Great videos. Very helpful. I installed the new Ford parts and timed the engine. I'm now installing the cam followers. One question, when turning the engine to install the followers, some times the left chain gets some slack in it. When I turn it further it tightens up again. Is this normal, because there is no oil pressure to the tensioner? Thanks!

Brian, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, Your videos are SO detailed and comprehensive that you gave me the confidence to do this job myself on my 2005 F150 with 330K KM. I thought I would only need to replace 1 phaser on bank 2 but when I got in there I could see chunks of black plastic rolling around in the Timing chains, so I knew the entire kit needed to be changed out. I got my parts and tackled the project, including dropping the Oil Pan and cleaning out the broken pieces. I found that the kit had been changed out once before and apparently they did not clean out the pan, as it was full of more plastic than what my kit left behind, and the intake was almost plugged with small pieces. I had an 80 yr old mechanic friend helping me but he was not familiar with Fords, so I was taking the lead. At the end of the job some 18 hours later, he said he actually learned a lot and was impressed that I would take on this project. Later my father in law also told me how impressed he was that I did this, and said he wouldn't have done it. Keep in mind that I am not much of a mechanic beyond brakes, tire changes, and CV Joints, and basic maintenance. I'm a retail worker and Painter by trade. My only other option was to abandon the truck and NOT be able to afford a replacement. So again, Brian, You saved my truck, you saved me money, and gave me confidence. The job cost me about $1200 CAN $$. YOU ARE A GOOD MAN!!!! capt.mark@telus.net

These videos are amazing: detailed, great camera work, great explanations and plenty of ancillary videos for all the other service items. I purchased the tools and spent quite a bit of time, but still worth it over the $$$ that a shop would've charged.

Have an 07 Expedition with 106K miles. For the last few years on cold starts where the vehicle had not been driven for days, made a "I have no oil" type noise for a second at startup that seemed to be getting more frequent. No excessive ticking or hunting idle. Always Mobil 1 in engine with Motorcraft Oil Filters. Based upon research fully expected to find tensioners bleeding down. Not the case, did find a broken timing chain guide. Replaced timing chains, guides, tensioners, and on a hunch, the oil pump at the last minute. Had Brian's video's cued up on the computer for when I got stuck. Dude, you are a lifesaver, the videos gave me the confidence to take the project on and got me through the accursed power steering pump and a few other rough spots. If you are ever in Speedway, I will buy you a Daredevil beer.A few words of advice for folks considering this repair, get the Melling 360 pump ahead of time, no one stocks it. I installed the Melling 10340 high pressure "performance" pump which I think is just a 360 for twice as much. You can use the old crank seal and a block of wood to install the new seal without damage. Follow all instructions in videos without shortcuts. Have infinite patience. Good luck.

Great videos. My 2010 F-150 is now so quiet, I stopped at a light and had to look to see if the truck stalled! Running great. I'd definitely recommend this job to anyone with moderate mechanical skills, assuming you have the proper tools, time and patience. Oil pump, p/s pump, and roller followers will test your patience, for sure. Thanks again for the series.

As others have pointed out, great series of videos Brian. I am pretty handy mechanically but Im not sure I would have attempted this without the excellent tutorial. My truck is a 2010 4x4 5.4L 3v F150 w/183k miles. This had been a great truck up until my passenger side guide failure and timing jump (a piece must have wedged between the chain and phaser and followed the sprocket around). I at first thought the vct solenoid was bad on that side and replaced it but while I had the valve cover removed I noticed a couple pieces of guide and realized what had happened. I ordered the kit Brian listed and also replaced the oil pump with the Melling HV unit. All in all I probably spent 25 hrs (working on it at night) and really took my time. The truck now runs great other than a small exhaust manifold leak on the passenger side 🙁. It was probably present before but only notice it now because of how quiet it is! I actually completed this without removing the upper radiator hose or draining the cooling system because I already had just replaced my coolant. I also did not remove the batter or battery box. It was tighter but manageable on my 2010. I also dropped the oil pan (it's not the easiest job) and cleaned out the pick up tube and pan of small guide pieces and years of filth. After checking the oil at 500 miles my oil still looks very clean... Notes: I used a lift and worked from both the top and bottom. *After removing the air deflector the sight lines are pretty good. - Rent a Chrysler 3 jaw puller if you dont have the 3 threaded holes on your balancer. - You can see the dipstick tube hold down bolt from the wheelwell, I had a difficult time getting the angle on that without seeing it. - Take a look at Brian's video on removing the power steering pump, a couple of the bolts are blind. - Have plenty of brake clean on hand

One month ago today my brother dropped off his 218,00 mile , 2005 F150 Lariat 2wheel drive 5.4L. The vehicle had a terrible rattle on start up. Smoke sometimes on start up, Misfires, on 2 and 3 cylinder. Poor gas mileage. This is an extra vehicle for his farm so he was not in a hurry. I concluded he he needed a full timing chain job, high volume oil pump, plugs, coils, valve stem guide seals, oil change obviously. And cooling system flush with fresh antifreeze. The only reason I took this job on is because I felt this Four part series and additional high volume oil pump video provided me with the information I needed to complete the task. In addition the videos on roller followers and valve lash adjusters helped me determine I had three bad roller followers. I wanted only motorcraft parts for internal engine parts. I decided to replace the water pump, lower radiator hose, and I put on a gates serpentine belt system. I wasn’t impressed with it because the pulleys all had lateral play. I even called gates to get their opinion as to whether I got authentic parts or if they were somebody’s cheap copies of theirs. The rep said it’s normal to have a little bit of lateral play when they are under load they won’t have any. He was wrong they do have a little bit of lateral play. However they do roll nice and smooth and much easier than the 16 year old Motorcraft parts did. So time will tell on that. I caution you to heed the warning of Brian when he says watch this video series to see if it’s something you’re capable of doing. I feel the videos empowered me to do something I would not have been able to do without them. Today I finished the project and the vehicle runs excellent. I will however highly recommend getting a topside creeper. As I am currently 56 years old it’s hard on the body to do this kind of work. I think the book calls for 12 hours for just the timing chain job. I cannot add up how many hours it took me to do this job I would typically work 3 to 5 hours at a time, on my days off. A month later I am finally finished. I will say the valve guide seals were very time consuming and tedious. I want to express my thanks and gratitude to Brian for making this series and taking the time to show the details that are needed to do a good quality job. I have seen other comments from people say oh you don’t have to take the roller followers all out and stuff like that. Just follow what he says and you will have great results. I did it exactly as he said putting the chains on with all of my roller followers out. I needed to inspect them thoroughly anyway along with the lash adjusters. Be sure and use all the tools that he recommends for a proper timing job can you do it without some of those tools yes. Don’t be a fool when I Wiseman recommends tools and procedures, follow his instructions for the best results. Thank you again Brian I am sitting here with a smile on my face knowing that I fixed an engine that would’ve not been much longer for this world had a continued without repairs. I appreciate you!

Just finished doing an entire timing job on my 05 f150 with the 5.4 3 valve. Started it up and it idled like hammered dog shit. I figured I would drive it to the shop and let them figure it out. When I put it in reverse I realized I had no power brakes. My brain started running and I realized that when I was doing all the work on the driver side head(valve cover removal, pulling the cam and reinstalling the roller rockers) I was pretty rough while handling the brake booster vacuum line and I had unplugged the vacuum line for the brake booster from the back of the intake. I had to remove the air filter assembly and the throttle body and take the fuel rail loose so I could make enough room to get my hand/arm down back there to reconnect it. Truck runs like new now. If your truck idles like shit after you have done all this work, give the brake booster vacuum line a check. It may be the culprit.

Just wanted to say thanks for this video series. It's been 3 weeks since I finished the full timing replacement on my 04 F150 5.4. Used your videos along with a Chiltons book. Everything works great! In fact, I can't even hear the engine running when I am at a red light, gas mileage increased, no more codes or sounding like a diesel. The step by step process you demonstrated was outstanding. For anybody planning to do this job I will suggest you avoid the cheaper timing kits you can find on ebay or amazon. I thought I would be saving money by going with an evergreen kit but the oil pump came out of the box seized. At that point I didn't feel comfortable putting the other aftermarket parts in. So, I ate the cost and went to a Ford dealership to get new parts minus the Mehling M340 oil pump. Still saved money doing the work myself even after the aftermarket parts fiasco. On another note; I plan on rebuilding or replacing my rear differential. Got a shudder between 45-55mph and all the forums point me to the rear diff. Any links for some good info before I tackle this? Once again, thanks for an informative and accurate video of how to time this engine.

Great videos on doing and completing this timing chain job on my newly purchased '05 Ranch King F150. Truck had a brief rattle upon cold startup and a slight ticking on the right bank while running. Truck had 159,000 miles and I had no idea about this problem with the 5.4. ( I'm a chevy guy.) I'm a 66yr old retired truck driver with some health issues and was not looking forward to this job, but knew, from your videos, that it was going to get worse. Took my time (10 days and about $1,200) while reviewing your videos and completed this job, A big H--L YES echoed from my garage when I fired that baby up! Saved me at least $1,500 in labor. Many Thanks. Great videos

Just performed this whole job in my 2008 ford f150 with 200000 miles with the original timing components and it took me about a week because I was being very careful about everything. The vehicle ran good on Initial startup but started shaking badly. I scanned the engine and noticed it was bank 2 giving me timing problems. I found out it was just a bad connection on the bank 2 camshaft timing sensor. Vehicle runs super quiet now😄 very happy I did this maintenance on it.

Awesome Videos!! Makuloco is the BEST Jerry the BEST! Wish I lived close by so I could have Brian and his son work on my 08 F150 (all genuine Ford except for floor mats). I was able to do this job myself which I never would have attempted without these videos. Took several days doing a few hours a day plus a few other repairs while it was all apart. I bought all genuine Ford parts (watched his video on counterfeit parts) I installed Melling M340HV since my engine code is 5. I used two part organizer cases (L and R side) to organize the roller followers one roller per bin front to back labeled a column for each cylinder (I did this in my driveway and made it easy to put them aside and bring back out to install without getting mixed up). I watched his new engine install where he recommends a new oil filter adaptor because of corrosion. This is an easy time to check it and found it was corroded under the gasket seal. Installed new adapter and gasket. I also installed new IWE 4 wheel drive vacuum line since its all exposed and it cracked it wire harness. Rewrapped wire harness where wrap had disintegrated. Found armature on generator was shot. Also realized that pressing out the old bearings on the idler tension pulley wheel and other two idler pulleys is $8 for USA quality bearing compared to $30 for idler pulley and $100 for idler tensioner (couldn't find just pulley wheel on tensioner which got me looking for 6203-2 bearings). Thank you Brian for sharing your knowledge and know how you have a real talent for teaching and making videos. Your son is a lucky kid.

Thanks for the great videos. Here are my notes from just having done a 2005 expedition: -It is possible to R+R the passenger side valve cover on this vehicle without evacuating the AC. I removed the VCT solenoid before removing the valve cover, and installed the valve cover before replacing the VCT solenoid. I used the strap portion of ratchet strap to raise the refrigerant lines near the firewall a bit while re-installing the valve cover. Just hand tension times 2, not using the ratchet mechanism. -I also loosened the retaining bolt on the transmission dipstick tube. Not sure if necessary, but seemed to provide some more wiggle room. -I did remove the quick disconnect coolant Y-hose to the heater cores. Surprisingly the O-rings were still nice and pliable. Replacement QD kits available on ebay as E69Z-18D434-A and E69Z-18D434-B Presumably, the B part supersedes the A part. Doorman appears to have retrofit compatible parts as well (I think 800-403, because 800-404 was too large for this application on my vehicle) . Cleaned off the deposits, then greased the male tube end and all the O-rings with silicone grease before re-assembly. You must make sure to that the ears (release levers) on the male end white component are in the same orientation as the side holes of the female portion of the QD connector before reinserting. -I did not have an appropriate socket for knocking the crankshaft seal into the front cover, so I used a small piece of wood and knocked it in from the back side. -I used the plastic shim trick to immobilize the camshafts, since I did not wind up removing roller followers. -For a bit I thought I could remove the power steering pump pulley with a hex key wrench. Nope, requires some weird puller. -I primed the oil pump with a spin on filter adapter. Primed the upper engine with it also, but most of upper oil ran back out before I could get the new filter on (Duh). Oh well, I suppose it's no more dry run time than when you do a normal oil change. -The flexhead ratcheting wrenches are the bomb. I bought a cheapo set, and they worked fairly well, just way more backlash than gearwrench which makes them much less efficient when working in tight quarters. Now, I'm going to try my luck at an electric fan conversion. I don't do any towing, so maybe they will be able to keep up.

Drove it home, parked it over night, came out the next morning and on start up it sounded like a diesel that had run out of oil. I now realize that I had been hearing the chain rattling on start-up for the last year or two. I thought it was a rod knock. I feel like an idiot for ignoring it for so long. Now feel guilty for all the times I was cruising at 85 on a tired chain and tensioner.

Brian. 10 months ago my passenger upper timing chain guide snapped on my 05' Lincoln Navigator. My cam phasers always had the dreaded tick too. I figured at 135k on the odometer it was time to do this. I followed every instruction you provided. Great instructional video BTW. The Navigator was quiet and ran better than it ever did. The problem is now its 10 months later and the exact same timing chain guide snapped. I have to go back in and replace the guide and tensioner in the passenger bank... (oh the humanity!!). My question is how could this have happened?

Blood, sweat, gears... add foul language and throwing socket/wrench combinations into the drywall of my garage. When I work on this truck, it's either a piece of cake or an outright disaster. Every exhaust manifold stud came out w/o issue except one on a header install. Now I'm pulling heads since I found your vid. This is great. I don't have any of the common 5.4 noises, and I won't... because you took the time to do this, and I'm all for preventative maintenance. Some cams, headers, and catless pipes will wake my 2006 5.4 pig back up. I had to pull my oil pan to get the damn oil dipstick tube out. Because it broke during removal. That really pissed me off.

I used to work on my vehicles back in the 1980s, but they started getting too complicated and I stopped. My biggest question is how to keep track of every nut and bolt removed, especially if some are longer than others and when removing the plug harnesses, is there only one way to hook everything back up, so there is no mistaking one plug for another. I know it's sounds stupid, but it seems like I'd have to take alot of pictures to make sure I did not forget where something went.

@mattgraham4340 6 жыл бұрын

I have not done this job, but usually the wire lengths on the harnesses combined with unique connectors do not allow reconnecting the harness wrong. To keep bolts organized, thread them back into the holes they came out of, or place them in the holes of the removed part. For some procedures it may be helpful to punch holes in scrap cardboard with sharpie notes for the bolts. Pictures can't hurt

FordTechMakuloco, I think I have watched all of your videos on the 3v engines at least 3 times now. They are an absolutely incredible resource and I really appreciate your dedication to them! I have one question though. I am getting ready to undertake this job here in the next few weeks, I have taken a stethoscope to both valve covers and it seems like my ticking noise is coming from the right bank phaser as you specified was most common problem. My question is; Is it worth it to tear down the whole thing (front cover and all) and replace all of the timing components with the kit plus the oil pump rather than just starting w/ the right hand phaser and going from there? I want to make sure I do this job right the first time and am willing to spend the extra $1000 dollars (for the whole kit and additional tools) or so to do that if you believe it's worth it for the longevity of the engine? If not my backup plan is just to pull the valve cover on the right hand bank and replace the phaser while checking for adequate tension in the chain. Please let me know what you think, again I appreciate your time! Thank you! Kyle

It started having the knocking noise for the first 3 or 4 secs at start up then goes away. So its time to do something. I am concerned doing this job at that amount of miles.

Hi Brian, i know this is an old video. Im in Australia and i have a 5.4 3v in a BA Falcon 2004 and ive noticed the setup on my engine is different to the american versions. I have no MAF sensor, it has a small hose running off the throttle body and a few other subtle differences. I was wondering if you were aware of any internal differences between the US and Australian engines, ie: phasers, etc. Mine has 330,000 kms/ 205,000 miles and has a knock on the right hand side near the front of the valve cover, it appears to be coming from the valve train. Ive started collecting parts for an overhaul of the timing setup, melling hv360, gasket kits and full timing set with phasers, tensioners , etc. The knock is quiter on start up, it has the usual rattle of the chains for a couple of seconds on start up but the warmer the engine gets, the louder the knock and is constant at idle and at highway speeds. Sorry for the long winded message but its hard to find anyone here that is familiar with these engines as the common v8 in our fords here at the time were 5.4 4v DOHC Boss engines. My main concern is the knock, followers or rocker bearings is all i can think of. I have downloaded the IDS software and thinking of paying for a license. Forscan doesnt appear to cover the phasers from what I've read. Any advice would be appreciated. Cheers mate Greg

Hey there FordTechMakuloco, how reliable are the new tensioners on this kit? Have the seals been redesigned in some way? I've been reading that the old 2v tensioners seem to be more reliable. Another thing, the chain guides seem pretty thick and well made. I would assume you shouldn't have any trouble out of them unless a tensioner fails and you get chain slap, am I correct?
