He has long since retired but I still work on my own stuff every now and then. Man have things changed.

This video is bittersweet. It's so so sweet because it's so well thought-out, explained and super helpful. This guy is truly a master at his craft. The bitter part is I just barely started working on vehicles at 40s, and I LOVE it, just upset with myself that I didn't start way WAY earlier so I can at least be half as good as this guy. And that's a ton of missed years I could have spent actually doing something I love. Either way, cheers, and thanks a ton for the help.

I just finished replacing 5.4 2v in my 97 f150 4x4. After 400k miles the radiator popped a drain valve and I blew the head gaskets before I found a safe place to pull over. Ford wanted 3800 for head gasket, radiator repair and 7800 for reman engine. I replaced it myself with an ATK long block($2400), new radiator, all new sensors, plugs, alternator, pulleys, belt, Egr tube, injectors, hoses, motor mounts, etc for $4K. (Dealer would have just swapped old components to new engine.)Florida truck with no rust. Went similar to your procedure but I did not disconnect drive shafts and I unbolted motor mounts from block. I took off inner fenders for more access. Difficulty with some of Bell housing bolts had to use 34 inch wobble extension beside exhaust tunnels. O2 sensor connections were tough. In the end, no leaks, no drips, no error codes/CEL light and it runs great. A piece of 1/8 inch door skin in front to protect my a/c condenser would work for radiator in your case.

If your going to plan on removing a engine I suggest that you 1. Take a picture of stuff your working on so when you have to put it back together, you can see how it's supposed to be. 2. Get sandwich bags and label the bolts,screws, and nuts accordingly. 3 Don't get frustrated and don't give up if you do get frustrated. You will learn so much about your car.

I can remember the first engine I did on a Nissan 350z I dropped the cradle out the bottom and still beat book time. Number one thing to take away from this is double and triple check as your going up nothing is hung up or still attached. If your dropping the cradle out take it slow. Go about 3 inches stop take a good look around and keep doing this until your about at the second lock and then send it up. I've seen too many times sensors, e brake cables, ac compressors still hooked up and ripped off due to negligence. Take your time if you've made it that far now is not the time to rush getting the engine out. Great video Bryan

Brian is the real deal in the fall of 2016 right around this time I had drove an hour and half with my 2007 f150 super crew 4x4 5.4 3v with 105k to leave with him for diagnosis as to all the ticking and clanking noises he told me a rebuild was needed for all the timing components that were shot due to low oil pressure another option was to go with a remanufactured 5.4 3v from Ford with a 3 yr unlimited mile warranty. I procrastinated at the time hoping to make it until spring of 2017 but the motor just died the eve of that Thanksgiving. By then Brian was in process of switching shops so needless to say I had to have the job done closer to where I live. I paid more but it needed to be done. A new 5.4 3v with warranty was installed and now has 25 k on it and the warranty expires in December. I trust Brian and his opinions. I even drive an hour and a half to have my old 98 explorer work car serviced by him. Brian has given tips as to change the oil pump to a better performance type and o will schedule it with him once the warranty expires. The motor has a few months warranty left on it and I've changed oil religiously every 3,000 miles since it's December 2016 install with Ford's 5w 20 synthetic blend oil. The motor runs excellent so far but I'm not holding my breath. Actually the imrc had to be replaced this past may it was from the original motor and just last week I had a code for p0351 come up with check engine light and a little flutter on acceleration cylinder #1 had a bad coil pack had it replaced . It was the original coil pack and I probably should had them all changed but we're not sure how long were keeping the truck. I change the oil myself every time but once warranty ends I'll be leaving it with Brian for service HE'S THE MAN!!

Thank you for posting all your 5.4 3V engine videos. I know this video is a couple of years old and it was vastly helpful in pulling my 2010 F-150 5.4 3V engine getting it ready for an engine replacement. Following along with many of your videos including this one, I did some research and purchased a re-manufactured engine from Powertrain Products similar to the one you mentioned in this video. The engine looks reasonably rebuilt and is clean and many components appear to be new. However, some of the components used are not Ford parts, with many Dorman parts being used. One item that stands out so far are the roller rocker arms. These are the older style with the larger oil hole. The phasers and VCT solenoids are Dorman, but some of your comments would lead me to believe that this alone might not be a bad thing. These observations on this re-manufactured engine are pushing me toward wanting to verify some other items such as: Is there indeed a Melling M340HV oil pump installed? Did they use Ford or aftermarket chains, chain guides, chain tensioner, etc? In order to verify this, I would need to open the timing cover and check. If I find aftermarket parts in there should I change them out to recommended parts or leave them as is and depend on the 5-year no-fault warranty that they offer? Should I swap out the older style roller rocker arms for the later style roller rocker arms with the smaller hole (new genuine Ford parts)? My old engine had an exhaust valve head break off inside a cylinder while running. I really hate the thought of doing this job again in the future. Any thoughts you could share would be helpful.

Pulling a 4.6L out of my 2006 F-150 using your video instructions even though it’s a little bit different due to the power plant. Wish me luck. My truck has 310K miles in the rust belt (upstate NY).

I remember when your son was much smaller. He is going to b a great tech! And now he is a fine helper! I like that u use the older M12 ratchet. Lighter and faster. The bigger one is great for the tougher ones

Thank you for all the helpful information. It’s been a big help troubleshooting and fixing my ‘11 Expedition. I’m still wondering why people say the 5.4 Triton engine is so bad? I took a chance on a used Expedition with about 78k miles. Aside from a few issues with the HVAC actuators (which I fixed with your help), the Expedition runs well and handled a trip from Southern California to Phoenix Arizona with no problems. I wasn’t towing a trailer, loaded down or blasting up hills either.

I'm currently doing this exact job and some of the guys that keep trying to tell me this is a job i don't want to be doing. even though no matter what they say it's a learning experience for me to do this because I've already done 3 chevys but never a ford.. as I'm saying I'm perfectly able to do this. there trying to pick at every single thing I'm doing following your exact video step by step. when i told them I'm pushing the tranny back they said there's no reason to push it back. but i couldn't find the exact time frame where you said why you need to. either way so far this is the easiest and best video showing me everything.

I’ve removed a few 5.4s from this body style and I am stunned at how easy that motor came out for you. It was rubbing against the cowl and radiator brace a lot more for me

Before you start a job like this, spray down all the bolts the night before with PB Blaster or whatever works for you. Also if you come across a stuck bolt, don't rush it! I have seen many cases where a person is impatient and just tried to muscle it off, breaks it and cause ten times the frustration. Use heat, pb blaster, hit the bolt with a hammer, and work it back and forth. Also don't forget to use antiseize during reassembly

Just finished pulling the timing cover on a 5.4 and changed the chains, tensioners, guides, phasers and the vvt solenoids. Ten minute test drive it ran perfect until it didn’t and now I’ve got the same p0014 code. I think I’m gonna be eating the lab on a motor job

@@jasonsoto6623 Yea with a used motor that didn't have so much wear on the cam caps. I believe I was losing a lot of oil pressure there. You could see and feel deep grooves. I swapped all my new timing components on to that motor to. I warned the customer that if the motor was warn then we will be at the same place we started but he stated he was religious and has a lot of faith but when I gave hime the call he wouldn't have it.

You are the guru sir, and we all thank you so much for what you do, sincerely. These 5.4 3v are beautiful pieces of machinery when functioning properly. I bought a 190k mile 2005 f150 for cheap with a "loss of power" condition. The truck functioned well until it got heated up good then would experience rough idling shaky at idle and a loss of power on acceleration, accompanied by the symphony of odd noises from under the hood. Well I re did the timing kit with Ford parts via your videos, meticulously. And now the same thing is happening still. Truck runs like a dream until it gets hot then rough and shaky at idle with loss of power at acceleration. I undo the vct sensors and have got rid of the rough idle but still doesn't feel like its getting the power. No codes except cam sensors open. I feel like it's something to do with fuel air ratio, could you point me in right direction of what to check?
@zacharyvaughn2232 4 жыл бұрын
Albeit the engine sounds fine and the right hand tensioner was blown out when I replaced the timing kit. I also put in new vcts which weren't Ford but still, and the new melling high vol oil pump with the oil you recommended
