Thanks bubba..saved me a hour out so..86 ford f150 passed down from my unc and have had it for 12 years. Was gonna sell about 4 years ago but daughter cried and says it's her truck lol so 7 more years n it's getting passed down to her.
Changing out my 86 Bronco waterpump, while having a beer thought of Changing out the timing chain. Is it good, who knows but after watching this and a few beers why not....cheers
I agree, at the point of changing the water pump may as well change the timing set for peace of mind. Of course have multiple beers threw out the process to keep the good decisions coming.
I like working on older engines vs todays, that you have to remove a ton of crap, and replace half of it do to one time use. Nice Job Andy. The double chain is supposed to be stronger. I believe Ford changed theirs from single to double on some of their engines.
I as well prefer the older vehicles and engines. But I do work on them all. I am excited to see how it runs after the new chain and new gaskets and whatnot.
My 86 just shed some teeth off the timing gear at 121,000 miles. Jumped time and won’t start anymore. Luckily happened in the driveway AFTER a 500 mile trip. Pretty sure these are not interference engines so I think I’ll be fine. Have it torn down almost all the way right now, thanks for the video it’s been a big help. Was wondering, did you have to loosen the other oil pan bolts to get your timing cover loose? I have what I believe is all 10 timing cover bolts out and it still is pretty stuck. Also, did your harmonic balancer look ok? The rubber of mine is cracking and very dry rotten, thinking I might should change it but not sure how important that is.
I didnt loosen any other oil pan bolts. The dowel pins can sometimes really hang onto to parts. I try to carefully pry on the cover right at the dowel pin locations alternating from one side to the other. The rubber in my balancer was in ok shape yet. If the rubber does get too bad the balancer and fall off the inner hub. Sometimes not a big deal, just have to change it. Other times it can tear up other parts or the radiator. Good luck with it! Hope it all works out good for you!
@@VPTfab Thank you sir! I’ll try pb blaster on the dowel hole and prying by the dowel pins with a screwdriver. The rubber in my balancer is bad enough to flake little pieces off, so I think I’ll err on the side of caution and replace it. Parts for these motors are stupid cheap, anyway… Cloyes double roller set was only 40 bucks at advanced. Just for shits and giggles I checked on a 2020 f150 5.0 and the timing set was $330! Not to mention, it looked like it would be hellish to install, so many parts! Definitely worth keeping the classics going… thanks again for this video to help me on the journey.
Great for making sure oil and water are sealed well. I'm a believer it helps keep the bang in too. But I'm no pro, it's just something I always use now.

Raised her right love that for yall
I was hoping this be movie length. Sucks now we got a cliffhanger. Working on old stuff is fun

Best video I have ever seen. Excellent
Are they putting Cheap Seal on your street? I hate that stuff - the surface is rough as crap afterwards!
Luckily no. I hate that stuff as well! They are replacing our entire road and adding things.
Was the fuel pump location on timing cover blocked off
Yes it is from the factory.
So whats the use of cooper spray for?

Ok thanks..just trying to understand so if I ever give advice I like to act like I know what I'm talking about lol
Is this a fuel injected or a carb model?
@@mikepuk8224 This is fuel injected.
@@VPTfab I have a fuel injected 302 and I had to replace the timing chain because it was backfiring like hell.
@@mikepuk8224 Wow, was it bouncing timing around that much?
