  • Today we finish off the rotating assembly on our ‪@SummitRacing‬ sponsored Ford 5.4L 3V build! This is a full tutorial where I show ever single nut and bolt on how to rebuild this engine and get it running in your truck! This is really shaping up nicely and the Summing Racing rods are a nice upgrade for us.

    i have only been building mod motors for 4 years but this is the best assembly video i have ever seen. This is now my go to learning tool for all of my future builds. Thank you!

    I have 15 and 16 clearance on my piston rings, is it too tight? Is it necessary to open them more? That's my question, thank you very much for your good videos.

      Depends on the make. Refer to the manufactures spec that came with your rings. Thanks for watching!

    Great video, but I have a question regarding ring placement. I'm using OE Ford Rings ( 6L3Z-6148-A). I can't tell which ring goes on top and which goes in the 2nd groove. There is a ring with green paint by the gap and the OD of the ring is dark/black in color. The other ring has yellow paint by the gap and the OD of the ring is a machined look to it. Both have a dimple/dot to indicate topside. Do you know if which ring I need to put in the top slot? Thanks and I enjoy watching your videos.

    Is there a such thing as a rebuild kit that comes with everything youll need to rebuild? Sorry if thats a stupid question lol

    I have a question. I have dnj piston rings, the instructions state a 0.003-0.004 for every bore inch. My bore is 3.572 which is .010 to .014 ring gap. Should I go by this or go by your .018 and above ring gap?

    Inam thinking about swapping out my 4.6 3v out for a 5.4 3v but am wondering if the 5.4 3v rods and pistons are the same hp and torque rating?

    Any reason you went with king bearings on the rods and clevite on the mains?

    • @2carpros
      @2carpros  3 месяца назад

      The same King bearings for the rods were back ordered for 6 months and I didn't want to wait. The Clevite ones are really good too and are of the same tri metal blend as the King's. Thanks for watching!

    I install the Pistons but the crankshaft isn't moving I tighten the bolts like you did and everything

    • @2carpros

      Then something isn't machined enough. Take it apart and plastigauge for tolerances. Thanks for watching!

    OLÁ. Houve um ERRO de tradução. A palavra correta é "olhar bastante" e não "desperdiçar óleo". Nota-se que provavelmente nada aproveitarei de seu vídeo ABRAÇOS... Roberto Udo Krapf
