    If you are doing this at home it's probably best to drop the oil pan and check the oil pick up for any bits of plastic that may have come off the chain guides, they can plug up your pick up and starve your engine of precious oil pressure. 🤙

    Great job with everything, you showed the details of the key areas and as we can see the timing components are the easiest part it’s getting everything off especially the valve covers. I noticed you didn’t mention anything about the cam hold downs or the crank lock tool.. and I’m surprised that truck didn’t jump time with the broken right side guide? Awww so there is a square 3/8” female in the cams to move them, so you don’t need the cam adjuster tool.. nice.. just great video.. I have 2000 f250 5.4 2V same engine with 167k mi it’s not extending cranking or anything and runs great but how do I know if there is chain stretch? I have MX808 scanner is there a PID that can tell me an adaption value from 0° to see how much the ECU is compensating on the ignition? How do you know when it’s time to change chains and components? Thanks again one of the best videos ever on KZread 👍🏻

    On the 3 valve videos, others put the tensioner in later which make it difficult because the spring loaded resistance. I ended up cross threaded bolt hole.

I am wondering if I should do timing chains on my 2004 E350 Super Duty van that now has 180K and runs quiet and smooth and has lived on a diet of full synthetic since almost new??? It will take me 2 more years to reach 200K and then maybe do them???

    I want to say that your 11 o'clock and 12 o'clock and 12 o'clock IS WRONG!!!!! You have on the left 11 o'clock, Crankshaft KEYWAY is at 11 o'clock, and the right side is at 1 O'clock !!! Look at you video and this is where you NEED to be at !!! Not your 11 12 12 will never happen ???? I have never seen any video have the crankshaft keyway at 12 o'clock even the tool for setting the crankshaft at the right position is set for 11 o'clock!!! I LOVE this video but YOU SCREWED up this FACT!!!!
