Ford should have just left well enough alone, the original OHV 4.0 was a good engine and was fairly reliable, no clue why they would turn it into this monstrosity.

@406Steven 5 жыл бұрын

They needed an engine with more power and more torque than the OHV engine but didn't want to spend the money to develop a new engine so they slapped a new set of heads on an old engine and called it a day. Why they went with a jackshaft and a rear timing cassette vs running it all off the front of the engine I doubt I will ever know. These engines sure run smooth and made good power and torque for their day but you've got to watch out for their timing system and that plastic thermostat housing.

@joecostantino3684 5 жыл бұрын

Probably because running it all off the front like the Duratec Engine would have required a new block design and they were too cheap to do that at the time. They could have just gone with the 4.2 like they had for the V6 option on the F150. I see more Explorers and even some Rangers in the Junk Yard with these SOHC 4.0's people just didn't wanna fix em or couldn't.

Make sure you use the OEM Motorcraft parts, I cheaped out with a Cloyes kit and had a timing chain rattle while cold about 30k miles later and sold the truck rather than possibly deal with having to do this all over again. Maybe I could've gotten away with just new tensioners but it wasn't worth the worry. Another note: Use the Motorcraft oil filters on these engines. They're so cheap and easy to find and the anti-drain-back valve makes sure that the tensioners and rockers get oil pressure ASAP on startup. A $3 oil filter can hold off this issue a little longer as well as reduce the odds that your engine develops the typical 4.0 tick.

Wow! Thank you for your 4 part series on timing a 4.0 SOHC. I've been searching everything out there and there are many decent clips to put together none are as good as your part 1 and 2. I thought I had mine timed, I rotated it clockwise a few turns and it got real hard to keep rotating. I should have backed it off and undid all my work and began again. Instead, I forced it to rotate and I broke the rear jackshaft gear in three pieces. That I found out after hours of investigation. I didn't know if I had a piston or rod binding somewhere, maybe there were still large pieces of nylon chain guide somewhere out of sight. I was able to see I had the wrong gear installed to replace the broken rear j shaft gear. So please get part 3 uploaded. I really could use the info. I am ready to test by rotating again, I'm stalling. Thank you for your detailed work. This DIY-er sincerely apprecieates it.

Just for fun I bought a 2X4 4.0 ranger 5 spd, just to find out what it was like. Hot Rod! Only 75,000 miles and now rattling on cold start up. I was concerned that it needed timing done, but, after exploring these various videos on the subject, realized that only the tensioners needed replacing. Ford says replace them every 70,000, or face destruction. -- The engine feels great but is a gas pig even with oversize tires and driving it like a baby. I would never buy one of these with high miles! -- I have been using the flood start method: push gas peddle to floor and crank for about 4 seconds to build oil pressure before releasing. No more cold start rattle. AS soon I as I get over this COVID, I will change out the tensioners. Thank U covid for giving me the time to cruise the internet streets. -- If U have death rattle besides the cold start up...>> decide if U want to spend the $$$ and take the risks of the job failing....lots of bad mechanics out there looking to gain experience at YOUR cost! this is definitely an area for EXPERIENCE! --- If U decide to repair, do NOT buy aftermarket chinese parts. Get genuine FORD parts!! Lots of fake parts out there: Rock Auto is NOT your friend. Penny wise pound foolish applies.

What in the hell did they really gain with all of this engineering, definitely wasn't keeping cost down, that engine has at least a dozen extra parts than necessary for basic engine operation. Fuel economy? How much is wasted dragging along all of the extra components? Plus the amount of work to service this nightmare! If this thing got 40mpg and made 300hp it would be worth all of the insanity inside. So glad I'm a GM guy, i'll slap a set of intake gaskets and ignition components on an old Vortec 4.3 in an afternoon and be good for another 100k. Thank you for making these videos, I'm a GM mechanic, i rarely work on Fords, but this stuff is interesting and oddly satisfying to watch for some reason, i guess its the insanely over-complicated re-invention of the wheel, I also like the Powerstroke Help guy too, Why do people keep buying those things?

In the middle of a major tune-up this week--rough idle for a week. Has over 239,000 miles (1994 Ranger 4x4, 4.0L, V6 XL, 5-speed). Mainly a `Do-it-yourself guy' with the Ranger since buying it in 1995. Have had more issues with the Clutch (slave cylinder) over the years than the engine. Now that the truck is 27 yrs old, I'm not certain if it is worth an over-haul/rebuild at this time. Electric Wires and vacuum hoses are showing wear and the engine mounts are deteriorating. Still has the original water pump, radiator, and AC system. Almost everything else has been replaced--except for the internal parts (like the timing chain, etc). I wonder how long it will last.

What it the world is that Cologne V6! To imagine that next to the modular V8, which is simplistic and well built vs. The v6 which has the cam sprocket on opposite sides!

If might be important to mention, if the average person doesnt face a dampener puller its easiest to get a master set loaner from advance auto parts. It has the steel pins you used on the video to press off of the crank

Do you have to remove camshafts or can you just leave them since you took of the gear? Interference engine right? I used to work at local Ford dealership as a tech for ten years and we have never done this repair because it was too costly and timely for customers.

What a pain in the ass. All of this to do a timing job. Damn engineers.

Leave it to the Germans. That is a German made engine. Some Audis have rear timing too.

Something something planned obsolescence. If you make it a big enough pain in the ass to work on or extraordinarily expensive to work on people will be more inclined to junk it and buy a new one. I'm positive this is their exact thought process when they draw up this stuff.

Floor-It-Duh I agree. Most people would just junk this. A lot of work for an old vehicle. Still cheaper than a new truck but still....🤔

@alb12345672 5 жыл бұрын

Exactly, a very tough call to fix or replace. Just go to the local junkyard, that says it all. The OHV prior that it replaced was made so the average joe can work on it with some cheap tools. It cracks heads sometimes at high mileage but is a very easy (relatively ) job for a saturday. Apple products are the same way, they want it to work until they release the next model.

Floor-it-Duh As many of them as I see in the Junk Yards i'm inclined to agree on that. Shops charge a small fortune to do these jobs, and unless you have the equipment, skillset, and patience to work on these engines they just aren't worth fixing.

Did this engine jump time? I have the same exact engine and coming home today and started rattling around $2,000 RPMs. In the morning when I started it it cranked over weird and blew a bunch of blue smoke out the tailpipe now it has a miss. What are my chances of just swapping out the timing components or do I have some internal damage to? Thank you

Gees, I'm glad I have a 2006 Nissan Frontier 4.0 V6 truck! I replaced the 3 chains, guides, tensioners, water pump, back case cover etc, but mine was LOTS easier than this engine! Like others said, it's time for a reman engine if you're going this far!

Thank you for all your videos. I have a 2011 Ranger 4x4 bought it at 165,000 (was a city vehicle so probably maintained) and now at 205,00. How often could you recommend changing the Plungers. Thank you.

I purchased a leak down tester to test if my heads are good with no bent valves . it came with a 13mm adapter will this work with my 4.0 2008 engine? If I bought a core engine, would like to test if I have to take the heads off by doing a leak down test. or should i just do a vacuum leak test with vacuum tester ?

Any advice on figuring out window issue?. I have a 99 f250 super duty diesel, extended cab. The pas side window rolls down but not up. The driver side switch does nothing. Ive checked power to and from the switch, motor. Replaced the switch and motor. No go. I can hear the motor go down but not up. Any advice would be very helpful!

Learned a lot, thank you. Doing a rebuild soon. Fortunately I'll be doing EGR delete and installing a supercharger @9.5lbs.....including headers. Will buy a new ARP stud kit for the headers. Miss my G54...sooo much easier to work on, even with the balance shafts. Edit: Have a 1/2" Drive impact..should I add a 3/8" or 1/4"....hard to tell from the video. Otherwise? I'll buy both (ouch).
