How to Build a Ford 5.4L 3V Engine - Part 2: Timing Set and Head Disassembly

Today we are continuing our "How to Build a Ford 5.4L 3V Engine" series with part 2. Timing set, head removal and disassembly! This style of V8 is a little more involved than a conventional pushrod style V8 due to its overhead camshaft design. But don't worry I walk you through every step and show you exactly what you need to do! Thanks so much for watching!

So why does the manual say you need to have cylinder one at TDC? Whats that for if yiu just remove the whole cylinder head? Also when your reinstalling the head and the camshaft, lash adjusters, and cam followers yoi still didnt put number 1 cylinder at TDC. Does it even matter?

Great video ! Thanks for sharing !
You sound similar to Brian from FordTechMaculoko. Are you guys related, or it’s a FORD thing 😁?

I have 2010 F150 Platinum same engine. 198,000 miles. Engine runs and sounds good. How long can i expect it to run well with good care ? I will most likely get remanufactured engine when it gets time. What kind of improvements should be done on these engines?

[@joecostu1571]

I have a 2009 with 279.000 miles. Just be an time in your oil changes with motorcraft filters

[@2carpros]

Quite sometime if it is taken care of with quality oil and filters ever 5k miles. These engines get a bad rap but honestly I think it's because of a lot of lazy owners not changing their oil. Thanks for watching!

[@joecostu1571]

@mar1video just take your time don't rush.

[@nancy4don]

Just curious: does Sumit offer upgraded cam phasers? Since these do go out fairly frequently…

[@2carpros]

I would get the Ford OEM ones. They are the only ones I trust. Thanks for watching!

[@mtsanchez27]

Do you guys have an episode when removing the engine?

[@2carpros]

Working on that video! It's a lot to edit! thanks for watching!

[@bret9741]

How did you get the motor so clean?

[@2carpros]

The machine shop hot tanked it for me. Thanks for watching!

[@gabbystarks7941]

What is the cost to rebuild an engine, getting all the replacement parts from an auto parts store?

[@gabbystarks7941]

From the smallest part to the bigger ones.

[@gabbystarks7941]

And what exactly does the machinist do to the part you send? And can I do it myself?

[@2carpros]

Watch the entire series and I go over every detail. Thanks for watching!

[@albertland86]
