I am doing a timing chain, cam phaser job with new lifters and roller rockers. I had a huge problem trying to remove the old followers on some of the cylinders following your guidance. I ended up having to remove the cam shafts to get them all out. I though maybe the chain had slipped and caused the cam lobes to be too far from the base circle to get them out and I didnt want too risk popping off keepers or other damage. After following all your steps for timing chain and phaser replacement will all Ford parts and having replaced all the lifters before reinstalling the cams, I then started to reinstall the followers and once again was having difficulty putting them in. Finally after struggling through 3 of them I inspected the genuine OTC 6684 tool that I had purchased from a defunct Ford Dealership selling off tools, I found that the part that pushes the valve down was bent! It wasnt real obvious but it was enough to only allow the valve to be depressed partially. So I carefully straightened out the tool and it was like magic. All those follower went in with no trouble. Just goes to show how careful you are to do it right some things just go wrong. Im just happy to have it resolved. I will be done with the job tommorrow. Im 68 years old and a retired Ford Tech, but I havent done major engine work for decades as I specialized in electrical/electronics/AC/ etc. Thanks for all your great videos and guidance.

I have a 2008 Ford Expedition. I was blessed to have come across your page on KZfaq to better educate me on this motor. You REALLY helped me out. I spent a while looking places up, took your advice on a lot of things to look at for at dealerships so I drove to Orlando to get the roller followers, camshafts (if needed) and timing done. I was going to get the updated oil pump too. In Miami I was quoted 4,500 and in Orlando I was quoted $2,700, both at Ford dealerships…Orlando being the cheapest. Once the tech looked at the truck I was told I have metal shavings in my oil filter and said that I need a new motor because the motor is eating itself from the inside out. They did not open the motor at all. I requested prior to coming up here that I wanted to see whatever the tech finds but there was no communication. Now I am headed back to Miami to another dealership for a second opinion. I sure wish I was near Chicago brother, you would definitely done my motor over/replaced it. It’s so hard finding people that’ll do it right! Thanks for all those videos my friend. Any advice will help out.

@FordTechMakuloco Жыл бұрын

As long as the engine oil was maintained you will be ok with just a timing job. Fine metal in the filter would be the result of the chain hitting the front cover like they all do, no big deal. $2,700 sounds way too low like they are not replacing everything, $4,500 sounds right for a dealer. I even charge $3,500 to $4k with all the extras as an independent.

I bought a 2005 f150 Lariat with 136k miles that was in great shape, but had a misfire when I test drove it and also a tick. I first did the spark plugs and coils and found all but 2 were loose and one had the end broke off. It drove better but still didn’t have power and felt like it was still misfiring and ticking . I then decided to change all the roller followers and lash adapters. I took the valve covers off and found my problem, it was a roller follower locked up and the cam had been just grinding away on it on the right side of my engine. After replacing my cam, roller followers, and lash adapters my truck runs like new. I couldn’t have done it without your amazing videos!

Great video thanks! I missed the "very important part" about pushing as you compress the spring. A bit of stomach in the throat moment when I saw a keeper fall as I lifted out the rocker. Luckily the tool had shifted a bit and the spring was pushing the valve sideways preventing it from falling into the cylinder. With some strong magnets, a little pry to center the top, I managed to get it all back together, released the tension to make sure the keepers were seated and then recompressed it to put the new rocker in.

Rookie mistake... I placed a towel near the phaser to prevent anything from falling down into the pan. Placed another towel on top and cleaned up all gasket material and dirt. Started working and was stumped why the engine was so hard to turn over with 18mm. Realized I forgot to remove the towel and binded it up in the phaser, chain, etc. Slowly cutaway material and turned the motor over manually until I could pull the towel out of the teeth. Hopefully I did not stretch the chain or throw off timing. Guess I will be doing complete timing job next. Still can't believe I did that... thank you for the great video!

FTM made me feel confident enough to tear my 05 150 down for full timing, phasers, oil/water pumps, new roller followers. Popped the V Cover and found D side (Bank 2?) Phaser looked like it had exploded. Pass side tensioner completely blown. Yet never had a worry bc I knew my man here would guide me through.

These videos are the best available for Ford modular V8 engines. I have the tick sound from the roller followers, gonna change them. Should I do a whole timing kit with upgraded oil pump? Have about a 130k miles on this motor. Thanks for your great work!

I didn’t really have to do my timing till about 350K on my 2014 Expedition. For now I would just replace any loose/jiggly roller followers at this point.

Love watching your video. They have helped me wint my 5.4 3 valve many times. Also like that you don't make us dizzy trying to work with one hand and video with the other. I do have a question, if you don't mind. Will that spring compressor work on the 2.3/2.5 dual plug heads as well? Thanks again for sharing

You da man, Brian! A natural instructor. Seeing those tiny orifices is a good reminder to do regular and timely oil changes. How's your diesel in your 1500 btw? Hopefully a thumbs up.

Thanks to you i managed to get my timing done on my 13 expedition! I did have a big question though in regards to oil pressure. Where you talk about the hole in the new roller followers, and how it differs from the original, how much of a difference would it make? Reason i ask is, after flipping through tons of forums and comments i ended up going with the melling m340hv pump, given at the time of install it was closing in on 200k and all sources i was reading were saying how much more benefit the higher volume would be. Now that ill be going back in to get these adjusters and arms done, i want to make sure that increased pressure wouldnt cause more harm than good. Thanks for all you do!

Thanks for the video Makuloko although one things you mentioned on the new rollerfollower you installed that the hole in the roller follower was bigger on the old one than the new.Wouldnt it be better if the hole was bigger in the new one so oil passage could flow easier and if so why install the one that has a smaller hole.

I have a 2010 Ford Explorer AWD with the 4.6 in it. It seems to have 3 distinct issues. The first issue is when accelerating smoothly up to highway speed the truck can begin to shudder quite violently until I apply more throttle as if to pass. Second issue the brakes when braking normally the truck can pull very hard generally to the right in both forward and reverse. I recently had both upper control arm replaced followed up with an alignment and since then I hear a lot of metal on metal while turning left.

What's your recommendation on replacing the lash adjusters when replacing the rockers? I have 6.8 3v that I need to do all the followers on and I was planning to just reuse the lash adjusters. Unless the adjuster is collapsed or obviously damaged, I don't see a point in replacing them -- unless there is some tribal knowledge indicating otherwise.

Love the videos you have so much good information thank you. So my 05 navigator 5.4 3 valve just stated with the problem I took the valve cover off and cylinder 2 roller folower came loose and scuffed my cam. Where can I purchase a new camshaft and roller flowers. Thank you

@gorblimey61 5 жыл бұрын

The 4.6L 3V engine in my '06 Stang has developed a tick which has gotten louder over time. I put a stethoscope on the valve covers, but that didn't seem to reveal much. I'm suspecting either a follower or lash adjuster. Another issue I'm experiencing is increased oil consumption so I'm suspecting either guides or seals. At this point I'm wondering if I should just bite the bullet and spring for reconditioned heads.

Thanks for everything Brian, when reinstalling I should just start with all of the lobes at base circle 6 o’clock on the crank hub then rotate to the next group? No issues with piston position and fully opened valves?

@@FordTechMakuloco Putting together the parts list based on what you are recommending. Definitely has the famous roller follower tick so I'll be pulling it apart shortly and upgrading the oil pump while I'm at it

Thank you for the great videos very informative. I will be doing my timing chains and fasers change. I was going get some of the parts but amazon says that oil pump and roller followers aren't compatible for my 2010 f150 5.4l 3v. What oil pump, roller followers and thrash adjusters would recommend for my f150. Thank you very much!

@ryanv7195 2 жыл бұрын

I'm watching this video again before doing it myself. I Want to change the lash adjusters and roller followers on my mustang gt I with the 4.6l 3 valve engine. Could I use this procedure to remove all the followers and lash adjusters and replace them individually? Or do I need to raise the camshaft to replace the lash adjusters. Thanks you so much for sharing your knowledge I have so many of your videos on my Playlist.

I got a set of these ford rockers and on some of them the hole isn't all the way through.. I checked by trying to shine a light through and push a pin needle in.. It just doesn't work... i am glad i noticed this before installing them all... could have burnt up another rocker and cam lobe.

I can understand your video,s the attention to detail is perfect, I need your opinion about my truck problems. I just posted the issues, I would greatly appreciate your response, I'm at my Witt's end and can't afford a shop.
