 or 5w30 are the same either. Almost every oil from almost every manufacturer has a wear testing spec listed online. Wear testing spec is listed in PSI of vertical force exerted on two rotating bodies being lubricated by the oil in question (in presence of a temperature gradient). So, if the motor doesnt burn 5w20 oil, and you selected a kind of 5w20 oil that has a wear spec similar to the 5w30 oil you were using before--then you didn't lose anything. Google "RAT 540 engineering data" to find out wear spec for most popular motor oils in the market :)

Used a 14" zip tie around the bolt to get it off and back on. You can use the tag end of the tie to firmly hold, position and align the bolts as well as put a small side load on them to ratchet them off and back on with the swivel head. Once you've ratcheted the bolts on far enough, you simply cut off the zip tie. There's no way to lose them in the oil pan either.
