Ford ED Falcon Engine Rebuild part 1

[@brianhalberry]

Old mechanic here and about halfway through I thought, "Wait, what?! A young guy that's not glued to a screen?! Awesome." Good job, love the, "Never done this before, but I'll give it a go" attitude.

[@homlesy1172]

old mechanic didnt pick up not using a sealant round welsh plugs?

[@seanb250]

Great effort, good to see a young fella getting in there and learning, it’s the best way to do it.

[@scroatworx2339]

hey lachlan, the old wags is running now. Its nearly ready for sale.

[@hicksy6565]

That's great news I'll have to get in contact and come check it out I'll send you a message

[@clynn74]

So good. Amazing start

[@gnarlythetoyotacoasterbusa4089]

Nice man love the paint purple looks mint. It’s refreshing to see someone have a go at this with no previous experience. I’ve always wanted to have a crack at it myself. I’ve got a au falcon xr Ute with 400 thousand kms on original engine they are bullet proof. Much love mate

[@roryalgate872]

Great video mate.... awesome work.

[@jackkelly3747]

Yeah mate I like the commentary 👍👍

[@homlesy1172]

6:34 Always use GM sealant when fitting welsh plugs, just a light smear and bang them in. It's a bit pricey, but it's worth it

[@GavincredibleAU2]

Great video 👍

[@GavincredibleAU2]

Also the paint looks awesome!!

[@jackospark6691]

read top on the SOHC was xr6 red top turbo was a barra thing

[@homlesy1172]

14:07 always tighten down things evenly to make things seal better, on engine cover you can see the first bolt was tightened down all in one go which its better to bring it down little by little the same as you do an engine head

[@terry2can914]

Gday mate love ya vid

[@terry2can914]

Aye u got the same Chinese work boots 👌🏽

[@ayandavellem938]

Great informative video my dad Fairmont 4L str six A/T stack in gear one gear slip i want to fix

[@joelcarr1668]

Its sounds dodgy to say but bbq paint works well on a engine block just remember to read the can

[@Capt_goose]

hey mate , I will be also building a 4.0 L for my EB as soon as my block and head are back from the machine shop , how did you get on with the timing guide install in the timing cover have you got footage of that at all . and thanks for making this video as this is the only aussie 4.0l inline 6 rebuild i could find on youtube .

[@lachlansworkshop.9027]

i use some pliers to hold the tension up straight and got all the engine and crank in TDC then just slipped the cover on.

[@johnbilchuris9728]

Hi what's the best mods to do to a Ed 4.0 ltr just to freshen up & a little bit more power? Thanks ✌️

[@hicksy6565]

Maybe look at cam upgrades and headers. It can be a little costly, just google some cam upgrades and research what you need, I think there's a chip you need for the ecu to tune it. Apart from that I'm not very knowledgeable.

[@Vikingxb]

Yea the factory computers cant really cope with aftermarket cams etc etc. J3 chip is needed i think. Wifey has an ED fairmont. All ive done to it is a full 2.5" exhaust and fitted AU fuel injectors as they have a better spray pattern, went through and did dizzy rotor and cap, Eagle HT leads and set of plugs. Checked and adjusted the ignition timing ( bit of a process ). Runs good. The bigger exhaust made a huge difference to it, opened it right up and now i find it uses less fuel too.

[@johnathonc8171]

Literally my situation but with a 93 eb 🤣🤣

[@Justinmate56]

The red top means ticfed

[@southernshades1061]
