People forget that the V6 was detuned to make the 4.6 V8 look better. Great video by the way!

Yeah a mild H/C/I 3.8 make more power than most cars to admit for a basic push rod v6 compared to the OHC small small v8 Love the sound of the 4.6 gt but they make hardly any power

@TezThePez 5 ай бұрын

what kind of detune

@0rvelazqu 5 ай бұрын

@TezThePez you can easily gain 40hp with a port job on the heads and intake, cam and stiffer springs. The exhaust ports on these heads are really restrictive.

Cool video man. The 1999-2004 Mustang's 3.8l v6 is such a good motor. It's large displacement for a v6 makes it quite torquey along with its high po. Aluminum cylinder heads.

Can I you please tell me how I adjust the rockerarms on a 2000 3,8 V6? I have one and I need to change the lifters but the problem is I have read through many instructions, some say you can‘t adjust them because they are hydraulic and you have to torque them down and others give instructions how to adjust them with turning the push rods and tighten the rocker friction bolts until they just make the contact. Could you please tell me what‘s the best way to do here?

Cool video - had my 99 Mustang six rebuilt at about 210,000, tried to limp home with a bandaged radiator hose - kept gauge from going to hot, but electric cooling fan had died - kept getting oil in the coolant reserve bottle intermittently - one thing I was questioning was the brand of parts - I have been told that it is best to use Ford timing chains, and saw videos of cheap chains - I had the experience with a bad rebuild on a 85 Chrysler Mistubishi engine - Action Cylinder Heads in San Diego area rebuilt this engine - had timing chain go bad after about 10000 miles - had to fight with them to cover even part of the cost of the obviously cheap timing chain used. Old timing chain wasn't noisy at 100,000 plus miles -

@RidinDirtyRollinBurnouts Жыл бұрын

Did they soak the new chain in oil?

@appleimacdude Жыл бұрын

@@RidinDirtyRollinBurnouts don't know, I was very disappointed - my regular mechanic had used this firm for years, and they always stood behind their work. If they didn't feel qualified to rebuild the difficult Mitsubishi engine, they should have said so. Instead, it had to go back because at first it was belching black smoke badly, when that did not clear up after a short time, it went back - then the timing chain got noisy at pretty low mileage - and I had to fight with them to even cover some of the cost! I told them it they had gotten some bad timing chains, then they needed to take that out of their suppliers hide - I shouldn't have to pay for it. It wasn't a cheap rebuild, and I expected a quality job. By comparison, my 99 Mustang six was rebuilt by ARCE motors, a professional rebuilder in El Cajon, and though there were some hickups at first, a quality job was the end result.

@Kozmonot420 Жыл бұрын

Awesome. My brother is giving me a 2001 convertible Mustang with the 3.8 blown. Found a used motor for $930 with 100,000 miles on it. I figure I’ll go through the used motor before installing it. I’ve never done anything like this before. Only minor repairs like water pump, starters and alternators. Going to take my time. If I can keep the total under $2000, this drivable car will be cheaper than my most expensive rc car lol.

Thank you for taking the time to make this video. I have 2 questions. If someone could help me out, id appreciate it. I just replaced the timing cover gasket, and water pump gasket on my 04, 3.9l mustang. Now i have to replace the lifters, bcuz I noticed (it sounds like) one of them is collapsed. If i replace the head gaskets, will that interfere with the timing cover? #2, the engine has over 250,000 miles on it. The head gaskets aren't leaking, but everything else, IS. Im thinking about replacing all the seals in the engine. Im worried, if i replace the head gaskets, and the heads are warped, then it might cause other issues, right?

Nice video. I have questions… You just replaced valve stem seals and lapped the valves… THATS ALL? No new springs, rockers, timing chain or tensioners? Were the pistons oversized or jot?

@MechanaholicsCreations Жыл бұрын

I replaced most the components, things like springs, pistons, and rockers can be reused within specifications. On The lower end, I did replace bearings and hoan and replace the rings in the cylinders and all the timing components, I just forgot to film it all because I was in a rush cus I was moving to another state. I might redo this video on another customers vehicle to get more in depth. If you look at one of the twin turbo f150 videos I go in great depth on everything lower end. I believe it was episode 8, look for the thumbnail of me sitting next to a block with a blue background

I'm confused. So you torque the head bolts down in 3 steps just to loosen them again? Loosen them all the way again? What good does that do?

First torque sequence is just to seat the head on the block. Then the bolts are slightly loosened and then re torqued to fully compress the headgasket and make the perfect seal. That's my guess
