I did this today. Very helpful. Easier to take the dipstick tube out first before u remove the valve cover. It’s a twist and pull out kinda like a headlight bulb.
@@nickbegines2676 definitely easier to pull the dipstick tube first, but some of them break when you try to remove them so proceed with caution to anyone reading this comment.
Really appreciate you posting this. I was told to do a job like that they would have to drop the motor out of my Mustang if there ever is a lash adjuster or roller rocker issue. This is a huge help. I suspect I am getting some noise from the passenger side which hopefully is nothing more than lazy tensioners on the chains.
@@airflow_concepts yep! If you have a 5.0 it’s exactly like this, so is the 4.6 and 5.4 but you can change the phasers like this on those motors too. Tensioners on the 5.0 are pretty crappy and there are 4 total. There’s an upgrade kit you can buy for the uppers that tensions the correct side of the chain. Either way never a need to pull the motor on a mustang for timing, a Camry though, that’s another story.
Yes certainly, pretty accustomed to using Autofocus when one handed and hands dirty, but in the case of using a tripod that would have been great and certainly should have!
Can potentially cause hesitations, misfire, poor fuel economy, lean or rich codes. Can lead to serious engine damage which can cause all sorts of other issues.
@@unitedperformance8583 I looked into it, that’s awesome! I didn’t realize they had made a tool for the 5.0 as well, I knew about the 5.4 tool and figured someone must have, but figured it out this way instead of waiting or even researching haha. Good to know for the next one.
@@evilkris18 yes you absolutely can, it will be a little more challenging as it will be closer to the timing chain that keeps the cam from lifting but I’ve done it, just take your time!
Doing this same type of repair when new lifter and rocker come in in on Monday but on exhaust cam rocker near the back. Very helpful video. I also have a 2019 F150. 140,000 miles. Is there any reason why I would not use new camshaft cap bolts?
I ended up doing new bolts…they like $6 a piece. Cheap peace of mind. Followed factory torque spec…53 inch-lb on first pass then 45 degrees additional on 2nd pass. Dipstick tube has a tab facing front of engine. Use small flathead to push it in, then turn it ccw…pops out.
@@DavinBlomquist they are considered “torque to yield” ie: they stretch when tightened, and a bolt can only be stretch so much before it is at risk of breaking. Oem recommends new bolts. Do you really want to find out what happens when they break on your motor?
@@DavinBlomquist good call on the new bolts, and thank you for lending that comment on the dipstick tube, I avoid disassembling brittle plastic components as they sometimes break, but some may prefer that risk.
I have a 2019 f150 with a loud tick and it idles at like 400-500 rpm which is when its loudest I believe this is the issue I’m in NorCal is there a way I can contact you personally
@@Liquormans I’m afraid my life doesn’t allow me the luxury to travel at any moment currently, but if I had the financial and time freedom I definitely would!
@@kensheets5189 yes rich codes and misfire codes, low power, and engine noise. Dealership said it needed a timing job. That’s why I showed how to diagnose the noise. If there’s no noise your codes arent for this.
I have a 4.7 liter 2UZ-FE engine in my Lexus GX-470, it is a 2005 model. The only thing I have done is kept clean oil and filters in it and changed the timing belt assembly as per the manual. It has 251,000 miles on it. It is 2005 technology. Ford is not even close with their 2019 stuff. Why would anyone buy American at this late juncture?
@@lars277 every manufacturer has their issues, the truck you have is notorious for coolant pipe leaks, rear main leaks, and transmission torque converter seal leaks. I agree though, a much better engine overall, heck I used to own one even with more miles than that! I can’t say I’d buy a new ford right now though!!
Duuude! Appreciate the video- this saved my ass. I just watched your video and tackled this today- really appreciate you posting this.
@@dpracingdan that’s awesome! I’m glad to hear it helped.
I did this today. Very helpful. Easier to take the dipstick tube out first before u remove the valve cover. It’s a twist and pull out kinda like a headlight bulb.
Did you replace cam cap bolts or reuse the existing ones? What torque did you use if you reused the old bolts?
@@nickbegines2676 definitely easier to pull the dipstick tube first, but some of them break when you try to remove them so proceed with caution to anyone reading this comment.
@@DavinBlomquist if your going to reuse them the target torque is around 12nm
Great video man. Im doing vct solenoids but this video helped with all the things I have to take apart to get the valve covers off.

What wuz wrong with this truck mine has the same issue and around how much did it cost your to repair
@@martinquinones9847 the truck in the video has a failed rocker, the other commenter may have a failing timing chain tensioner from his comment
Thank you so much very informative keep more videos coming!!!💪
@@patrickdorminy6874 your problem and will do!
Great info 👍
@@Mark-zz9rt thank you
Ain't that camera auto focus a pain? Suggest you see if it can be set manually...
Yes certainly, pretty accustomed to using Autofocus when one handed and hands dirty, but in the case of using a tripod that would have been great and certainly should have!
Similar to the 3.6l pentastar cam follower issue and replaced the same way, not according to the book. Good to know.
Just like the ol 5.4
Hey My Man i think I'm experiencing this same problem other than the ticking noise what performance symptoms would i have if this is my issue?
Can potentially cause hesitations, misfire, poor fuel economy, lean or rich codes. Can lead to serious engine damage which can cause all sorts of other issues.
Wow. Absolutely nothing in focus but at least it appears it's possible to replace a lifter and rocker on one of these motors.
@@whodathunkithuh1001 yes, very disappointed with the autofocus results and have disabled autofocus for future videos
There is a easier way if you have the spring compressor tool from freedom racing.
@@unitedperformance8583 I looked into it, that’s awesome! I didn’t realize they had made a tool for the 5.0 as well, I knew about the 5.4 tool and figured someone must have, but figured it out this way instead of waiting or even researching haha. Good to know for the next one.
Can you do this to a 2018 Mustang gt with the same motor. Mine is on the driver side to front side of the motor.
@@evilkris18 yes you absolutely can, it will be a little more challenging as it will be closer to the timing chain that keeps the cam from lifting but I’ve done it, just take your time!
@@theracecarlife9023 thank you.
Would a 2015 5.0 be the same without the need to remove the cams?
@@omargonzalez7776 yes all the coyote 5.0s are the same in that regard

@@genarocabrera2251 hopefully you find this video is helpful!
Can you do this with a 2017 f150 3.5 ecoboost ?
@@michaelcavaliere3518 yes, and they also sell a rocker removal tool that makes it so you don’t have to remove the cam caps.

Yes you can email me at theracecarlife at gmail dot com or you can message me on instagram. A loud tick at those RPMs is definitely concerning.
Where are you located ?
@@ronoshields3 Oregon!
Come up to Toronto 🍁 and fix mine

@@martinquinones9847 this one had a bad rocker arm, customer cost was less than 500 on the repair if I remember correctly.
It took a Auto Haus tech to figure out the #CoyoteTick
@@Liquormans I’m afraid I don’t understand the reference, is auto haus a group who also posted about this concern?
ford told me tooday its normal and not to worry because its a normal for these vehicles .......
@@connorjohnson9843 ford also makes more money selling major repairs than single rockers. Diagnostics are not intensely taught either.
No
Turn off auto focus pleeze !!!
