Good short when u had that problem did have a fuel pressure sensor code ..like a p0191

Sounds like diesel

You are legend sir. I've put over a week into replacing the pump and doing a timing job and filming the whole thing because I do create automotive repair content and didn't find much the covers the entire job, including teardown and rebuild of everything. I'm going to test a few more things this try this. I very much need to get my 5.4L 2V back on the road.

Sounds badass!

Nice ford 😊

Keep these videos coming dawg. Especially revving ones lol. Ik neighbors must really love u.

You gotta beast right there dude

How did those cast iron tensioners work on the 3v?

Nice.what number is your Q400. I have a 2000 Steeda GT ST360...#GT-002

This vid reminds me of the song Highway to the danger zone

Biden is applauding: nothing like a 12 horse ancient engine: very very low carbon footprint

YOU’RE THE MAN JBYRD!!!! Man thank you so very much for this video!! You have NO idea just how great it was to feel the blood pressure gauge dropping as soon as the oil pressure gauge started climbing!!!😅 Was just before having a meltdown when I ran across this video, sheww it saved my life! Guys this also applies to 03 5.4 2 valve engines as well! You can use any filter that fits your engine. Simply use a o-ring pic or something sharp to poke 3-4 holes through the plastic diaphragm inside the filter straight down in the middle of the filter. Just be careful not to puncture through the metal part of the oil filter itself as the metal is very thin. DISCARD FILTER AFTER this process replace with new. Do exactly as JBYRD says and after cranking over for about 15/20 seconds you willlll achieve oil pressure…… and woohoooooo 🎉DON’T STOP THE PARRRRRTTYYYY!!! 🎉Thanks again JBYRD may you and yours be blessed🙏!! Great video dnt care what no body says, especially when they’re too impatient to watch a five min video from someone who’s only trying to help!! 👍🏻👊🏻

It is good you mentioned the issue of some oil filters having a check valve. In that situation you could use the lower port on the oil filter adapter to prime the oil pump directly.

You can hear fordtechmakuloco in the back

Just got done Rebuilding my 2008 FORD F150 5.4L 3V & WHATCH ALL Ford Techmakuloco's Video also. after my 4th attempt as he explains on his videos I STOPPED turning the Engine over ( w/ Crank Sensor unplugged) I then thought what the heck did I do /miss or MESSup? so i go to Melling which I haVE THE 340HV, THEN found your Video on same PROBLEM. I think i understand what your saying. So i should go get like a FRAM or something you recommend? Hard thing is getting to that Sensor... do I really need to buy this KIT at HARBOR FREIGHT? or just pump 5W-30 in that opening until it fills up? or flows out when i remove the Tube. After getting it Primed and the DUMMY GAUGE shows it roughly halfway on Cluster ...do I change out the Crappy filter back to the MOTORCRAFT 820S ? Sorry for this long indepth Comment/Questions but it seems that you know what to do. Thank you in advance. George Amodei :)

T H A N K Y O U I will be doing some upgrades, including the M360hv. 09 5.4 3v 4x4 f150 236k If I understand correctly, Because the oil pump is dry, it will not pull oil from the pan ? So you have to force feed it to get the pump to start pull oil from the pan? Thank you Sir 😊

I really appreciate you making this video. I'm in the same boat right now. When you're pumping the oil through the oil pressure sensor port where you trying to turn over the engine at the same time. Did you have to turn the engine over at all?

great sir g

Hello @jbyrd im about to do the same and your a life saver. Just a quick question aside from the sprayer you used, can I just use a general small liquid lube hand pump gun that has a small cup I can fill with oil and hand pump some oil in their since it also has a small thin tip that can fit in the oil switch hole? Or does it have to be a sprayer like you used?

Umm..ok ???

i'm almost done with my timing job, but this video made me nervous. I'm in same boat - new melling 360 oil pump, cast iron tensioners, ford timing kit, new spark plugs, ignition coils, lots and lots of new parts. is the new oil pump failing to prime a common occurance?

Anyone know what oil filter doesn’t have the oil check valve?

THANK YOU so much for posting! my project was just like yours, but, I had no idea what to do next until your post. Be Blessed from the Most High

So you basically add oil into the port where the sensor is usually connected? I’m at the same point and unable to get pressure on the prime. Thank you

So how do you fix that?

What was the problem

Could you possibly give me a parts list to adapt to propane?

I just went through the same thing with an engine replacement(2006 f250 5.4) your method was the only way I was able to establish oil pressure before starting the engine. I didn't have a cheepie filter, so I put slices in in the silicone valve of an extra filter that allowed it to backflow to the pump. once I achieved oil pressure, I swaped the filter out for a new one.thank you so much for your vidio

Where is the fuel pressure test port?

That laugh is the sound of pure fun! I just put the last bolts on my daughters today. Painted it purple for her too. It looks just like your with a Tecumseh 6.5. Thanks for sharing the video. I hope she enjoys it as much as your passenger did!

How difficult was the wiring? Did you just cut the wires and splice in the switch?

it will pull more amperage when the airflow is unrestricted. try lifting it off the bench.

lots of valve train noise- order a new timing chain and manual tensioner
