FordTechMakuloco Thank You For The Link 😎👍🏼
Already out of stock! Noooooo
Should I use the 340HV or the 360HV in my 05 F150?
Is that for all 5.4 3v ,no matter the year, we hv a 2010 fx4
FordTechMakuloco What about for the 2-valve?
The '04 F150 mentioned is my truck. It was at 297k and had vct issues along with bad timing chain guides. It has about 305k now and runs like it is almost new. There is no one else who knows more about these 5.4 tritons, keep up the great work!
What did that cost you?
@@chriscall3425 A lot.
Were the timing chain guides original? How many miles now?
I must have the exception to the rule. I have a 2006 F150 5.4 3v with 269,000 miles. Bought it with 54,714 miles on it in 2010. Just changed the plugs for the second time a month ago. Running 5W30 Mobil 1 full synthetic. Switched to 5W30 about 5 years ago due my living in the Deep South and dealing with hot more than cold temps and well before I ever saw any of Brian’s videos. I pulled a fifth wheel travel trailer for 5 years until my wife developed cancer and couldn’t travel anymore. Haven’t pulled it in 4 years now. Bought the trailer well after 100,000 miles so the engine wasn’t new by any means.
I’ve never been OCD about oil changes and obviously not with plug change out either. Still runs absolutely great and I love it. It does require oil topped off before the change is due but doesn’t smoke and it is absolutely dry underneath. I guess I’m just fortunate.
Awesome video - keep these 5.4 3 v videos coming man
I was on the fence on these engines I'm definitely pulling the trigger on one now that I've seen you do countless repairs on them
Good job ! Thanks for the heads up ! I don't own one of these "problem" engines but I love getting new intel on every engine I can.
I have a 2004 F-150 Lariat with the 5.4 that i bought new. Never a problem with this engine (other than the spark plug removal). I now have 198000 miles on it and love it as much today as I did 14 years ago. Oil change every 4000 -5000 miles and use nothing but Motorcraft 5W-20 with the 820S oil filter. Take care of your engine and it will take care of you.
How’s the truck now?
Same I have a 5.4 king ranch 05
it was the same for my dad, never had a problem with it until 230,000 miles, then it start making a noice in the passenger valve cover it was the timing chain
Follow up, his engine died and he no longer drives the truck.
@@thenadonation2664 Do you know him or are you just assuming?
Locked out my phasers 2 years ago because of constant rattling and stalling when warm. Could not find a high volume pump at the time, glad there is finally one available!
Another great video. That was so smart of you to work with another distributor to get those higher-volume pumps to Market. It's impressive how you took it upon yourself to do that.
Excellent. I always look forward to more videos on the old modulars. I have both the 4.6 and 5.4. Just pulled my 4.6 DOHC to have a look in the oil pan , replace rocker arms and lash adjusters. Keep up the good work.
My engine locked up on the highway because of this three weeks after you made this video. Had to put a new engine in that was on BACK ORDER. Going to put this in on it, thanks!
Nice I plan to do a used truck I bought, I made the mistake of putting dorman phasers, there coming so is the oil pump, you've come a long way, your shop has progressed so much since you started out, thanks for all your vids
Great info on the new pump. And who is disliking this video for any reason? Just crazy. Keep up the good work FordTechMakuloco!
I installed the m360 about 2 years ago in my 04 f150 5.4t. Bolted up no problem with around 30k of great performance. Although I can't see the true oil pressure it's nice knowing it's there. The cast iron backing plate is so important any time your over 2k rpm, just do a little research and you'll see why. And the stock pickup tube is fine although several places the interweb says you need a cobra pickup tube that is maybe 1/8" bigger, Iam not constantly bouncing of the Rev limiter.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experience to help out others!! Keep up the amazing videos.
Awesome tips as usual. Impressed with any tech who not agree with how manufacturers are doing things and want to improve designs...
I've got a 4.6 where the oil pressure gauge has been reading low pressure for a long time. I replaced the sensor (twice) with no improvement. It runs fine and passed a NY computer inspection, so I just thought it was a faulty wire. However, I saw your video on the timing chain guide breaking with fragments blocking the oil pump intake causing low pressure and think that this just might be my problem. Ugh.
I've driven it a lot like this and with 240K miles, the engine seems to have a lot of life yet. I believe that in addition to this timing chain guide, I also need to change the phaser units for my cam shafts, that you have so adeptly demonstrated as well.
And just when I thought I had a grasp on all of this, a spark plug blows out. I fixed one two years ago with a helicoil, which has worked great. Of course, I saw your video about torquing down the plugs more than spec in order to prevent blowout the day earlier. What timing.
Anyway, if, (amid all your work), you are able to read any of this, do you think that the engine is worth doing all this work on and have I caused some serious badness by driving it at least eight thousand miles with the pressure low? Again, aside from these issues, the motor runs awesome. Thank you for ANY input you can give. Much appreciated. And if you haven't heard it enough, your channel just rocks. What a gift to be able to impart all this knowledge to eager minds. Peace.
I was able to purchase this M340HV pump from Lethal Performance online. $170.96 shipped. Just installed it two days ago after new timing kit, phasers, water pump, and lash adjusters.
Still putting the engine back together but I’m excited to get it done and running smooth again.
Hi Keith, how is your engine performing with this new pump? have you noticed any changes?
how;s the truck running now?
Did you ever get it running smoothly again
@PRN 123D Do you know why it blew up?
Keith blew the engine up.
Well...thats the cleanest I've seen you in a video.
Spent a lot of time on your videos. R/R timing stuff, cam phasers...yada, yada. Finally shelled out for a new rebuild motor. Gonna drive it until it craps out.
Thanks for all the help.
I don't understand why people talk crap on these motors when I have seen them with 200 thousand plus miles which outlasts a lot of other manufacturers motors out there. Yes I do know all vehicle manufacturers have their own issues with their motors. Awesome channel I have learned a lot from your videos.
Same. I don’t understand the hate. Any timing belted engine requires a timing job at 100k. My 5.4 made it to 158k before it started giving symptoms of needing a timing job.
This is one of the best channels around!
For sure...
Hey Brian, Great Videos, Great Channel. I hope you're making some good money 'cause the value you bring to the channel is substantial.
I've ordered my Ford Timing Set and Melling M340HV Oil Pump to install in my 2010 5.4L 3V (F150) with 200K miles.
Here's my question: I've seen many timing chain tensioners "blown out", both in person, and on RUclips. I was reluctant to install the 80 psi version (M360HV) for this reason. Perhaps those tensioners have been redesigned and it's no longer a problem? I figured 20% more volume at 60psi is still a significant improvement over stock with less risk over creating "new problems". At any rate, I'd like to hear your comments.
Keep up the great work!
Underated channel
Thanks for putting this info out there. You have helped me a ton, as I just bought a 2005 F150. I am doing the timing this week and am pretty sure this will resurrect this truck. You have saved me a bunch of time… much appreciated!
Hey man, as a guy currently rebuilding an entire 3V that grenaded 80miles out of the dealership, how’d it turn out?
Well dang! Wish I could have put this in when I did the timing set, lash adjusters, and roller followers on my '06 GT in late '16. I installed the M340 at least. Just broke 200k a few months ago. I also took your advice and switched over to 5w-30.
Once again, FANTASTIC information Brian. Keep it up. BTW, I love the Ford Tech Makuloco logo you have in the shop. You need to do some shirts and fleeces with the logo on them. I'd buy them ! Cheers A.
Nice info. I hope soon you make a video on installing one of these new oil pumps .
I have a video on the install it is the same for the new HV pumps. Links are listed in the video description.
You deserve another subscriber man and that’s me. I have an 2004 f150 4.6 v8 and the only reason I keep it it’s because the 4.6 engine and 2valves not 3v otherwise I was get another truck. Anytime I have to fix something you videos are very helpful. I hope in one day you have to deal with one of 5.0 coyote engine having that ticking/knocking noise Because I have a problem and most of Ford dealers here in Georgia they don’t want to help too much.Thanks and keep up the good work as always.
I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your videos. I have a question but it requires a little background.
I owned a 05 f-150 4x4 King Ranch. I drove it, trouble free to 135,000 and sold it to a friend of mine. I then purchased a 2013 with the eco boost that I believe that motor was the best and most enjoyable pickup engine I’ve ever owned. However, I really loved the 2005 F-150 King Ranch, the most of any truck I’ve ever owned. Part of it is the real saddle leather that, if cared for properly, lasts and looks great forever.
Anyway, I sold my 2013 and am picking up a 2007 f-150 King Ranch that is in great shape but, it has 180,000 miles on it that has the knocking phasers and a low psi on the rear cylinders.
I’m going to either buy a remanufactured engine and transmission. There are several out there that address the week points in the engine. I’d like to increase the performance, if possible, on the low end torque and if possible mileage. Do you have any recommendations?
I know your busy so completely understand if you don’t have time to delve into my question.
Keep up the great work and videos.
Very valuable info for F-150 owners Thanks man👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Perfect "timing" I am diving into my 04 next weekend for a full timing job.
How do you know you need a timing job?
You’ll hear the timing chain rattle against the tensioner guide until the tensioners build oil pressure and tension the chain. It’ll sound like a rattle for a second or two on cold startup.
Meant to add that the problem comes from the timing chain tensioners bleeding off oil pressure when the engine is off, creating slack on the timing chain.
I just got a 350k mile 5.4 3V, fully rebuilt and got one of these for more oil pressure at low rpm especially
Great. Wish I would of know 2 months ago. Great videos. Helped me out a lot,saved a ton of money doing it myself.
Appreciate the info and knowledge 👏👏👍👍
I've got A 04 5.4L 3v. 241,000 miles. Have had to do only the timing guides and such on it. Never had I have had a oil pressure problem. But if and when I do I'll upgrade to this pump
Super cool, very interested. I got the XLT 2010 5.4 WITH no issue at all. Bought it a year ago,runs great. I don't hot rod it, I wanted to last also at the same time if I got to get up and go I want to get the hell out of there so making little upgrades like this would be worth in the long run
Wow, that’s great. I have a 5.4 2 valve in my 1998 F150 it now has 254,000 miles on it. I put every mile on it with the exception of 3.3 miles when I picked it up from the dealership in October 1997. It has a little knocking on the right at start up, but goes away shortly after. Love your videos.
Are you using the stock Motorcraft FL-820s filter? They have a better drain-back valve than most aftermarket filters and typically help with startup noise.
He's right about the oil filters.
Yours is just tired,probably a little wear on the piston skirts
Great video I own since new a 2002 F150 XLT 5.4 Triton 4x4 with 4 speed auto 135,000 miles
Great job man, I am glad you are doing this for the Ford community. I like how you dig into the problem and find a solution rather than just fixin/changing the broken part. Keep up the great work
Man I cant wait to do the timing set on my truck.. get this thing in therer!
Hey Brian...good to know, thx. Couldn't help but notice your busted knuckles, reassuring to know even pros get that!
This has been needed for a long long time. I too had talked to melling about this years ago and was also told there was no room. glad they figured something out. The standard practice of making the pump gears taller definitely wont work on a crank driven pump. If this would have been around 5-7 years ago I could have saved a lot of engines.
I really like your content coming from a fellow car guy
Wish this video was out 10 days earlier. I just did the timing chain kit with the m360 and new vct solenoids.
The 340hv and 360hv are the same pump. Just the relief valve spring is different. So you won't see a pressure gauge difference until you get above probably 4k rpm. One will max out at 60..other keeps climbing. Since I can go 80mph and the rpms in overdrive are 2200...probably won't relief anyway. That's my take.
Have an 06, bought new & have 237,000 miles on it now. Only issues I've ever had were a few misfires which were fixed with new coils/plugs, had throttle position sensor go bad, & replaced alternator, thats it. Run only synthetic oil & change it every 4000 miles. Been best rig I've ever owned. Guess I've been lucky, knock on wood
Dave M yes very lucky! My 07’ started the phaser knock at 100k and broke timing guides at 115k. Changed the phasers and did a complete timing job on it then sold the SOB. Don’t even get me started on the spark plugs or the RH exhaust manifold I changed.. lol
But good for you though. It’s nice to see someone getting some miles on them.
why the right side manifold? my had both done at 130k and I found in the records that came with it that the right had already been done at 88k wtf?!
You are the Saint of Fords
Just installed a M340HV pump in a low-mile 5.4 that was replacing a bad motor in my '05 F250. From some reports, it can take a little while to prime during cranking. Mine made full oil pressure within 5 seconds of cranking. I did fill the pump with oil completely right before installing however. Definitely a worthwhile upgrade, and if you are doing a timing job it only adds a few minutes anyways. AND ALWAYS REPLACE THE TENSIONERS! The replacement motor in mine had only 46k and was in excellent condition, but one of the OE tensioners was already starting to have seal failure.
What year was the replacement motor? Ford went through a few iterative upgrades on the tensioners over the years. Mine is a 2014 and at 158,000 miles on it, is just now making the startup rattle (tensioner seal bleed).
Thank u so far I've got ford timing kit I ordered this oil pump not what's the best gaskets to put it all back together I wanna bulletproof my 5.4. It's in a Eddie beaur el expedition that's deserves to keep going
Great news. Thanks!
I just bought an 05 Expedition with the 5.4 Triton. I got a really good deal because the guy that sold it to me knew it needed plugs and you could hear the timing chain making noise. He was afraid to tackle the job himself so he unloaded it on me for a good price. I'm married with for kids going through nursing school so money's tight so if I want anything nice right now I have to get my hands dirty. Anyway, the vehicle only had 113k miles so I thought it was a good deal. When it came time to change the plugs I ended up breaking every single plug. So I bought the lisle tool which worked awesome on every plug except the last one which was in cylinder 8. The diode broke off which didn't allow the lisle tool to bite so I had to use an angle attachment and drill out the stubborn diode that was left behind. I eventually got all the plugs replaced and it runs good now. I love the torque this engine has. You can hear the timing chain slapping around making that ticking sound so I'm saving up to buy the timing chain kit you recommended. I'm glade I subscribed to your channel. If I hadn't subscribed I would not have found out about the new high volume oil pump available. Since I'll be that deep in the engine anyway I'm going to go ahead and drop another 160 bucks or so and replace the old oil pump with this newer high flow pump. I feel it's worth it because again the vehicle only has 113k miles on it. I keep up good maintenance on my vehicles so I think it will last a long time after making these upgrades. I appreciate what you do. I used to buy a Haynes book every time I bought a new vehicle. Now I just use RUclips and I have to say your channel is very awesome the way you break everything down.
Michael Pritt ~ would very much like to hear an update on your project, sir. Hopefully all went well & you’re still enjoying that bargain...!
Man...this channel was made for you! I am afraid to change my plugs but when I do I will follow the videos here on the subject.
I had to subscribe. Great videos!! My 04 has 211k .
There is one problem what you have - spring in the pressure valve. It all about GM and Ford oil pump using that design. Not matter, what volume is your oil pump. It is constructive defect. Because oil pump isnt deep cooling by oil as well like on the old smallblock, so spring is coming death first.
Sorry for my english:)) Hope it helps
I own a construction company and an auto repair facility. I buy used f150 250 and 350 at auction. We use them damn near exclusively and all of them may or do pull 6 to 10k lbs fairly regularly. Most have the 5.4 then v10 and diesel after that. Some have 4.6. I am not nor have I ever been scared of the modular engines. As a former technician I enjoyed and specialized in the fords. Most of these trucks have been ridden hard by construction gius sho dont give a shit cause it ain't theirs. All of them have 70k or more miles. First thing we do is send them to my shop and we yank all plugs and coils and replace with MOTORCRAFT parts ONLY! Even if there is no problems. We change em. These trucks stay in service for us forever. I have a strict maintenance program and make sure my men adhere to it. These are good engines and best work trucks there is. Dont be scared. Take care of it
Even though I have a hair across my ass over Ford you still make good videos and are very informative thanks .
J Patt recently purchased 04 f150. Many issues. But DAMM it looks good. Bout to install 5.7 vortex an 4l80e. Bet that will get it outta my driveway.
William Sprinkle Sr good luck if you're really going to attempt that I hope it works out well for u !
Know why I'm grumpy now... because I have a new M360 and I'm ready to throw it in with everything else...I'd rather have the M360HV!!! Lol thanks for your videos...extremely helpful!!!
Good to know! Thanks man.
Lots of those trucks out there without major issues.
My ‘14 Navigator made it to 158k miles before giving tensioner bleed symptoms. Runs smooth as silk otherwise.
Oh man I am having one heck of a time with a 5.4! I installed a new crankshaft, bearings, timing chains, phasers, metal body ratcheting style tensioners, camshafts, and oil pump. the cam journals are a little scored but not bad enough to bleed off all my oil pressure... When it gets up to operating temp the phaser rattle and shake comes and goes, like there is almost enough oil pressure but not quite. Cold start is 60psi+, when hot it is something like 25. I had a brand new oem 4v oil pump on the shelf so that's what I installed but I think that might be my problem... Going to try one of these hv pumps before I take the heads off.
Did you install a high volume pump since you posted this comment?
luv the vidz dude.... great info...well explained...keep up the good work
Your the best keepem coming..
I have a 2003 Expedition with about 179K miles. It is the best snow car I have ever owned. I am not saying the best overall as I don't want to start a war that can't be won by anyone. I thought I wanted to upgrade to a 2006 which has the same frame with a little more HP. Having read about the problems with the 3v engines I am going to keep what I have and live with the slight lack of power. I use time-serts for thread repair. Easy enough to do, I did one in the middle of the National Forest one time on the side of the road in a friends v10. Just carry the parts with me. If you don't have the parts I put 800 miles on a small box truck which blew out a plug traveling. The plug and coil removed its self, I disconnected the injector, the power was still about the same as was the mileage. Got some strange looks puffing in and out of fuel stations. Repaired when I got home, after it reached 268K miles I sent it on its way. I am not saying that running without a functioning plug in the hole is a good thing to do it will get you home with the injector disconnected. You can even leave the broken coil attached The engine doesn't even know that a plug is missing.
It amazes me that this is the same company that designed the 9 inch rear end and, while the car was disappointing, the mustang II front suspension. Those are two items that are huge in the aftermarket. Now, they build these engines that have so many issues.
I will definitely change my oil pump on my 2008 3v 5.4
I wish you did more 2v videos, I love my truck.
Same problem as the other brand LS! Lol good vid. Keep it up.
Good timing! I’ll be returning the M360 I just bought to get one of these
Zach Dresser same boat as you brother. Just put mine on my bench to put in this coming weekend and now I find out this new one is the beeknees. Looks like I'm going to have 2 oil pumps lol
@@joshualester6952 what year is your f-150?
I haven’t had any of the timing problems with my 120,000 mile ‘08 yet, I was considering selling it but with the price of new trucks I am going to by the parts to have ready when the time comes. On a side note My serpentine belt had become really loud, I thought the plastic idler had failed but it is fine, it turns out the noise was coming from the gator pattern on the Goodyear Gatorback belt running over the pulleys. I put a Motorcraft belt on, now all is quiet
Are you planning any road trip tour's. I can sure use your help with my truck
A few questions/observations. Amazon states the 360HV does NOT fit the 5.4 3 valve engine. It only lists the Mustang 5.4l engine as the correct engine. Does it actually fit? Also what about the possibility of starving other areas of the engine for oil, such as rod bearings? I know back in the day we used to swap out oil pumps to deliver more oil to the top end, only to spin bearings in the lower end. Thanks again Brian, you have created a legacy of loyal Ford supporters.
Thanks mate I have a 06 Expedition .. thanks hi from Tijuana Bc Mexico my brother Oscar Sanchez and I Arthur Sanchez thank you ..
Gracias bro
I’m buying one of these pumps for my 08’ Expedition. Just hit 175k miles.
My 99 F-350 (gas) 5,4L 3Valve with 265,000 miles on it and still going strong, the only issue has been a fuel pump - engine still runs strong.
Scott Lincoln
1999 did have the 3 valve 5.4 yet. That's why it's working good for you yet ;-)
Thank you
By the way, I can relate to you... when you bought the diesel v6 ram( I don't like dodge or chevy). I hate bad representation of the product at some ford dealers, anyways, fomoco all the way!
Thanks for well information.
My truck has 90k miles and no noise from the engine. Do you think I only need M360HV and gasket?
As others have said you are awesome man, been building and repairing my own engines for over 35 years but this VCT 5.4 had me a bit concerned, first VCT I have worked on, your videos make it no problem so TY! I have a High Mileage f 150 (268k) would you go with the M360HV or M340HV in this case? I Have picked up the OEM timing setup off Amazon you recommended, new OEM VCT solenoids but am also looking at Mellings metal cam tensioner upgrade do you have any thoughts on those as well? Also while I am in there should I just go ahead and replace all the followers and adjusters? Sorry for all the questions but want to do this right the first time and money is really not an issue, since this truck is my rolling office and I am a construction company owner.
Thanks for your videos FordTech! So... What timing? I have been fixing the timing system on my truck in my spare time this winter with the help of your videos. And as recommended per your previous oil pump installation video, I bought the M360 back in December and just loose fitted it last night before running other errands. My question: Now that you mention this new M360 HV should I resell my M360 and Upgrade to the M340 HV / M360 HV or will the M360 I've got on hand be fine? I've been at it this long so I'm just looking for piece of mind as long as I'm in there this deep.
I have the 5.4 3v & best upgrade is the 5.0 coyote engine swap !!
No, 390 FE
Damn lol i did my full timing set in Jan of 2018.... wish I would have waited
Question: I have a 2004 f150 with the 3v 5.4 engine and 140,000 miles. Which of the high volume pumps would you choose (high pressure or standard pressure) and why would you choose one over the other? Why would I use the standard pressure over the high pressure model unless there are problems that are caused by the high pressure, and what issues might there be?
Thanks for the video.
I installed one of these 360HV's in my 08 5.4 3V. I have ungodly oil pressure when cold. I'm thinking the 340HV would have been a better idea, or even the Melling stock replacement with the cast iron backing plate.
Hey Brian, i have a 2003 ford explorer with the 4.6. I am getting ready to do a timing job on it, and want to change the oil pump while I have it apart. What pump do I use on the 4.6 2v? Thanks for all you do brother, you are helping a veteran immensely.
Thank You for your vid's !! Would you recommend the 10341 over the m340hv or m360hv ? Cheers
Great video as always, question , I have a 07 e150 with the 5.4 SOHC does this engine have the same problem as the 3 valve , I know I don't have the spark plug issue , but what about the time chain / tensioner / oil pressure issue ? Thanks keep up the good work.
Damn, you did mine a year ago....and i already put 20k miles since then...guess ill see you in a year or two. But no problems yet.....besides an exhaust leak from passanger side manifold.
Be careful when you go to deal with that passenger manifold. I got all the bolts out except one, it broke off. I ended up pulling the cylinder head to get the broken bolt out. I did shorty direct fit headers while I was at it. The exhaust leak came back after 1 year. I think the head is warped where it bolts up to manifold/header. I think it needs to be resurfaced on the cylinder head portion to permanently fix this issue.
@@joshmills5248 It is strange how, in my research, it is almost always the right exhaust manifold, and often when inspected,one or more studs are broken. The manifold is deforming on that side.
Nice!!
Which would you prefer. I tow heavy loads and have it tuned. Never been easy on the truck.
Put one in my truck. Well worth it. Also did cam lockouts. I've had no issues since.
Floor-It-Duh you can also unplug act's and use 15w40 and have zero and I mean zero issues as long as the tensioner gasket isn't blown out or guides in the pickup screen. If you do those three to four things these things become bulletproof and grenade proof. Lol
Vct's*
I personally wouldn't use 15W40 as in my opinion it's a little too thick for these engines due to the small oil galley passages in the heads which can potentially result in oil stagnating thus sludge. That said I've heard people using 10W40 on really high mileage engines with no issues but those were all 2V's I heard of. I personally didn't need to cheap out and unplug the VCT solenoids as I didn't want any CEL lights to be triggered and lastly I have a custom tune because I run aftermarket cams along with a few other modifications. That's me though. If what you got is working for you by all means go for it.
Floor-It-Duh which cam lockouts?
Super awesome 😎👍👍
My truck just hit 100,000 miles 4.6 L just as a maintenance procedure I went ahead and changed the oil pump with the M340hV, VCT solonoids, cam phasers, chains the whole timing job. I wasn’t having any problems I just wanted it done. My question is with this new pump should I switch to 5W 30 now or leave it at 5w20.
I wish I had some kind of engine problem. 145,000 and nothing wrong with my 2002 F150. I would like to get a new 2018 if it ever goes out.
I don't like plastic tensioners, so I bought Melling cast iron ratcheting type BT402 and BT403 . Good choice? I have a 2005 Mustang 4.6 3v and a 2007 TownCar 4.6 2v
Thats weird, we've got a expedition with 200,000 miles on it, no problems ever, changed the plugs myself with no problems, it's got an cold air intake, 3 inch cat back,hypertec programmer, and a shift kit, 3 inch lift, runs great
I installed a Ford Reman 5.4 2v long block in my 02 F-150 back in 2011, thankfully the heads are PI 8 thread but is there anything along the lines of this video that I should be aware of for the future?
HAVE YOU DONE video on a 2013 Ford Explorer 3.5 L
Awesome video, I have a new style 04 F-150 that is getting the full timing chain treatment, I'm ordering the parts now, what is your opinion on the Melling chain tensioners, with the boosted oil pressure, would you recommend them since the seals on the plastic ones have been a problem?
Are there any issues with these HV pump over draining or over pulling from the pans? Because traditionally you would always add an extra volume pan when adding a HV pump to keep from draining the pan with a standard style oil pump. I'm not super familiar with these style of pumps so I though it would be a good question for you Brian.
I tried ordering the M360HV off Summit a week or so ago and they canceled my order saying that it was discontinued. I know that wasn't true. I love Summit, but they could have done better in this instance with the reason for cancellation. I just went to Amazon based on your recommendation and found one and just ordered it. Hopefully it comes through. I have an M360 that I was going to run, but hopefully I can now return it since I should be able to procure the M360HV.
I went directly to Melling’s website and did a VIN lookup on mine. The only one they offer is the M340 and M340HV, at least for my particular VIN 5 engine.
@@BrandonWest87 The M360HV comes up in the search for vehicles with the 4V engine. However, since this video I've read stories of many people having success with the M340HV. I have yet to install my oil pump. I hope to get around to doing it at some point this year.
@TheTruth27536 Yeah man that’s the difference. Mine is the 3V. I’ve heard the 4V uses the 360 versions. My engine with 160k on it runs smooth as silk with the new timing system and HV oil pump!
