I was a son of a mechanic. I loved taking apart locked up engines my father scrapped. Something about taking a engine apart as a kid I will never forget. I still get the itch to take apart blown engines. Finding the cause of the engine to fail is exciting. Had a collection of bent rods, push rods, valves, pistons and a old snapped in half Chevy straight 6 crankshaft. Good ole days of being young☺️
Love my 97 Cobra. Though mine can stock with an aluminum Teskid block, the best 4v block, strong as heck and 75ish pounds lighter than an iron one. Tore mine apart at 140k for forged rods and piston for a turbo build, still ran fine and had cross hatching still. It has been a terrific engine for me
1996-01 Cobras used an aluminum block, only the ‘03-04 supercharged cobras were iron blocks. Also only the ‘03-04 had the forged internals, all the n/a 4.6 motors had the powder rods. Also the 3v mustang GT from ‘05-10 had an aluminum block too.
i cant stop watching these. So simple, no music, no BS, just tearing down engines. Makes me want to send in my perfectly good engines just to see you tear them down!
Man just when I had it in my head that I would love to see you do a tear down to any modular ford engine and then boom here you are answering my unsaid request, thank you for the awesome content my man your doing a great job
Lincoln Aviator engine!!!! I just fired up my brand new one in my Aviator after working on the car for 5 months (project car), love the car, love the engine very reliable. Love the engine so much I got myself a marauder as well. I will tell you those engines are pretty chunky for their displacement. OH and yeah get all them 9 thread heads you can boy! you got lucky and got the latest DC heads in ONLY 05 aviators!! those will go for $1,500
I love watching the teardowns. It reminds me of when I used to build engines back in my 20's. I used to get some real bad ones from my local junk yard. Thanks for showing what the heads look like after cleaning.
had a marauder, blew a spark plug out of the head, and threw a rod bearing. i had it at a dealer to get fixed, and my car along with 10 others all were set on fire. it was a very sad day for me, as i loved the car, but in the end it was probably a blessing.

LONG LIVE THE MOD MOTOR! Those DC heads are worth their weight in gold. I buy 05 aviators just for those heads! That block alone is worth money without the rotating assembly!
These heads are also used GT500 supercharged 5.4's on 2005-2013, which is why the they are valuable. BTW these are actually pretty reliable with the updated tensioners, guides and chains. See if you can find some coyote 5.0 engines.
That is incorrect, 2005 was the last year anything came with a 4v 4.6 and the gt500s had the Ford GT heads which are the superior heads. But very similar.

I don't care what engine it is... As long as it is one that has had an issue and you tear it down to find out and theorize what had happened and knowing if it was a win or a loss on the profit side is what makes it enjoyable to watch. Oh and no annoying music either is a plus! And good commentary as you go.
I work at a machine shop, we have a similar parts washer we call the Jet Spray and that thing is incredible. doesn't get all the oil though, but we have an industrial ultrasonic that gets that and some of the carbon off.
Thanks for the tip on the heads! Just picked up a set off an ‘05 Aviator at the local Pick-n-Pull. Hopefully I can turn them into some good project car money!
Whoever had the engine first apparently didn't have the skill or the time to open it up and see what the issues were. A few new bearings, chains and tensioners, set of gaskets and a few valves, that engine can run again.
Replacement was likely judged to be more cost effective; I recently helped out with an engine replacement on a 96 Honda Accord that we were told had a bad head gasket. We didn't verify this, but the customer was okay with paying for a junkyard motor. Put it in, fired it up, ran fine. If this had been out of a manual trans Mach 1 (with the forged crank), I suspect it might have been repaired rather than replaced; as is, this was likely out of an Aviator (judging by the throttle body), and thus there was no real incentive to rebuild it (especially when labor time is factored in).
I helped my SIL rebuild his 2v 4.6, so I have all the cam timing tools for them. It should come in handy when I rebuild the 4v 4.6 aluminum block I have for my 46 Ford panel twuk. Engine and suspension came out of a 98 Lincoln Mk8. They are very repairable, with patience and the right tools. Powerful and lightweight.
That's a unicorn. My neighbor had a Marauder. Low miles, meticulously maintained. Passenger side timing chain tensioner failed on a cold start. Slammed all the exhaust valves on that bank and cracked two pistons.....
Both manual and auto mach 1 have the aluminum wap blocks, manuals have the forged kellogg crank same as the termi's, autos have cast cranks.. sorry for the "mr know it all" comment just wanted to put that out there, great vids btw👍👍
I know this is a post from 6 months .. but I have a 5 speed Mach 1 with an 8 bolt flywheel on the crank …I have gone through several clutches .. the throw out bearing has to be replaced with a Ford Performance Hd bearing or it goes out immediately.. but other than that .. I have 280,000 miles on it .. and it’s still strong as it ever was .
Thanks, Eric. I feel educated. My dad has the '94 SVT version (under 2k miles really). I knew almost nothing about these until now. Binge-watching your channel. Love this stuff.
I love these vids so much. Besides comedy podcasts and a few other car channels its one of the only things I consistently watch. Its also so cool to see Adam Sandler doing something besides Netflix movies and making weird faces.
Say what you will about them, but I love and have had good success in the 281's. these to me are solid, great power and if well maintained last forever.
Of the 4.6 Cobras, only 03/04 Terminators have iron blocks. The 96-98 have an earlier pattern B-head aluminum block shared with the Mark VIII, but the C-heads came a bit before the Terminator.
You need to check the cam caps and journals on heads, The secondary chain broke for a reason. Always check to see if cams spin free or you have a locked up cam on pass side that broke the chain.
Maybe have the shop vac handy for getting water of the larger nooks and crannies. That looked miserable using the air hose!! (which probably would have been my first choice too)
It's cool explaining the threads I hadn't heard of the shorter thread count the spark plugs in a four valves I thought that was a three valve thing only
I'm stunned that the pistons didn't kiss some of the valves under the cam that stopped turning. What are the chances? Must be your lucky day. Thanks for the fun videos. Love your channel.
I drive one of these, it used to be my dad's, and we ended up rebuilding the engine after one of the timing guides failed and shattered into the oil pain. On top of that, the failure caused the pistons to slam into the valves, so just about everything had to be reworked. I love my car, but yeah that timing can be a nightmare
They made plenty with the teksid block and despite the long spread myth no they’re not the strongest they’re no stronger than the WAP block, both being inferior to the aluminator blocks.
@@99thpeanut59 teskids are just more affordable and easier to find, they are a little thicker around the cylinder walls, but the aluminator got that good density
It is sad to see that engine sitting out in the weather like that. There is a seal on the cover over the COP's, how did they manage to get THAT much water and filth in there? I love my Marauder!
Brother I can't tell you how much I appreciate watching you tear these engines down, I learn a lot and enjoy watching you do this I just have one question and it's going to sound sillier maybe even stupid I don't know but what do you do with all the hardware the nuts and bolts that you pull out of there do you package them together and sell them for those of us who when we're tearing down our own engines break some or ruin some? I know head bolts have you can't reuse head bolts but the rest of that hardware and attachments and stuff like that must have some value to somebody.
Very cool. I have a 2004 Cobra and it's got a very similar makeup to this. Difference is cast iron block, forged crank, rods, and pistons. And the cams may be different. But it's still a 4.6 4V. And of course supercharged. To give you an idea of how stout this engine is, I am running 620whp @ 19psi on 93 octane. You can get well into the 700s whp using e85. The only weak link in this engine are the Zollner pistons. Btw, would love to see a teardown of one if you ever get your hands on one.
I really enjoyed this teardown because I own a 2003 SVT Cobra Terminator which uses basically the same engine as the Mercury with the addition of a forged rotating assembly and a supercharger.
@@Dat4valveGuy Yeah, that's what I meant by rotating assembly = rods, pistons & crank. Have you tried the KMJ titan alternator for the 03-04 Cobra? Highly rated with a lifetime warranty. BTW...very nice cobra! Mystic is my favorite color.
@@tomkjr1 I’ll upgrade when this one detonates I’ve just been picking them off of v6 mustangs at junkyards so that’s why my luck is bad lol appreciate it man
My '04 Marauder had a timing chain guide break, go into the oil pan and get sucked into the pickup tube starving the motor of oil. 217k on the motor so I had to have it overhauled. Pricey but I love my marauder.
I have been working for a ford fleet shop for 11 years now and I can count on one hand how many coyotes failed they don’t come apart like the LS engines do no oil pressure issues or bad cams. The post 18 coyote are not as good but still pretty good
@@lowridersvt I was mostly just making fun of how many mustangs seem to crash doing stupid s*** leaving meetings no I think the coyote is a great engine and it seems to pull up really well under boost even with stock internals I mean I remember reading about there is this build off between LS and coyotes and the coyote guys didn't even do anything to the internals I think they just put head studs on it or something but I don't have any personal experience when I had my mustangs I was too poor so I always had the v6s I did love my 2011 v6 though I made a custom bracket for a V3 and was pushing 400 to the wheels and God damn that thing was fun never had a problem with it never had to repair anything except I had problems with the AC door switches and I sold it with like 130k miles iirc. But I know that some of the people that I used to run into quite often that had theirs didn't have too many issues in the mustangs at least I don't think I knew anyone that had one in a truck
@@lowridersvt ive seen and heard of plenty 5.0s blowing up... the LS came out in 97 so there's ALOT more of them compared to the coyote... breaking oil pump gears or that horrendous tick piston slap that caused numerous replacement long blocks... let's not get into that beautiful Ford mt82 it's backed by... fohhh

I love the 4.6 modular though. First engine I really tore apart and rebuilt. Got 250,000 miles on my mercury with one, though it has the SOHC, not DOHC.
I have a complete running and driving aviator 04 if you want to buy it has the same issue but only the plastic fell off the top little guide tensioner is still intack
good video my brother ,,i got 2004 maruader 112,000 miles on it..eventually im gonna have do my engine it has that rattle sound only when u frist start it up for about few seconds then it goes away..maybe timming chain tensioner latting the chain slap to the oil fill them or hydraullio cylinder in the tensionerare alittle worn
It's important when leaving an engine outside to remove the spark plugs, so the cylinders can all fill with water and rust evenly.
FYI...These motors were first released in the Lincoln Mark VIII's. I have 5 of these Lincolns :) These motors are rock solid.

no more then 450 HP on cast internals, if you get the 03-04 cobra with forged internals you can hold a lot more talking the 600 range
@@edwardmyers1746 Oh ofcourse, the newer engine was much stronger. I liked those 96-98 Cobras, but never got to own one.
@@edwardmyers1746 with the correct tune, and only head studs 03-04 cobra engines can handle 900-1000 rwhp. 4 bolt mains, Forged steel crank, forged Manley h-beam rods, forged pistons. They are one of the most stout factory built engines ford ever produced.
I enjoy your videos thanks. You may wish to use a wet vac for water removal.
I love the 4.6 modular though. First engine I really tore apart and rebuilt. Got 250,000 miles on my mercury with one, though it has the SOHC, not DOHC.
250,000 is easy with maintenance
I have a complete running and driving aviator 04 if you want to buy it has the same issue but only the plastic fell off the top little guide tensioner is still intack
Good video. You should do one on a 4.6 2v from a Explorer
good video my brother ,,i got 2004 maruader 112,000 miles on it..eventually im gonna have do my engine it has that rattle sound only when u frist start it up for about few seconds then it goes away..maybe timming chain tensioner latting the chain slap to the oil fill them or hydraullio cylinder in the tensionerare alittle worn
Your teardowns are awesome! Would love to see the M156 or a Cummins teardown. Keep it up!
Thank you mechanic Adam Sandler!
His movies stink so he had to go to another line of work.
Thank you. Glad this thing turned into $$$$$$ that the game. Look forward to the next!!
