I cannot thank you enough for your series on 4.0l engines. I was fighting the installation of a 4.0 in my son's Ranger. I watched this video yesterday, went home and had it mated to the transmission and bolted into the vehicle in less than 1 hour. Truly thankful and you deserve more than subscribers and comments. Again, thank you - this is the best video series on the SOHC engines, PERIOD.
Nice work! Happy to help!
I have 2001 Ford explorer sport track
Need head gaskets.
Maybe this weekend start
Thanks for yours videos.
You are the first person I have written a comment to on RUclips. I just want to thank you for your video. Having consolidated an engine installation in a half hour video is beyond excellent.
I have a 2006 Ford Explorer (Lucy) with 130k+ miles on it. I just had its transmission rebuilt and bought a new set of tires to get it ready for the next 100k miles or so.
A guy at work offered to change the valve cover gaskets for me, but in the process he must to dropped a bolt or something inside the engine, because when he tried to start it, the engine seized and never started anymore.
He immediately said it wasn't his fault and that most likely the engine was old and that was going to happen sooner or later.
A week later he told me that he felt bad about what had happened and offered to swap the engine if I bought a new one. So, as you must have already guessed it, I bought a new engine and the guy started the swap.
It took him 3 days to removed the old engine and about 3 weeks to drop in the new one. Losing bolts, ripping hoses and breaking pipes in the process.
A month later he asked me if I still wanted him to finish the job, to which I replied, NO. He had done enough damage and I have learned the lesson.
I tried getting more than a few of the so called "Mechanics" to come and finish the job, and they all said yes, but none one ever showed up.
My poor Lucy has been in my garage for more than a year now.
I normally do my own oil changes, tune-ups and breaks, but I've never messed with the engine before, but after watching your video I have decided to take matters into my own hands.
Wish me luck.
👨🔧
I’m honored to be the first comment. Appreciate the kind words and sorry to hear the predicament you’ve encountered.
It's alive, my Lucy is alive! 🚗
It took me all weekend, but I did it! 👨🔧
And it did not exploded or catched on fire. 🤪
Thanks to you and your awesome video.
I wish you the best on your life and all your endeavors. 🙇♂️🙇♂️🙇♂️
Make sure the converter is fully seated. A lot of times when you pull the engine the converter likes to move forward a notch
Yeah you’ll totally trash the trans pump if it isn’t fully seated. I’ve seen it so many times on the forums.
Fantastic job. No way I could have done this without your help. Thank you very much.
You sir are my savior. I picked up an '06 for cheap disassembled to the timing chains showing. I've had the engine out for a while and just started putting things back together. I just realized today that the rod studs and nuts need replaced. :roll: Not having been the person to disassemble my purchase, your video saved my bacon. Many thanks!
Just reuse them. I have it the past. Don’t recommend it but it’s still running.
Just want to say.... Thank you! Engine completely rebuilt in and purring like a kitten! Few snags here and there but complete!
Awesome bud! Great work! Thanks for all the support. Glad I could help.
With help of your video, I'm doing my first EVER engine swap on my 06 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer edition. Got only $700 into the whole project. Thanks a ton! You have a new subscriber!
Awesome! Good luck with everything, remember to take your time and lots of pictures. Thanks for the sub!
I'm about to swapping engines 02 explorer. And I don't know anything about it ... no enough money for mechanic . Hopefully this helps me doing it
Let you know I am a hands on guy but I have never done an engine. My brother in laws 2007 explorer had front and rear timing chain break. Shop quoted 4800. With ur video I was able to do it for 600. Absolutely the best video and explanation around. Thank you for your guidance for the weekend warrior. From NC.
Recently had to change an engine in an 07 sport trac and this video was a huge help.
Super thankful! I'm doing this next month and you are so much help!
Good luck!! Glad I could help.
Pretty good video considering how in depth it was, thanks👍👍♥️!!
Thanks a Mil ... Following your guide another 4.0l has been rebuild and back inside. Works perfect and looks like new since I took time and cleaned and paint it ;-) ... This experiance changed my attitude toward my Ford Explorer 2006. looking forward another 100k of great ridding ..;-)
Really enjoyed this install you are a great teacher keep up the content.. just subscribed 👍🏻
So very informative and professional, excellent job, thank you!
You are just fantastic a young man like you to know so much and be so good at it I watched some of your videos and I am very impressed.
their should be more young men like you out their keep up the good work.
Good stuff bro! Your videos are excellent to show people it isn't overly complicated to work on a car. It fires me up to hear about someone getting ripped off at a mechanic shop and I always say to myself " only if that person knew how easy it is to learn to do there own car work" But I was tought (You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink). Anyway, Keep it up bro, I'm enjoying the videos.
My gosh I can’t STAND when I hear people overpaid at the mechanic. I make it seem easy but trust me, with simple hand tools so many repairs are possible at home. Thanks for watching!
When you pointed out the three links on the leveller, I realized my problem getting the dowels to line up. Looked like you raised the trans some too.
Awesome job I got a long block coming in and I'm going to follow your steps. Probably a little different because I don't have four wheel drive and I'm lowered to the ground thanks for your videos
Will actually be easier. Don’t have to fight the starter over the front diff.
Probably me and my grandpas fault but started it up and it was unhappy to say and the exhaust decided it was time to fall off but still a great guide and helped us get through a lot of it and probably still saved us money
Alot of work for these trucks with that sohc engine they give alot of timing chain problems I would crush it unless I change the v6 to a older ohv efi engine they run forever great video
Wow, very impressive. Well done!
Good video. U made it fun without sounding like your a scientist. Thanks
Saving my ass right now at work! Some guy brought in his explorer half torn into already and im the lucky one who had to pull it, time it, and now reinstall after it was already half torn into 😂
I’ve learned to say no to BS like that lmao. Charge more if it’s already started.
Great job it helps me out to do my Ford show more
Man that was iimpressive ,.. well done buddy ,.. i haver had several explorers , my current one just turned over 200000 miles .... it runs great now after a year of replacing lots of parts but a rebuild im sure is not far off ,.. i think computer might be going bad bc i cant get these codes to clear with my OBD 2 .... great video ....
Thanks bud appreciate the support! :)
Love to see the other two explorers there as well, especially the other fourth gen.
Very nice job!
I want to thank you for making these videos but also want to curse you for making it look easy enough for us rubes to do it too.
Took me three attempts to finally get the engine back in, wish I had found your video before the first try though.
Thanks man.
Hey bud! Glad my videos could help. I definitely do make it look easy but understand that I do one swap a week. My first time was a nightmare too
Bro,I’m looking at a 2003 with 125k 4.0
Would you recommend it?
For sure. Just make sure it’s nice and quiet.
@@patrickstar1439 look into the timing chain issue, I can't remember what year they started using the decent quality guides.
But, if you hear any chain slap or rattle on start up don't get it unless it's cheap. It's not a difficult task but it's not that much fun either.
2002 the front was reinforced. They never updated the back.
* YOU DID A GREAT , JOB.!
DONT SELL YOURSELF SHORT,.. AWESOME JOB..!
Thank you so much! That means a lot to me.
Thank you so much.. You got a new subscriber .
No problem! Thanks for the sub!
You did a good job... congratulations
Thank you very much. Definitely a good feeling when everything works!
Awesome work
Thank you!
Good job buddy!!
Great job job
You doing a great showing me how to do this and thank you
You’re welcome
great job!!!
That's a very smart young man intelligent 👍👍👍
Thanks for always answering everybody's questions it's always appreciated and just want to say thanks. I was just wondering why do you install just the one bolt on the starter when putting the engine back in?
Hehehe because it’s the only one I can reach from the top. I had to go from underneath to do the other.
@@iamdjnam thanks. Doing my first engine and just trying to get everything together and I was just wondering why thanks. I've already watched all your videos twice
Excellent video
Thank you much appreciated
@@iamdjnam I was thinking how to fabricate something to allow me to tilt the engine on my cherry picker... Harbor Freight, duh.
@@timcombs7646 works absolute wonders
Молодец! я тоже на днях это сделал один, полностью поменял все цепи снял и поставил мотор,👍👍👍👍
дуже добре! це був дуже задіяний проект. Дякую за перегляд!
Nice Job
Chris PLACE Thank you!
I love a 4.0
Excellent vidio,,I learned a lot,I have a2006 with a 4.0 that I have to do the same thing too, I hope .ine comes out as well , Excellent Job thank you 28:52
Great job.! I´m not a mechanic, but i love cars, and fixing my cars issues once in a while. Can you do one video on how to fix, clean or repair fuel injectors of same 4.0 2006, Ford Explorer SOHC? Sorry for my english, I live in Tijuana, B.C. Mex. Thumbs up!
Your English is perfect! For sure, I’ll definitely make a video in the future. Thanks for watching :)
What would cause a crank no start after replacing timing chains?
It turned on and sounded good.. i pulled it out of the garage and parked it to let it idle. It cut off randomly. It did run fine before it turned off. Ran for about 5 mins.
Your videos are really well-thought out and excellently presented. I'll be replacing the fuel-pressure sensor on my '05 soon, and everyone complains it's a PITA to reinstall the last T30 bolt on the rear of the intake manifold. Do you have any tips on doing that?
Use a T30 with a 6” wobbly extension and a 3/8 ratchet. Not a swivel adapter, the extension is rounded at the end allowing some play. With that combination it’s mad easy.
@@iamdjnam Many thanks! I love those wobbly extensions.
Great Job on the Engine installation video, I love detail. It is similar to a Ford Ranger. Do you have one of the 4.0L SOHC installation on a Ford Ranger?
I refuse to touch a Ranger.
Hi what is the function of the black connector (pa/sps-gf20) on the left side (time 25:31) at the bottom of the freon / ac canister (sorry im not a mechanic) mine was stripped and need to be replaced.
Good. ( Great video). Alex,c.
Hey boss I really appreciate the video, and chance you know the bolt size that is used in the back of the motor for lifting, the (shorter bolt) mentioned in the video
It’s an m10x1.5. Length depends on what chain you’re using
Hey My brottha You think i can use a zipbelts ..i don't wanna use chain ( i don't have it and i don't wan take a Lot of parts You think that is posible??
Alright getting a lot closer to finishing and she fired up. However I am getting a serious smoke problem. It isn’t a fluid burning I don’t think, but i can’t see exactly where from. It looks like from the exhaust but the smoke is billowing from around the intake area. No leaks from the coolant system or oil which is a plus. Is it normal for the engine to burn off stuff when first firing it back up?
Yes it’s normal to have some smoke, shouldn’t have much more than seen in this video. Make sure it isn’t an electrical harness burning.
Nicely done!
If doing this inside, what minimum ceiling clearance is needed for the engine lift. Thanks
I do these in my garage all the time. Take all the slack out of the chain. It will be able to clear a standard garage door.
@@iamdjnam thank you for your prompt reply and your selflessness in helping others, especially during these times
Dude for a young man I think your pretty sharp...I been doing this kind of stuff since I was 15 years old and I'm 61 now...and I've done alot of amazing stuff myself...having said that I've never dealt with such a pain in the ASS until I ran into this 4.0 that ford engineered. It's a fairly good engine when it's right but there is so much shit to go wrong with it. I prefer to work on the small block Chevrolet V8 any day over this 4.0 crap...but u seem to be pretty dam good at what u do...I'm impressed and it takes alot to impress me...sincerely Rob Steeves A.K.A TripleM...if u read this ask me what TripleM actually means and I would love to tell you...ull get a kick out of it.
Do the bolts for the flexplate/flywheel need thread sealant? Or will blue loctite do? Someone told me thread sealant is required or it will leak oil.
They’re wrong. I use nothing. Just torque them down to spec.
I have explore and the engine seized can you help me put another in?
Hello. Great video brother. I have same truck. All my wires to maf sensor and injectors and wires to the alternator are all frayed and chipping plastic. I tried to just electric tape them but when i move them the engine shuts off. Will the while engine have to come off to replace that harness? Thanks.
The engine doesn’t need to come out but you should cut the harness wrap and just splice in new connectors.
Ford engine and transmission share the same harness so you need to unplug transmission too. It costs a fortune to replace
The wires touch and the engine shuts off. It's literally 50+ wires. That's y I'm thinking replacing the harness because it's got to be like that all over. The further I look the more I find. Thanks for the quick response.
How to install a 4.0 SOHC. Step 1: Determine vehicle needs a timing chain or head gasket prior. Step 2: Clean it up and sell vehicle. Step 3: Buy same Explorer with 4.6. Step 4: get knob polish.
Lol alright you do you
Great work and by far the best on the Ford 4.0!!!! 👍👍👍👍. You make it look easy.
Thank you! I’ve got these swaps down to a day, know these steps by heart now :)
I don’t know if I said thank you or not but let me take the time to thank you and so should any other aspiring mechanic. Do you have Patreon? I don’t got a lot of money that’s for sure but I feel like I owe you min. a case of beer.
You don't owe me anything. I appreciate you watching the video, and I'm glad that I was able to help. There sure isn't a lot of info on the explorers (4.0) and thats why I started doing these in the first place. Any questions don't hesitate to ask.
Awesome you really know your way around these 4.0's. I messaged you a few days ago and I have to ask. My top driver side timing chain guide has come apart. I'm told you have to pull the engine to replace it. After watching your rebuild video, I'm think it woud be possible to replace ths timing chain and guide without pulling the engine? I know a complete rebuild make sense but I can't afford this at this time. This engine has 270,000 miles on it, but runs and sounds perfect except for the timing chain issue. Your thoughts wouls be appreciated. Thanks
Watch my newest 4.0 video on how to replace the front chains. Engine can stay in the vehicle.
Runs like butter. Ours have a 🔧 💡 on check engine 💡 as well. The wrench light comes on disables cruise control while on highway causing it to run faster and engine hesitant to accelerate when my foot on the gas pedal. What could be the problem? 2009 xlt 4.0l v6 5 speed.
Accelerator pedal position sensor, TPS, any of the wheel hub units defective. Get the codes scanned.
Mr Platinum. Is it possible to install the engine with the intake and exhaust manifolds on the engine? I'm trying to install as much as possible on the engine, then install it. Thanks for your help.
You can install the engine with the exhaust manifolds on. The intake must be removed so you can plug in all your connectors for the harness :)
ford ranger slightly different for accessories and unfortunately i think the bay is a little smaller but about the same, this is helpful, but it makes me want to discharge my AC for the extra room...
The bay is definitely smaller. The plenum is different, harness is confusing, things all over the place. That’s why I literally won’t touch a ranger. I can have an engine out of an explorer in 3 hours.
Godsend
Appreciate the support bro!
Any tips on removing the passenger side exhaust manifold?
Passenger side is easier than the drivers side. 13mm with a breaker bar. Hit the nuts with MAP gas, count to 20 and you’ll be good.
It looks like there is plenty of room to put the exhaust on before puting the engine in. Or does it get in the way when aligning the engine to the transmission?
You can’t see the torque converter studs with it on. I’ve done it before but it’s quicker in the end to leave them off
@@iamdjnam I now found out it's best to leave them off, because the starter is easy to get to with them off. More space to work things around. I was tempted to put them on first, but I decided to hold off on that. Glad I did.
Any tips on a 4.6 getting converter studs to line up
Get the flywheel down into the bell housing. Use a curved end crowbar to spin the converter through the bottom. If i remember correctly down by the oil pan there’s some access where that little shield goes.
I have a bit of a weird question here. I am putting a 4.0L in a Ranger and I see that your AC compressor is more at an angle rather then straight across like mine is. Do you know if they changed up brackets at all between the years? (I didn't realize the 4.0 I was putting in was an Explorer engine until I was having issues with getting the AC to clear the battery tray
Chances are they’re different. They explorer engine bay is much bigger than the ranger.
Where do you buy your parts car?
Does anyone know the name of the hose at 26:06, I cannot find it under any names
So how about swapping out my engine on my 2006 ranger?
I can provide engine but i can't do it because of my age and physical issues
No sorry, don’t work on others vehicles.
Where do the ground wire go
Hello, I have a 2010 Ford Explorer and recently got work done to the engine. However, when I received back from the shop we noticed it vibrate on idle but does not vibrate when cruising/driving around. I was wondering if you have an idea what it could be
Check the harmonic balancer. The weights break off inside of it.
Super beginner question: Can I install this (Explorer) engine to my 07 Explorer Sport Trac V6?
Yes
What can be done to give the 4 l, more horsepower
Port the heads, bore the cylinders. Long tube headers and a tune.
Been fighting installation for a month on an "03 can't find any videos on engine harness placement; gen 3s are the worst, helphelphelp, lol help.
Send some pics on the Facebook page. Ford 4.0L SOHC owners group.
How many miles on the engine ?
Getting things bolted on… ordered a new bolt for harmonic balancer and got a 6A340-B which measures 51mm long instead of the 72mm? I got it from a dealer? What part number should it be? Thx
E7RY-6A340-B
Thanks my first 4 digits were different from yours and my bolt was about an inch shorter. Try to find some one who has it tomorrow. Well thx again you make it look so easy but then again I’m 67!
What kit do you use? I don’t wanna pay a shit ton but want it to last. Th aks

my project is swapping a 2001 4-l into a 2006 4-l. what are the problems with this swap?
Nothing. It will be a direct fit. Good luck!
Are Ranger 4.0L engines the same across those years?
Yes
2005 sport Trac 4.0. Just replace the engine but I never noticed an engine ground. There's one on the firewall near the PCM connection but nothing on the block that I remember. Do you know where the engine ground would be on this vehicle
There’s 2. One goes to starter the other goes from back of cylinder head to firewall.
@@iamdjnam thanks. I sure didn't see cylinder head to firewall.
I’ve taken this engine out 3times doing a install the torque converter I’m not all the way threw the wholes first I thought I wasn’t all the way back now I’m wondering is the transmission bad ? Or does the torque not go all the way back ? HEEEELLLLPPP MEEEEE
What size are the bolts you use for the exhaust?
M8x1.5 studs to the head, 1/2” stainless x 3.5” for the flange
You sir are a magician/wizard ... I have had to deal with installing this engine in the 2001-2007 Rangers and they're nothing short of a proverbial nightmare. BTW ... How did you keep from snapping the exhaust manifold studs off? I heated mine up with a torch and some of them still broke off.
Thank you for your kind words. I use MAP gas. If they break off I have a stud extractor tool.
@@iamdjnam You're welcome ... I used map gas too but this was a 2007 Ranger from Northern W.V. and it took on a lot of salt so needless to say, every nut and bolt was rusted on. I saw one of those stud extractors at NAPA and I was going to get it until I saw they wanted $52 for it.
@@jonathanbox3033 Amazon $24
@@iamdjnam WOW ... I'm taking a trip to Amazon :-)
Use air impact. No one break. I have bad winter weather.
Just wrapped up my 4.0 project and it works GREAT largely due to your excellent video. So THANK YOU! Now that its back together I found one oil leak. Oil is dripping from the pass side tensioner right onto the exhaust manifold. So it wreaks, but at least its burning off and not making my engine gunky lol! Anyway, I have the tensioner torqued correctly, and I do have the washer installed with it. I'm wondering if there's something else I should be doing there to prevent the oil from leaking? Gasket? Sealant? Any thoughts?
Don’t use anything except the crush washer. The mating surface may be nicked or the washer not fully centered. You can try cleaning the surface with a fine fine fine fine emery cloth at your own risk! Aluminum is very easy to scratch!
@@iamdjnam Gotcha!
Just be careful cuz the torque spec on those is only 32ft lbs. you don’t want to pull threads out of the head. Usually when they leak the washer isn’t centered.
Did you use an aftermarket timing kit, or OEM?
Aftermarket.
ok good
I have an 03 explorer that I got from someone. I do not know the history on it. I took the passenger side valve cover off and one of the valve springs is broke and the valve seams stuck. I assume it got bent. Everything else looks good. I am going to take the head off and I am hoping I can just replace the valve and spring, put a new head gasket on and drive off into the sunset. Do you to think that would work?
Absolutely! Amazon sells cheap ass headgasket kits that are actually very very good quality. Make sure your timing cassettes are good.
@@iamdjnam thank you. As far as the cassettes, the part I can see from taking the valve cover off looks perfect
I'm having trouble lining up 2 torque converter bolts. One bolt is almost aligned center and the other above it is half aligned, tips on getting converter bolts aligned?
The angle is wrong. Tilt the engine back or lower the trans a little.
@@iamdjnam After much tilting and shifting I decided to pull the motor back up and check the flywheel. It wasn't the same from a 2007 mustang to a 2006, the holes were slightly off so I had to swap flywheels. It's all bolted up now thanks for replying
@@briancraft777having the same problem kinda might need to take a better look..
The ground wire coming from the fire wall. Where did that bolt up too
right above the exhaust manifold. 10mm bolt. I think its above the 2nd runner.
@@iamdjnam Is that the spot it needs to go. Are can it bolt to the back of the passenger side cylinder head. Also can you check out my video of the issue i am having and maybe comment with your thoughts. ruclips.net/video/rq4dJqT_sRU/видео.html
I had someone put in a use 4.0L engine in my 07 explorer but the engine doesn't turn on now obviously the mechanic i hired doesn't know what he's doing but I did talk to some mechanics and they said something about resetting the ignition
No such thing as resetting the ignition. The mechanic messed up.
That part between the engine and transmission is called the flex plate.
rob peters thanks for clarifying. I always thought the flexplate was bolted to the crankshaft (torque converter studs go through it too).
Flexplate is for a manual transmission Flywheels for automatic transmission. Both of those bolts up to the engine between either the clutch or converter. And that piece of metal spacer or shim is called a piece of $#!÷@ that keeps falling off. That's what I call it
It’s a turd isn’t it…. Sometimes takes longer to keep that in place than it does to actually get the engine running again.
Yeah one of the many wonderful things that automakers do for us to keep the blood flowing and to keep beer off the shelves. I'm doing one right now
@@turdferguson1915 You got it ass-backwards... a manual transmission has a flywheel and an automatic has a flex plate.
Question I'm replacing my exhaust manifold and the felpro kit came with two little green sleeves, do you know where those go? Do you know what size studs and nuts are a good replacement for the exhaust manifold bolt? I can't for the life of me find where those green sleeves go
The studs and nuts are M8x1.25. I buy the stainless kit online for the 4.6L they fit perfect. I’ve never in my life come across those sleeves.
@@iamdjnam also when I took my manifold off all the studs stayed in there, only the nuts came off.
Get a stud extractor
@@iamdjnam thanks a million
I’m currently in the middle of removing the engine in my 2010 explorer I’ve got all of my bolts out the starter is out and the torque converter ones as well but it’s still stuck together how did you separate the two??
8 bellhousing, 2 starter, 4 torque converter. Pry from wheel well using long crowbar in between engine and trans.
@@iamdjnam oh we may have missed them then cause we only counted 6 bolts from the bell housing I believe
@@iamdjnam I’ve looked and can’t find any more bolts it still will not separate 🤦♂️🤔

Hey I have a question, I am rebuilding a 4.0 it over heated, when I go to put the camshaft in they are hard to turn do you think the head shrink, this is my first 4.0 built
Take it to a machine shop and have them check for warpage. Cams toques down should not be super tight to turn. Whenever an engine I’m working on has over heated badly, I always find a donor motor and start fresh. Lots of things can go wrong with heat.
@@iamdjnam ok Kool, that was my first thoughts, the motor only have 75k that why I choose to rebuild
@@iamdjnam thanks for tip
Does the transmission need to be in neutral when you doing the torque converter bolts?
No
@@iamdjnam I just changed the timing chain set and put the engine back in trying to put the torque converter nuts back in but the engine isn't turning manually. I didn't spin it before installing it back in, hoping I don't have to take it back out 😫
Yeah something is locked. That’s not good.
@@iamdjnam I guess I might have to take it out again. Thanks for the videos
Always rotate to make sure everything is good. You probably have a valve hitting a piston.
I have a 94 Mazda b4000 I tryed everything like vacuum leaks but truck still runs like crap and when I slow down my truck just dies out any ideals what's going on thanks
94 is an OHV engine. I’m not familiar with it. Sorry.
