I now understand why this is so expensive.

Just a little FYI.. if you do the double nut method, once you jam the 2 together use the bottom nut to break the bolt loose. Using the top one will just spin off everytime if the bolt is tighter than what you jammed the 2 together at. Highly unlikely to spin both nuts jammed together, possible but unlikely. If it breaks off you would be in same boat as the 1st stud that broke off. I can say though, I've gotten 99% of the studs out using the 2 jam nuts.

It’s not that hard, just remember where parts and bolts go when you remove or take pictures or video as you remove parts to help reinstall them with little to no issues

Thanks for the video. Now I'm certain I won't be messing with it

@infinity3jif

191k. This engine will easily get to 400k

@kidsythe

@9 ish minutes the easiest tool for the head bolt is definitely a clothes pin.

@larrykirby5036

Oh Ford.....why

@kingsoulgrim7137

Well I came to see how to change the valve cover gaskets not to see how to tear down a whole engine still good video but jeez

if you dont have cam holding fixtures just take out the rocker followers. it closes all the valves making setting timing easy

@PTShakey

You are the best standard for tutorial how to videos on youtube. I build 4.6 and 5.4 engines and am very impressed your your knowledge and technique. Great editing and commentating as well.

Man you go into great detail of how to do this. Video did not get the likes it deserves

@Jnwheeler0607

You even went the extra mile to remove parts of the truck to get the right camera angles! You just earned another subscriber my man. This is a very well put together video and easy to follow. Thanks for the hard work to show us d.i.y'ers how it's done. Much appreciated!🙏🏻

@titus2080

Wow!!! Best clear detailed video I've seen. Being the master of your craft is one thing, being able to present, is a completely different talent. If you intend to undertake such a complex project, you should watch the video a dozen times. Messing up or forgetting any details would be painful.
