    Whatd you put on the bolt end when reinstalling the water pump? Silicone gasket maker? 12:50

    Is that the same 6.6 (400) engine used in the 1979 Lincoln Mark V?

      @@joseduranjr4963 yes it's the same block but there are different components from the cars. The truck engines had unique parts including pistons for different compression ratios from the car engines, truck specific intake and exhaust manifolds, camshaft with more lift, and timing set that did not retard the camshaft timing.

    Is the exhaust valve supposed to be down or up?

    do you have to take off the oil pan?

    • @jacobsupgrades
      @jacobsupgrades  11 месяцев назад +1

      Unfortunately yes. The pan bolts up to the bottom of the timing chain cover and there's a rubber gasket between. You could try without pulling the pan but I'm not sure how you would seal it after. You'll have to pull the dip stick tube and starter to get all the pan bolts off and jack body up to get full suspension drop to pull the pan out. It was tight. By the time I was done with my build I think pulling the motor would be an easier route getting the new pan seals to seat right is a pain.

      @@wolfiebiomech7313 you can pull the pan without pulling the engine. You have to jack the front end up so the suspension can be at full drop in order to manuver the pan out around the oil pump and front axel. You'll have to take the starter and dipstick tube off too.

    How long did it take?

      @jacobsupgrades  11 месяцев назад

      It's hard to give you a true estimate cause I was working on other things when doing this. If you had all the seals and new chain and gears ready you might be able to pull it off in a day or two.
