Can show head bolts torque?

I have a 2001 Ford 4.6 V8. I am NOT a mechanic. I followed this video and did a little research. I was able to replace the head, water pump, power steering pump & high pressure hose, upper & lower radiator hoses, all new gaskets & seals, spark plugs and boots. Many thanks for making the video. I couldn't have done it without your expertise. It took me 8 Saturday mornings and 3 evenings to rebuild it all. I now own some unique tools. New tools and parts combined about $1,600 TOTAL spent. May & June 2023.

Hey I'm doing the same thing in my 4.6 right now and on my passenger side exhaust manifold I can't get to two of the underneath bolts because the engine mount is in the way of the bolts. I can't even get the socket on the bolt.. did you have this issue. I'm wondering if you had to remove the motor mount or maybe raise the engine slightly to reach the bolts? I have seen other people with 4.6 having similar issue

I now understand why this is so expensive.

Just a little FYI.. if you do the double nut method, once you jam the 2 together use the bottom nut to break the bolt loose. Using the top one will just spin off everytime if the bolt is tighter than what you jammed the 2 together at. Highly unlikely to spin both nuts jammed together, possible but unlikely. If it breaks off you would be in same boat as the 1st stud that broke off. I can say though, I've gotten 99% of the studs out using the 2 jam nuts.

Thanks for the video. Now I'm certain I won't be messing with it

By far the best video I have ever seen about this project. You are a blessing for all of us who want to do this project.

You are the best standard for tutorial how to videos on youtube. I build 4.6 and 5.4 engines and am very impressed your your knowledge and technique. Great editing and commentating as well.

This video has been extremely helpful. This is a huge project that you couldn't have been more detailed in demonstrating thank you so much

Man you go into great detail of how to do this. Video did not get the likes it deserves

Great video! As soon as the weather changes we will be doing my 97 5.4 f150. I will definitely be watching this again before and during!

Don’t know what to say!! I’m grateful for how best mechanics recording while doing the job!! This was very explained, a lot of wisdom!! Soon I’ll be back, an get started myself!! Thanks bro!

You even went the extra mile to remove parts of the truck to get the right camera angles! You just earned another subscriber my man. This is a very well put together video and easy to follow. Thanks for the hard work to show us d.i.y'ers how it's done. Much appreciated!🙏🏻

Wow!!! Best clear detailed video I've seen. Being the master of your craft is one thing, being able to present, is a completely different talent. If you intend to undertake such a complex project, you should watch the video a dozen times. Messing up or forgetting any details would be painful.

WOWWWW THIS IS A CATASTROPHIC JOB AND YOU ARE A CERTIFIED MECHANIC

I'm going to rebuild the engine in my 03 Lariat 5.4 at some point, this was pretty informative. 👍👍

Great video! My 99 just puffed steam pulling out from a red light so I’ll be following your steps soon.

Thank you for the excellent video. I need to do my 1998 F150 2valve 4.6 head gaskets.

very well edited video, thank for sharing it, it was very helpful.

Definitely the best video I've ever watched thank you very much

Nice job. Great camera angles and nice and clear video.

Thank you for the detailed video very good job 👍🏼 now I feel confident to work on my 4.6

Pro tip when removing the water pump, while hitting with a hammer (i used brass) also use a long pry bar against the alternator pushing the pulley of the water pump towards you. That pressure along with the hammer blows pops it off fairly easily.

That is a fantastic job! well done! Personally, I would love to see the name and price range for some of the special tools like the beeping torque wrenches and different pullers. Thanks!!

if you dont have cam holding fixtures just take out the rocker followers. it closes all the valves making setting timing easy

수고하셨어요, 즐거운하루되세요. 기성정비&생활낚시

Thank you so much for the detailed information, God bless.

Awesome...your a mechanical genius.👍

Great video currently pulling an all nighter trying to get the heads off so I can replace some bent valves

Absolutely amazing how to video! Thank you for making this!

Thank you. I’ll have to do this job next summer.

YES I DO LIKE TO GO OVERBOARD, BY REPAINTING THE TIMING CHAIN COVER WITH A COLOR OF SILVER, BUT YOUR WORK IS AMAZINGLY

Dont forget to set your valves before installing the valve covers. Also should consider replacing the timing chains and sprockets with the waterpump. Its all off at that point. If your doing a head gasket its probably almost time for a timing chain and waterpump. Spark plugs are out, replace them if its time as well.

Thank you, extremely well put together and funny at times :) will be attempting this soon myself

Hello, on the timing cover front seal, did you add gasket maker around it when installing it? Also, is there a way to get a diagram for the timing cover sequence... been researching for some information but no luck yet..

Could you do a video on the same era 4.2l? If my understanding is correct, it is not DOHC? I’m currently trying to find a video explaining the engine head removal in detail.

Excelente trabajo muy bien explicado

Great video, couldn't ask for any better

Is the procedure for a 2 valve 4.6 head gaskets job the same or are there some major differences?

You really know what you are doing.

When your cleaning off the pistons and the area where the head sits are you not worried about getting debri in the other fluid wholes? Or does that not matter?

Good video. I learned a few things.

Did you install the spark plug inserts while this was out. As a machinist. I could drill and tap all 8 holes while apart. In less than 2 hours. And install the 8 inserts.

What is the tool (part number or link please) of the power steering pulley you removed. I want that exact same tool.

What about feeler gauge to see if the block engine surfaces straight flat

Hello and thank you so much for the very detailed tutorial. I am currently well into this process and I’m right at the point where you are in the video at 35:10. So, rotating the crank to line up the cams. I just had a quick question about that step. On my setup no matter how much I rotate the crank I can only get it to line up approximately 12 o’clock passenger side cam, 1 o’clock driver side cam when my crank groove is at 12 o’clock. Am I good to just remove the tensioners and timing chain even though it’s not exactly what yours shows? Thanks.

When your doing the timeinh and you say 11 and 12 o’clock on the cam gears, is that with the angle of the heads or just looking straight at the motor? Doing this in about an hour and a half

Question, Is thread sealant required on the bolts that are going into the coolant passage?

Quick question about those affected by the oil leak on the rear of the passenger side head gasket, I've seen some people just monitor the leak and top up oil as necessary. Just wondering if this is acceptable as the Ford TSB even states its not detrimental to the performance of the engine. As people state, $3,000 - $4,000 buys a lot of oil, lol. Edit: is it really a good idea to use an abrasive (i.e. sandpaper) to clean the gasket sealing surface of the block? Isn't that making it possible to introduce abrasives into the oiling system and ultimately the bearings?

Very interesting, thanks alot for all the knowledge!

I have a 2003 4dr supercrew rwd with a 5.4l V8 that needs the head gaskets replaced. the dealer says that due to clearance issues against the firewall The heads cannot be removed without lifting the body off of the frame a few inches to get clearance for the last headbolts..I did'nt see this in this video. Is this really an issue> thanks for showing us this +-9*

Good video. It seems that it would be easier to remove the engine and and do what's needed, plus more, than trying to reach across the engine bay. Or maybe I'm just getting too old for that.

How did you get the other bolt with the power steering hose in the way

He does not mention it but the crank timing mark needs to be at 6 o’clock. So the key or raised portion will be more at like 10oclock. Caused me some headache but I figured it out.

How do you know it was the head gasket and not just the intake gasket which typically goes bad

Is this the same for a 4.6 in my crown victoria

Is it the same process for the 4.6l 2v engine?

Is the 4.6 any different from the 5.4? I want to try to tackle this

Very thorough worth watching - probably the worst designed ford engine to work on , might as well pull the whole engine out and replace with a newer engine and just resell individual good parts of the old engine

How much does it cost to have this done ?

Would this procedure be similar to do on 1999-2002 F-250 (5.4v 2 valve) ?

😂 seeing someone turn off his ratchet at 1:30:15 is kinda funny.

Did you Valve cover gaskets not twist, or pop out of place when putting the covers back on? Mine will not freakin stay put.

What power steering pulley tool was that. And where can I get one

Where did you get your power steering pulley puller? The one I have is junk. Keeps going crooked and tries to pull off the lip…

Thanks for posting!

does anyone know if he reused those same bolts and if they have washers

Very good Video!! Thank you!

Thanks for your help

I did it!! Thank you!

@9 ish minutes the easiest tool for the head bolt is definitely a clothes pin. seeing harbor freight torque wrench is wild. no hate, I just don't see KZreadr use the tools I use.

Very good job .

Boen trvajo bien claro alluda de mucho grasias amigo

I BLEW A PLUG PASSANGER SIDE REAR PLUG, LOT OF WORK TO FIND OUT IF I CAN FIX IT

This is the best video where's I seen best explain everything is understood good job 👍👍👍👍👍

Whats the best method to pull the engine? Raising the cab is not an option with me.

Very good video and work. You make look easy . But not way am goint to take to a mechanic.thanks

Would the 4.6L be similar?

You left out an important step. Removing the exhaust manifolds. Do you have a video for that process?

Did you show where the gasket was leaking? Coolant is leaking out my exhaust.......please come and do mine.

Do you have to take the heads to machine shop or can you just clean them yourself?

Dang this looks like a big job just for Parts & Labor

What is that tool called on 4:00 to buy one.

Where do you live? Where do you have the workshop?

This guys good!!!

If y'all ever get a Ford Econoline from 2003 and it also needs head gaskets please make a video if you can.

I like this video 📹 👌

I thought u werent supposed to re use those long black bolts?

It’s not that hard, just remember where parts and bolts go when you remove or take pictures or video as you remove parts to help reinstall them with little to no issues

Truthfully, it would be cheaper to replace the motor.

Did you use old bolts or new ones?

+Burcly New hardware is not included with this kit. You may reuse the original hardware or purchase it separately.

Complete glossed over the ground strap when he put the intake on and I can't remember where it went 😭

It's been nearly 50 years since I've last overhauled an engine. My memory isn't what it used to be, I no longer bend as easily, and I'm a bit too big for tight quarters. I invariable rip things farther apart than is needed. I have a 99 F250 Super Duty. It appears you may have removed the outer and inner fender. Is this the case, and is it advisable? Are there pitfalls? Thanks for an in-depth and informative video. I feel more confident attempting this. Whether I'll succeed is another story.

I'm doing this on the 4.6 and something he doesn't have to deal with on the 5.4 is the passenger side exhaust manifold has two bolts on the bottom that you absolutely cannot get to unless you remove the motor mount bolts to the block .. the mount Is in the way to the point you cant remove the bolt...There are 3 bolts to the block. Very easy to remove.. Remove them and slowly jack up the motor with a jack under the oil pan. You only need to lift the engine maybe 1/2 an inch to get the manifold bolt above the motor mount. .. then it's easy to remove bolts. Flawed design by Ford
