How to Build a Ford 5.4L 3V Engine - Part 1: First Disassembly

Today it is my honor to welcome you to our next engine build! This series is showing you exactly how to rebuild the infamous Ford Modular Triton 5.4L 3V bolt by bolt! In this video I will show you how to place the engine on a stand and start taking it down to the block so it can be rebuilt. I hope you join me on this endeavor and I'm so excited to get started! Thank you to ‪@SummitRacing‬ for sponsoring this build!

[@LxTxSURGE]

hey i got a 5.4 with a massive tick what tools would i need or recommend i would want to tackle this myself or what do you think it would cost to rebuild?

[@screwedupclick1374]

@@LxTxSURGEif you do the work and depending on what new parts you get it should run from 2k-4k

[@wadesinnett1326]

Been waiting for another build series! I’m not a ford fan, but I’ll still watch

[@2carpros]

Appreciate that! I never know what engine I'm building next.

[@Hotrodfabs]

I have a 2006 ford f250 super duty it has 372,000 miles and still runs but it's lacking power , ticking, exhaust manifold leaking ready to pull the engine and start a rebuild,i love this truck

[@nickxmaiden9406]

Sooo exciting!! You make the best videos

[@2carpros]

Yay! Thank you!

[@josephutuadoPR]

Great video

[@2carpros]

Thank you Joseph!

[@kphillips3694]

Ive watched the how to build a 5.4 playlist three times. I am going to something like it in a few months. But I think I my go with a reman. What are your suggetions if any?

[@2carpros]

Thank you so much for watching! Not a bad choice. I have heard from other Ford people that Jasper is decent.

[@MrMusic-ob2jj]

Subscribed... I love my 5.4 3V Triton

[@stevewayne3676]

Give it time 😂

[@imsohchill]

I have a 2004 Heritage W/ 4.6 L Triton. Engine has 244K miles. It currently runs and drives good. Would you recommend restoring the current engine or buying a new one??

[@2carpros]

I'd keep driving it and keeping up on the maintenance. Thanks for watching!

[@bobbygibson908]

Loving these videos, I have a 5.4 that I am going to start to rebuild so it’s great having these to watch first to make sure I know what I’m doing lol. Do you have a parts list for all the stuff you got for the rebuild?

[@2carpros]

Nice! We will have a whole page made. Thanks for watching!

[@agaragar21]

Wow ! .That was GREAT !!!

[@2carpros]

Thank you!

[@southernrider3418]

Is the 2000 ford 5.4 trition expedition engine the Same as the 2005 5.4 Triton

[@2carpros]

Nearly. But that's a 2v and this is a 3v. Thanks for watching!

[@outsidethelines2162]

Finally! Wooooo!

[@2carpros]

I know right?!

[@RediMasters]

what was that hose tool at 9:40? thanks :)

[@L4ND.SH4RK]

Welders are cheap, I've got a MIG that I used to favricate a new shock mount on an old K1500, later bought a TIG and they both do stick. Can't wait until I get a hoist and stand.❤❤❤❤

[@2carpros]

True, its crazy how cheap stick welders have gotten. Nice! Thanks for watching!

[@caseycayson9276]

Hey buddy I wanting to learn how to pull a engine out and rebuild one I have a 04 f150 5.4 triton engine 4x4 any suggestions would be helpful getting started

[@hiz-n-lowz1577]

uhm, watch the videos maybe?

[@neilsteffler2019]

A better way to get it out tap the dowel and screw a bolt into it orange to dowel and works great usually

[@2carpros]

Welder is easier for me, but your way works too! Thanks for watching!

[@SuperJRREID]

If you are ever on the big island 😮 Hawaii come by

[@2carpros]

Would love to! Hawaii is so beautiful! Thanks for watching!

[@JosephPurkey-i6i]

I just bought a 5.4 3v with 343,000 miles it has a REALLY bad knock when it gets up to temperature but it stops knocking when you give it gas and it idle back down, anyone know what this could be?

[@jaholl97]

Cam phasers need replaced.

[@2carpros]

Yep sounds like cam phasers or a tensioner. Thanks for watching!

[@Blazer02LS]

Even with it's problems it's better than the latest Ford release that has block leaks from the factory... Or most of the ecoboost engines that are eating turbos like they were candy.

[@2carpros]

I like to think this engine is misunderstood and under maintained. Thanks for watching!

[@Cody-uv4we]

Hahahahaha ide have to look again. Been a few years. California has some interesting smog laws based on zip codes

[@2carpros]

Very true. Thanks for watching!

[@mikehenrickson3898]

Spark plug replacement 2,000 dollars. Scrapping this piece of junk, priceless.

[@2carpros]

Who is charging 2k for plugs?! That's madness! Thanks for watching!

[@Kopester]

Your smoking that top shelf boof💀 They must take you for an absolute bafoon if they charge you $2,000😂😂😂

[@mikehenrickson3898]

@@2carpros it's not the plugs. It's every one of them breaking off and the lisle tool dropping porcelain in the cylinders. No guess work they say.

[@mikehenrickson3898]

You can't really just stick a vacuum in the cylinder now you have shards of porcelain potentially wedged in between the piston and cylinder wall.

[@stevewayne3676]

​@@2carproseveryone 😂 They say the plugs break on most everyone 🙄 i paid $1600 was the cheapest price i found and 8 months later the motor went out i sold it the way it was 😅

[@CesarCano-e7x]

Great engine , when performing right , but a lot of crap going on wrong , is a POS .

[@2carpros]

Love mine now! Thanks for watching!
