BROKEN F150 IN AUSTRALIA ! Budget Truck Makeover plus repairs 5.4 3v cam phasers and timing chains
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 мар 2024
- This episode we have a Ford F150 with the dreaded Cam phaser and timing chain problems on a 5.4 3 valve engine , i bought it as a cheap truck project / build to do the repairs and a budget makeover / transformation . Newer than the classic car rescues and revivals we normally do but i had a bit of fun with this one ( and some headaches too) . The surprising bit is that is Right Hand Drive and in Australia !
A quick thanks to ( although he doesn't know me ) Brian @FordTechMakuloco most of my knowledge on these motors came from his videos.
Something different this episode but i couldn’t let an F-series ford rot . Thanks for watching and please visit backshed.net.au for merchandise.
A bit of a thanks (Although he doesn’t know me ) too Brian @FordTechMakuloco most of what i know of these motors is because of him🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺👍👍👍
Yep, another awesome vid Mik luvin the content your putting out there. Hey my apologies if you get this question ask alot but any idea when your flannel shirts will be in stock?
@@jp245 yeah sorry mate they did sell out pretty quite , we will start getting stock again now coming into the cooler weather mate cheers🍺🍺👍
Yeah ok sweet, I’ll keep a lookout for em 🤙
@backshed5295 how do I get a shirt mate

I love your vids man. Most YT'ers would break a single one of your vids into a 12 month mini-series. With you, we get awesome content at a movie length. We enthusiasts are appreciative of your efforts. Thanks man!
Too kind mate 🍺🍺👍
My TAFE teacher said 1st day
"Somewhere sometime a mechanic rooted an engineer's wife and they've been making us pay ever since"I rekon he worked at FORD..NIce truck Mick
Hahhahah maybe🍺👍🤣
Hi Mike. Probably the best move you've done in shifting to a newer model vehicle to play with. Some of that older stuff you fix are getting rarer to find and more pricey to boot. Good thing you keep to the budget mindset like most of us mortals..
Cheers mate 🍺🍺👍
Mick love your work as always.. don’t change a thing… this channel is perfect!
Too kind mate🍺🍺👍
Totally agree!
@@pauledginton cheers mate🍺👍
Really enjoyed this project. 4:22 "Automatic closing bonnet!" Classic Aussie wit at its best. Great looking truck!!!!!
Cheers mate🍺🍺👍
Absolutely smashed it. Must be your best video yet. Bloody entertaining and you got the family involved. Lots of hard work and we all appreciated the effort that you have put it.
Cheers Mark i appreciate ya saying mate🍺🍺👍
Vicegrip Garage will be very proud of you!!! @35min
Ill have to watch it back and see why mate🍺🍺👍
Ahh i see now hahhaha , all the vice grips holding the cams in place hahhhaha . 🍺🍺👍
A bit off paint on the wheels and that grill brought it right around, all that technology would hurt my brain but your right just take your time, awesome job Mick!
Cheers mate 🍺🍺👍
Mick your commitment to getting it done right is commendable 👌💯 brilliant episode as always, I caught a glimps of my own reflection when I saw the dashboard out the car😂😂 wasn't expecting that... bit of a wtf happened here moment😂 Well done tho great work, truck looks awesome love the self closing hood/guillotine 😂 keep em coming mate look forward to the next one 👍 great channel
Cheers Carl i appreciate ya sayin mate , yeah there was plenty of work in that dash 🍺🍺👍
“This is gunna be mint, ish, kinda” 😂 love it
Hahahha yeah that just fell out of my head at the time but i see a new sticker there hahahhah🍺🍺👍
I was a test driver on the first RHD ford f150 prototype. The conversion is well done. Really enjoyed driving it.
100% mate , my truck will be here shortly🍺🍺👍
Great work Mick, you bought that F-truck back from certain death in a junkyard. Your an "old school" mechanical wizard. Rivetting viewing mate, cheers.
Cheers mate i really appreciate ya saying 🍺🍺🍺👍
Yeah Mick, your no worries, give it ago attitude is inspirational.
Very cool you saved the truck.
@@dusty8026 cheers mate🍺🍺👍
Your right here in the states broken 5.4 are a dime a dozen. I just got rid of a Expedition because of Phazers and no one wants to work on them and after seeing you fix that one I'm glad I didn't try. Good job!
Cheers mate yeah it was a job🍺🍺👍
That grill changed the whole look of the truck. The wheels look great. Amazing transformation Mick. A beersie well earned I think. Cheers mate, Phil NZ.
Thanks Phil i do really appreciate ya saying mate , yeah i agree , she looks sharp now hahha🍺🍺👍
Not too sure why you don't have more subscribers but know this won't be the case for too long! Just wanna say I reallly enjoy your channel Mick and that watching it motivates me to get out ther and twist a few spanners and beer bottle tops too (after the spanner twisting of course)! 🔧🛠🍺🍻🤠
Hahah cheers mate , as for the subscribers mate i havent really been around that long mate , itll come 🍺🍺👍👍
Hey Mic, I didn't think I would like this episode being such a new vehicle BUT... You nailed it yet again. On a side note, you didn't tell us your boy went with the coolant stain? It was great to see the whole family get into it with you mate. Thanks for all your hard work bringing us your awesome content!!!
Yeah something different mate hahah, the family went hard on the cleaning to help out 🍺🍺🍺👍
@@backshed5295 Have a great Easter mate!
You too mate🍺🍺👍
Fab job, Michael!! Keep the technical talk coming, I'm learning a lot. Thankyou so much. Loving your channel.
Cheers i appreciate ya saying and watching 🍺🍺👍
I’m not keen on the new trucks but somehow you’ve convinced me mate and made my brain start thinking mmmm maybe… cheers again for an awesome 2hr episode of fun and games mixed with a heap of hilarious commentary and real mechanical knowledge 👍👍👍
Yeah i hear ya mate im not doing too many new cars but i couldnt let it rot . Cheers for hanging in there too watch 🍺🍺👍i do appreciate it mate
When I was at Stillwell Ford I used to hate working on these 3Vs they were an optional engine on the falcon and Fairlane and spark plug replacement always ended with a few choice words and tears !
Yeah “ snap!” Hhahah . Good motor but phasers gave them a bad name 🍺🍺🍺😜
Those 5.4L Engines are notorious for blowing out the passenger side back two Spark Plugs. Ripping out the Threads when the Plug blows out. There's a rethreading kit to put inserts back into the Head. Same method, lots of Grease on the Tap when cutting the new larger hole & new threads for the Insert. Done lots of these. Water drips down into the Coil Boot/Spark Plug holes on the same rear two Cylinders.
👍🍺
How did i miss this video notification?! Not a ford man nor into 4bys, but always a good watch down in the backshed with Uncle Mick!
Cheers mate 🍺🍺
Looks better without the side steps that you didn't mention about, great episode even though it was a modern pick-up, you must be pleased with the result, it came out great
Cheers mate🍺🍺👍
Friday & a Backshed Video with a Cup of Tea (Beer later) good job by you & your Family mate 👍
Cheers mate🍺👍
The family looked keen for this one Mick. I wonder if they will let you sell this one? It turned out looking really good in the end and it sounds nice as well. I liked this vintage of build as much as the older ones.
Yeah thanks mate i appreciate ya saying , bit newer than i normally buy but i do love f-series fords .🍺🍺👍
Mate - you had me going there for a bit. I was waiting for that engine to start chucking things out from under the bonnet the way it sounded. Never heard of those cam-whatsits, but I suppose every modern engine will have a variation on the theme with the modern propensity for variable valve timing. Just goes to show that you still need a mechanical mind to sort through the bolt-on bullshit to find the culprit and sort him out. Man, those timing chains were tired - and I've never seen guides do that either. Makes you wonder what happened. Age? Well, half a million km ain't a spring chicken, so I suppose anything's possible.....but listen to the thing roar once she was all back together!
....and then you tidied her up. HUGE Kudos to your family, mate. You wouldn't believe a before and after were the same truck - honestly! The steering wheel - yep, have had to something similar with my daughter's Mazda 3 steering wheel. I ain't no seamstress either, but the steering wheel looks SO much better with a cover on - even if both of our stitching could have been a bit better, but you live and learn, eh? You got the colour choice spot on for it though!
Same with those alloy wheels. When you briefly suggested black, I grumbled under my breath. I cannot stand black wheels unless they are steel and under a hubcap. To me, wheels and stance make the car and you can never see black wheels properly as they blend in too much with the wheel wells and tyres - especially on the side of the car that's in shadow. Looks naff to me, but seems to be a fad for them at the moment though. I like the gun-metal colour - spot on again, mate. Draws your eyes to the stance but don't make a statement of their own like leaving them that goldy-silver would have. I had a feeling she'd buff up well too - and the completed package just makes the F150 look half her recorded mileage at a maximum.
She looks good, goes well, sounds magnificent and doesn't belch smoke. What else could you want? Well, me, I might titivate the exhaust so it rumbles a bit more and change the shocks out for something a bit firmer just to take the pudding out of the ride but not stiffen it up like a track car. She's still got to be comfortable to ride in......and with the budget reduced by not having to rebuild the beast, I reckon I could afford to do that. However, she's still a beaut and if I had no more budget for a while, I'd certainly be happy with it just as it is! Again, you'd never know what's on the odometer if you saw / heard that F150 coming down the road toward you!
Reckon she'll do the other half million km before needing a rebuild?
I hope shes got a lot more in her mate thats for sure🍺🍺🖕
Just in time for the long weekend.... I'm set. Eggcellent!
Cheers mate🍺🍺👍
Well done mate Awesome job👍🙂🚘🚗
Cheers mate🍺🍺👍
I really enjoyed this video Mick. I have a 2004 F250 5.4 litre 300,000km still going strong without cam chain issues(fingers crossed). I was watching with interest. Great result with your 150. Nice mix up from the 60s & 70s.
Cheers mate🍺🍺
Good job Mick .Fixed it up & @ a good price . Kinder disappointed that the motor wasn't completely RS. & you said f@#k let's put a Barra in it . That would make great series. & a great truck.
Hahahha
Got a barra coming soon though mate 🍺🍺👍
I was waiting for the milk create to slide out from under your feet and send you into the engine bay. I’ve have done it and I just put the milk create back next to the wheel and hope straight back on it👍
Hahhaa yep🍺🍺👍
You’re a genius, Mick. An entertaining and informative couple of hours. Thanks ✌️
Cheers mate🍺🍺👍
Damn,a good looking truck.
Cheers mate 🍺🍺👍
I see you paint wheels fairly often, Vice Grip garage in their last dentside F100 giveaway resto video showed a neat trick using a garbage bag to mask up your tyres and save a lot of time and tape. Enjoyed the vid thanks
I will take a look mate🍺🍺👍
Nice job.....
Quick fix for your headlights.
Sand with wet and dry and finish on the finer grit. Apply clear coat. They will be as good as new (ish).....
Be perfect for your truck mate.
Cheers mate🍺🍺👍
Can't wait to watch your videos when they come out very entertaining mate keep up the good work 👍🍺
Cheers mate🍺🍺👍
Awesome episode Mick. Cool truck man👍🍻
Cheers mate🍺🍺👍
Great vid Mick, had to take a break to watch the footy, but it came up awesome. Next one can you show us your method for cleaning up the headlights? Sparkling headlights make the front of a car I reckon 👌
I will mate , its just 2000sand paper and a fine buffing compound 🍺🍺👍 ill do it on my other truck
Cummon' mate where's the dragways or cragars' lol. Awesome video champ! Still waiting on a HKTG VID! 😂
Hahaha yeah we are back on the old stuff next episode mate🍺🍺👍
Thanks Mick. Best fun Ive had in days
Cheers mate🍺🍺👍
Mick that change to the front grill just makes the look, well done mate
Cheers mate🍺🍺👍
The family cleaning up was great but then the young bloke continued with the carpet stain. What was he thinking? "I want this. Dad better keep it until I'm allowed to drive."
Hahahaa yeah maybe mate 🍺🍺
Another great video backdoor, I would have gone the gunmetal wheel colour on both the front grilles to match, black kinda just looks like it doesn't match anywhere, but apart from that fantastic transformation.
Cheers mate🍺🍺👍
Hi mick that would be a great truck for your farm and daily use love your work cheers mate
Thanks Brett🍺🍺👍
Hi Mick working on this Yank Tank as the old school guys label them was a little beauty to watch, I just know how much cussing you did off camera working on modern computerized vehicles, most viewers just don't know you almost spent the same time in research getting your head around the electronics' of this repair. Well done! Your passion is infectious as even your own family caught the bug. I know I did Thank you for sharing your time with us.😊
Way too kind mate 🍺🍺👍Thankyou
Thanx bro. Got couple of hours to watch.
Cheers mate🍺🍺👍
Shifter bushes for a BA falcon will fix the broken bush. Cheap from parts place
Sweet mate thanks ill look that up🍺🍺👍
@backshed5295 white one goes at shifter end. Soften in hot water before trying to press it in. Done a few over the years fixing customers falcons
Cheers mate🍺🍺👍
Was just coming to say this!
@@Imharv94 cheers mate🍺🍺👍
Awesome watch mate , you’ve done well, hopefully we’ll see that old Land Cruiser tray in the background on a future vid . 🐣🍻
Haha its coming mate 🍺🍺👍
Came up a treat Mick great job it's a pleasure to watch your episodes. What's next on the list?
Cheers mate i really appreciate you watching , as for whats next ? Where do i start?
Loving the video's... quality watching time mate.... well done.
Cheers mate🍺🍺👍
Yet another great video Mick, love watching all your fix up cars and how you get them going again and save another one from the scrap yard.
Cheers Roachy i appreciate ya saying mate🍺🍺👍
You’re a bloody legend Mick! Love your vids and looking forward to see the next car your fixing! 👍
Cheers mate thanks 🍺🍺👍
THAT RIG SUITS YA BIG TIME MICK!!💥👍💪
Cheers mate 👍🍺
My daily drive is a 2002 f250 5.4 xlt so your right its my type o truck
Well done, had a bmw e36 m3 with vanos,ie variable valve timing,probably old school now but they got 350 horsepower out of 3.2 litres naturally aspirated,that’s imperial horsepower.
Know that nothing nowadays but there were 3 bolts that needed to be changed and torqued to spec every 80 k, if you didn’t they could break and you’d blow oil overboard at 100 psi, empty the sump in seconds.
Been there like ur work .
Cheers mate🍺🍺👍
Omg!!!, Mick, just in time for Easter. Wow some fidgety bits. What an interesting ep. Love F trucks, love old pick ups ,pre 2000's.
You belted this one out of the park, gr8 to see the whole tribe chip in, really gr8(your banter never fails). This came out clean and streetable. Not sure on the grill and mags?? By the end( of ep, yeh, cool) I'd drive it. Cheers I really look forward to your posts,GR8
Cheers mate 🍺🍺👍
They're a big unit mate, you look like a kid driving it :-)
Hahahah 🍺🍺👍
480 lota kms glad ya fixin it. Cheers great vids
Yeah few lms mate but she drive great now 🍺🍺👍
Smashed it again but i would have to paint that gold trim round the bottom black 💯
Ya never know mate i might just do that🍺🍺👍
Amazing the difference a quick tuneup and wash will make. What an absolute bastard of a job. You did well Michael. No wonder we like 60s and 70s stuff 😊😂
🍺🍺👍👍
Good job mick. Nothing wrong with mixing it up. Win or loose. 4x4 could be fun. I remenber when they was brand new in America. Walk in the dealer. Sign the dotted line drive out. Make the payment..300 to 400usd per month. What you do with it now. Have a good weekend. 👍👍🍺🍺
Cheers mate .
I will sell this one mate , ive got a 2valve 5.4 already as my daily driver 🍺🍺👍
Bloddy brilliant work; outstanding result. And a highly entertaining video - love your style.
Cheers mate🍺🍺👍
So my best mate has a 2004 F250 extra cab with the same motor.
Has now done 350,000ks and internals never touched. Just well serviced and looked after. Admittedly it's done minimal towing over its life. He is now considering a 7.3 Godzilla conversion.
Sweet ! Love to put a godzilla in something $$$$🍺🍺👍
Some1 buy the man a beer awesome episode Mick, If a owner payed a shop etc to do that work it would of been a 10k bill, Now the $10 question is what's it worth!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah you heard the man ! Someone buy me a beer hahhaha🍺🍺🍺🍺
I reckon you would benon the money mate at about those dollars , it was alot of time in it .
As for whats it worth ? That depends on if we are talking in USA or Australia
Great job Mick and I like the bird flyby at 2:02:59
Hahha stupid birds 🍺🍺👍
The positions I pull when doing anything under the dash of any car…..
Hahah yep🍺🍺👍😜
Just when I start to think, Mick hasn't posted up for a while. Boom there you are with another cracking epp. Glad you gave credit to the channel you used to research those cam gears. I was thinking to myself how the hell does he know all this shit he doesn't work on new cars normally. Is this one a keeper?
Cheers mate , nah itll be for sale to pay for some older stuff 🍺🍺👍
Love ya work brother!!!! Here's a tip I use on modern engines - zip lock bags for each components and number them, then work backwards in number sequence. One my fav channels, PS. Fk the compressor haha
Hahaha cheers mate 🍺🍺👍
great job michael keep up the good videos love em
Cheers mate🍺🍺👍
I had to replace the blend-door pin on my BA so I know what you went through to get that dash out!!!!! So nice not to find a cracked heater core I am sure!!!!
Yeah mate that was a job thats for sure haha🍺🍺👍👍
Haven't encountered this yet with my BA, but expecting to some time.
Oil changes are critical on those motors . Do them early the older they get and plan chains etc . This ol girl got to 482000km before they failed so id say religious oil changes where made on her 🍺🍺👍
Seriously favourite episode yet!!!! Good work mate, EFFING loved it!!!(pun intended) 😂
Hahhahha cheers mate i appreciate ya saying🍺👍
A massive job, but what a rig!! Yeah, modern F100’s just aren’t that common but I think with Dodge doing ok selling Rams, seems Ford Aus woke up.
Have you thought about respraying the gold trim to silver? I reckon that’d finish it off perfect with the grey wheels and black grill.
Yeah that would look cool Lurch 🍺🍺👍
Thats come up mint, mate!
Makes me want one
Cheers mate🍺👍
Phasor farm style repair. If it works, it's job done 👍
Firstly went "WTF a late model truck on Back shed?" 😮 but great video as always mate.
Thanks
Cheers mate yeah a bit new for me but i couldnt let it rot🍺🍺👍👍
What a Great start to Easter. Cracking a beer after work and watching Backshed what could be better.
Have a great easter my friend 🍺🍺🍺
good episode mate . enjoyed . i once repaired a steering wheel like that with a bicycle inner tube then covered it , lasted well . yours looked good though . dress making class next week with that stitching .
Hahhaha yep maybe i am a seamstress🍺🍺👍👍
Just finished watching this ep today.
Great work on cleaning the grubby interior, fixing the shifter & steering wheel & fixing the engine & heater hose leak.
That engine & engine bay looks like a nightmare wires & shit everywhere.
I enjoyed the vid, keep up the good work Mick👍
That engine & engine
Cheers mate🍺🍺👍
Another great episode, interesting and informative.
Awesome channel, keep them coming mate👍
Cheers mate thanks 🍺🍺🍺👍
Well done Michael, you make it look easy! Getting that car back on the road is a testament to your skills and years of experience. An option for the steering wheel might have been bar tape wrap for drop bars on a push bike as well.
🍺🍺👍
Loved this episode-thankyou. I always learn so much from you 👍
Cheers mate i appreciate ya saying🍺🍺👍
Well done fixing that engine and nice to see it running properly.
Cheers mate🍺🍺👍
Thanks for another great video Mick. And happy Easter to you and your family. Cheers Rob
Thanks Rob i appreciate it , you have a great long weekend too mate🍺🍺👍
Love this rig mate
Cheers Mark 🍺🍺👍
The 5.4 three valves had there issue's the older 4.6 was a work horse it was used in cop cars(Crown Victoria). The trucks were great but the 5.4 issue's made it very expensive to repair but a good mechanic could do the repairs and flip the vehicle and make a few bucks!😊
Hello from New Jersey.
🍺👍
Fantastic! I finally caught up to your latest vids. Love your work and thanks for sharing these excellent vids.
Cheers mate i appreciate ya saying 🍺🍺👍
Awesome mick, your a clever fella. Looks mint mate. Bloody Aussie legend. Can't wait for next one hopefully a holden hq?

Excellent job Mick you sure are versatile
Loved it when all the family pitched in with the cleaning
Cheers MC
Cheers mate🍺🍺👍
Impressed with your steering wheel repair - Ive had a leather cover waiting to be fitted but don't have the guts to make it happen. You made it look easy and I'm inspired by your video. I enjoy your videos - well done mate. P.S. Great to see your family involved!
Give it a crack mate 🍺🍺👍
Love the channel and look forward to seeing the next build mick
Cheers mate heaps more coming 🍺🍺👍
Brilliant MICK,

Thanks for the content Mick, another nice vehicle👍
Cheers mate🍺🍺👍
Luv the real-life approach you share with us. Keep up the awesome content. 👌
Cheers mate🍺🍺👍
Great transformation! Your cam fix should be a good lesson for anybody dealing with that failed tech. GM tried it too on the Caddies and they also fail. Cheers MATE!
🍺🍺👍
Fantastic job . Cheers 😊
Cheers mate thanks🍺👍
Thats what happened to my ba Falcon shifter,I just got a nylon bush off eBay which fits into that dome
Yeah new cable is the alternative,but more expensive solution,you can get metal fittings as well for both ends off the cable
Cheers mate🍺🍺👍
I actually really liked that as a really cool change of pace and subject. Don’t get me wrong, I love the older cars, but that was good.
Thanks mate i appreciate ya saying 🍺🍺👍
Big job all round on this one Mick.
Keep doin’ what ya doin’. Love ya work🤙🏽
Cheers mate🍺🍺👍
As long as she does the job 🤙 turned out pretty good as well 🍻
Cheers mate🍺🍺👍
Not much of a ford man but I’d love to cruise around in that. A great rescue as usual mate. Well done!
Cheers mate , yeah cool is cool regardless of what brand 🍺🍺🍺👍
nice daily driver mate. Great episode hope the wife and kids enjoy it. Love from the fiji mob
