😂😂 I tell my customers they need new timing chain and vct solenoids then I just replace the plugs 1500 cash in my pocket for 150 dollars of parts😂😂😂😂

AWSOME job nice and smooth also learned something.

The 2 valve spark plugs are notorious for becoming loose over time. Exhaust gasses build up on the threads. Especially if they were under torqued when installed.

❤❤thanks for u from Iraq after 4yrs of this video

Video ABSOLUTELY helps me out ('06 Ford F-150), wish you showed how to get the cover out but I'll manage. My tick is on Driver side... fired it up to tow my trailer and heard it right away (Damn!) I will check my plugs though, and see if that does it... otherwise, I'll be changing all rollers and lifters just like you!! Cant wait to hear my girl purr like that again!!!

Ok !! Awesome video I have a 2006 f150 3v I have fixed a few noises and what’s left is a tick that sounds just like yours I think I need to pull the valve covers and check these like you did I put new updated vct solenoids and that fixed the scary hot idle knock I also did new updated spark plugs Hopefully none are loose Yet shouldn’t be since my mechanic did them The tick goes up with rpm It’s annoying Not very loud I’m thinking it could be one of these followers !!!

I have heard it several times lol, they are also known for rod slapping too

Unrelated, but you tried pulling that f26 fuse and seeing if it makes your 0-60 faster? It’s abs and traction control and I absolutely blow the tires off now lol it has zero torque management! Tc button only works so much I realized wish I had tires to hook so I could really test the times I’m pretty sure putting down full power now ha

Awesome Frostbite《☆》I've heard of the 5.4 sparkplug issues. Man what a moneymaking genius came up with those spark plugs :*: I inherited a Motorhome with a Triton V10 & it took me 5 months to work all the bugs out of it so me & my sister could sell it.

Imagine a world where you could sell something to someone with the promise of fixing it but using the money from the sale or where you can take an advance on the sale or a loan specific to repair with intent to sell

Hey I have the same engine and a f250 xl anyways what a knock sensor make that noise also and also I have one I believe it's knock sensor going straight down in the middle between all the valve covers in the top of the block right by I think a water pump hose and then I have a temperature sensor I believe what it is with the wire running over your heater engine coolant hose the big one coming off the radiator well what sensor has one wire running to it just down by the exhaust manifold going into the engine block on driver side? And if that sensor is bad could that make the vehicle have a ticking noise cuz I'm losing power when I try to go up hills it'll go way down and power and then it tries to shift down shift way up and RPMs and still no power to go forward

Oh I guess it might be spark plug? interesting. Good work

That would be caused from low oil feed, where the lifter has stuck . By Keeping the oil clean and regular oil changes BEfore fords recommendation time interval will help prevent such condition. One of my lifters was starting to make noise and I gave some WD40 treatment and the lifter quieted down quite a bit, it still is a bit noisy but it definitely helped. I used a cap from a tide bottle - pre-measured two cap fulls and it definitely helped. Varnish is a very big problem to these engines and thinning oil too - so I run 5W30 in the winter and 10W30 in the summer I wont use 5W20 any more as oil pressure is vital to these engines...But a clean engine will save you a big bill down the road.. It should also be noted that - the passenger side will always be problematic due to the way the flow of oil goes which is from the driver side to the passenger, the Driver side gets first shot at the oil then the passenger side. Also maybe invest in a higher volume oil pump { HV140 to HV160} would definitely be a worth it and save your engine...Update here. If you find the ticking sound only happens when hot and not when cold at startup then it is a valve lash adjuster as- I found on mine - but still dont let it go too long ...

I’ve done the same but with diesel and had a final idle flush of just diesel no oil and it was no louder than with the oil that was in it

Do you have a video on removing them? Do I have to remove my cam shaft?

I have same knocking on 5.4L, would loose lifter cause hesitation and not able to go overdrive/shift when pushing gas hard? but it shifts normal if I barely pushed on gas but as soon as I give it hard gas push it would hesitate or not even go overdrive and shift.

can those lifters cause a camshaft position code ?

Yeah the spark plugs seems like they need to be torqued and check in a couple thousand miles

Nice

I'm not doubting you but that noise surely sounded like a bad lash adjuster, which u solved. Was spark plug in same cylinder as bad adjuster? Thank you bub. God bless

when you went to put the new lifters in, did you do anything to them out of the box before they went in? I've heard soaking them in oil for a night and some people have mentioned bleeding them, I'm not sure what to do yet, I got mine out and found 2 bad ones and have the replacement parts ready to go in

I bought from Ford Canada at 16$ each.. qty 12 But when I went to change the phazer ant rocker arm ,the found one timing chain guide broken,so replace timing chain guides , timing chain phazer solinoid ...etc etc .. But I had all parts except was missing 12 lifters,so because I bought from the dealer where I was doing the repairs they charge me 48 $ Dollars each.. So the message once you start the work be sure you have all the parts.

How are the rockers put back in? I suppose prying them off doesn't work on the Three Valve, nor just pulling out the lifters, right? I just ordered a valve spring compressor and it was surprising how they can be popped off like that, on a Two Valve.

I fixed a truck at work that was doing what you described. Big lack of power and constant ticking on the passenger side bank. I found a seized roller follower that had a flat spot on it but luckily the cam was still salvageable even though it had been driven that way a couple months. Ended up replacing all the roller followers on that bank and it’s quiet with full power again.

How much you charge to do a job like that

What would you look for if you replaced all the lash adjsuters and roller followers, put it together and it still ticked, took it apart on the front and verified the timing components look good too replace the plastic tesioners with new melling metal ones (and high volume output oil pump), put it together and still ticks. . . .? It ticks at idle, but goes away at about 900-1100 rpm and returns when rapping it up above about 2300. When I start it it will tick tick tick loud until I put it in drive, then it quiets considerably. Any ideas? A stethoscope on the engine sounds very metal-on-metal tick, not a poof like an exhaust leak.

@@FrostbiteRam Thank you! 👍

The 5.4 is a good engine, but has two inherent design flaws 1) The spark plug change intervals need to be reduced from 100k to 33k. The higher interval allows for too much carbon buildup. Second the plugs need a 500 to1000 mile re torque after initial install 2) The OEM cam chain tensioner gaskets are prone to failure. This results in low oil pressure on the RH (Passengers) cylinder head. Mechanical components on that cylinder head fail due to minimum oil pressures from the leaking cam chain tensioners. This manifests itself as ticking mechanicals on the RH bank. The good thing is if caught in proper time, both these issues can be successfully resolved and the engine will no longer experience the issue, while providing another 150 to 200k service life.

If you think about it, every issue on these engines is the heads or attached to them, including the tensioners leaking and the cam bearings bing non existent and this non replaceable, they should have machined in provisions for off the shelf or custom bearings from the beginning or made replacement heads so cheap that it’s acceptable to just pull them and swap all the old components and rebuild the head, realistically considering many new seals would also be needed the price should be somewhere under $100 after core refund, regardless of cost to manufacture as it’s a them problem not a customer problem

I'll be doing mine in about a week, perhaps this weekend on my 99 F250. I suggest do the driver side first as there's a lot more room and less stuff to remove to make room. That will prep you to do the passenger side after the driver side is reassembled. I'm a novice-intermediate mechanic, so I'm trying to watch as many related videos as possible. Perhaps you should record video of what you take apart making note of every bolt, from where etc in case you forget anything and have to do more research midway in. That way you can watch your recording and get everything back where it's supposed to be. Also, it's helpful to have a piece of cardboard, marker and a screw driver to poke holes, then you can push the bolts in the hole and jot down where it came from.
