Get FORScan if you have a Ford/Mazda vehicle. -Best thing you can do.
Brian. Could you link all the associated parts for the bullet proof upgrade?? I have a 05 5.4 myself. Thank you Tom
What could cause a light metallic rattle only above 2500 RPM? Ford Lash adjusters, followers, phasers, and solenoids have about 10k on them.
Call Simply the Best Towing and Recovery. I'll tow them to ya.
Are the rockers for the two valve the same as the three valve?
So this was my truck that I shipped to Brian. 2005 with 122k miles, oil changed religiously every 3k miles alternating between Mobile 1 and Royal Purple. Timing service with OEM Ford parts and HV oil pump was installed 20k prior, I was talked out of doing the rollers at the time by my mechanic. Truck started to progressively go down on power and noise would just get louder. I already invested quite a bit into it and would rather ship it to Brian to fix than buy a new truck. With this fixed I should be good for another 100k easy. 4k for service and round trip transport. Truck runs like NEW, Thank you Brian!!
I can see why you opted for Brian to fix instead of recycling back to original shop. They were ignorant or lazy which cost you more money to go back in and do it right.
What kind of headlights are those?
I'm wanting to know where he is located and how much the total cost was. My wife's 2011 started skipping and I'm afraid that a follower has come off. Truck has about 186,000 miles now.
What codes did you have on this?
@@waynejones3999 I think he's near Chicago but I'm not 100% sure.
Yes please do a bulletproof video with all the tips! Thank you, you are a great teacher, love the detailed explanations.
Yeah, it took me awhile to realize this guy really is a good mechanic.
There are a few mechanics on CZcams, they're vieods are very
" ifees " .
But this guy here, he's right on target, everytime.
Correction he’s a great mechanic for us Ford F-150 guys
@@wealthNwisdom63 Correction again, he’s a great mechanic for ALL things Ford, not just trucks.
@@celticrunes1911 lol yeah of course but since I have a truck that’s my main concern
How can I get in touch with you Brian
If you do the bullet proof video, it should be played mandatory for all the techs at all the Ford shops. Awesome work!
honestly, not just ford even... but all shops period. although this is specifically related to ford but same quality concept for any vehicle.. i say that because i used to be a ford tech but now an independent shop tech..
@@ttstang43 honestly I have a hard time trusting anyone working on my car because of the techs and mechanics that have screwed me
What's the bullet proof video
Exactly why I'm picking up more precision tools to do a full rebuild on my 5.0l I want to do it now but im settling for new timing equipment and followers. Looking a lot of MMR parts.
Definitely do a bullet proofing video of the best things to replace to make sure the motor survives the longest
Definitely says something when folks are shipping their trucks your way for service. Great work!
Where's he based out of?
And this is why folks bring (or send) their trucks cross-country to Brian (we did from Idaho).…...no stone unturned, thorough and done right. Money well spent.
Wow. What did you send it in for? Timing job on a 5.4?
I live in Cali. I do almost all my own maintenance. I have a 10 Ranger 4.0L and a 4.6L Mustang. If either of them need timing jobs, they are getting shipped to Brian. If I need tranny work, it's going to Precision Transmission in TX. Too many hacks around here. Buy once cry once; there is always enough money to do the job right the second time.
@@chrisjackson9102 this is the type of shit that pisses me off as a tech, the hacks in life that give those of us that provide quality and quality service a bad rep, whether the shop or the individual tech.. Makes it harder for the rest of us good ones to get work and make money and make clients a forever deal.. and the last part of your statement will forever be the truth, do it once, cry once and be done... i like how you stated that to.. its pure facts..
I need a Brian in Dallas Texas. Wish ford did a better job of showing where there certified mechanics are.
I had this happen on my 2012 Expedition with 65000 miles and it ate 1/4” off of the cam lobe. The Ford house replaced my trans valve body and catalytic converters. An independent repair shop diagnosed the followers and had it done in two days. The Ford house has it over a month.
I had a tapping sound just like that on my 4.6 3v. I tracked it to cyl 5, pulled the cover and inspected everything. I ended up pulling and testing all the rollers and lifters on the driver's side. Nothing was broken. I was fearing a noisy valve so I went to pull the spark plug to put a camera in th cyl to see what th valves and piston top looked like.
The spark plug was loose enough I could spin the socket with my fingers. A loose spark plug ended up being the the source of the noise. Lesson of the day, don't forget to start with the easy stuff first. 😩
Anyway, thanks for all the vids FTM.
Easy likely
You know you're good when you're customer's come half way across the country
do you know where he is located ?
@@chrisgraham8711 Mid west US I think.
Just outside Chicago

If I had a 5.4 and it needed anything Brian would get it I don't care how far I had to truck it, actually any Ford, he is the man!!!!
I appreciate your passion and detail in your videos! As for the “bulletproof” 5.4 video”, yes please! Planning to do complete timing job on my 06 5.4 and stoked to see it! Thank you.
I am literally waiting on my customer to pick up their 2010 5.4 3v that dropped a valve!!! I pulled both heads, fresh valve job, NEW ROCKER'S and Lifters!!! Had to Replace the 1-4 Camshaft, torn up due to failed Rocker!!! All New Chains, Tensioners and Sliders!!!
New plugs and all Coolant Hoses and Drive Belt!!!
Replaced Rear Rotors and Pads!!!!
All Cost The Customer 4976.39 Parts and Labor and Tax!!!!!
NOW BRING ME MY MONEY!!!!
Keep Rocking It Out Brother!!!!!
Another nice and thorough job (as usual). If only all mechanics followed your example, what a gift to customers that would be.
I love your videos. I live in Texas so everything comes apart easy and no rust to deal with. I lived in New Hampshire for years and felt like more of a rust repair man than a mechanic. I own a 2014 EL King Ranch 4x4 that I did a timing set at 120k. I just bought a 2008 EB 2wd. And I bought it cheap with a terrible timing rattle. I have it torn down now and bought the parts with your links, including the oil pump. The odometer reads 220k and two of the guides were completely gone. Some chewing in to the oil pump, case, block, head, crankshaft tone ring, ect, but nothing serious. The engine had all ford parts and the phasers were still good. The drivers side tensioner had come apart. I’m doing all new ford parts including starter, water pump. There is only a small bit of scoring on the passenger side came caps. Only on 2 of them all the others look great, really great for the mileage. All the roller followers looked great and I was going to reuse them until I saw this video. Thanks again for all your great videos and info. I get requests a lot to make videos of some of my repairs and I’m still thinking about it. I have a great fix for electric running boards and a few other quirky things on fords. Maybe one day I’ll get around to posting them.
Brian thank you so much for giving back to the ford community. Because of your videos I have decided to hold on to my 2006 Ford Expedition 5.4 3v and so the PM to keep it a long time. Look forward to future videos.
Most definitely I will include that on my next timing job I had my truck for 9 yrs almost 300,000 miles and Thank God 🙏 still running like a champ!!! Thanks for all of your videos I learn alot from them. God Bless
Yes please make the 5.4 3v Bullet Proof video! I've learned so much and have been able to take care of many things myself on my owned since new F150 Lariat SC 4X4. Thanks for all of it!
so good to watch a master at work . no bull no if’s no butts ! straight up 100% masters info . loved it . thankyou
He will never run out of content working on these Fords
🤣 LMAO
Brian, you are just fantastic in your content.
A real gift to all the everyday folks trying to keep their under engineered or dare I say engineered to fail vehicles going.
I purchased one of your tee shirts and proudly wear it and am constantly surprised how many people recognize it for your channel.
All discussion that follows is Very positive and very grateful.
Your candid honest opinion and delivery is very much welcome.
Thank you and God Bless
I really feel for you man I’m a mechanic out west when I watch your videos on some of the crusty vehicles that come in i cringe and it does make your job that much more harder but you keep at it brother appreciate it and Semper Fi
My Philosophy for over 40 years as a backyard Mechanic: Don't go Cheep, and if it's a hard to get to Fix, Replace Everything.
I agree, don't do cheap. You pay cheap, you will get cheap. You get what you pay for. There's no such thing as a free lunch.
Amen. I hate doing the same repair twice. Especially the hard, tight, knucle scrapers where you have to close your eyes in order to mentally see what you're doing.
Right Part, Right repair. Cheap Part, You'll be back there.
Later
Ford didn't come up with an update for grins they knew there was a problem.
Working at an independent shop, I still see these quite a bit. Somehow on the last two, the camshaft was unharmed. Lash adjuster & roller follower failure. I work on alot of these engines and have seen some carnage. Thanks for the tips & tricks!👍👍
question, where do you guys order these parts from ? I want to replace my cam shafts and all followers but Brian's link shows they don't fit my 08
Would love one long 5.4 bullet proof video of all the stuff that needs to be done.
This shows you the difference i
a mechanic and parts changer . Well done my man !
Great info, I have an 04 V-10. In 2013- 150k I heard the startup knock, dealer replaced the rollers, 236k still running great. Thanks again, I was trying to remember what happened, 6-7-8 years ago, now I remember.
Awesome video! I just picked up an '06 F-250 4x4 with the 5.4 3v with 124,000 miles. I was hesitant to buy it because of the failure prone 5.4 but for a largely rust free 4x4 F-250 $5,200 was too good to pass up. I know at some point I'll likely need to bulletproof it and I'm glad to know that such a competent tech is only 90 miles away from me. Keep up the good work and may your 2024 be blessed!
I followed this advice from your older video and got Ford Performance to send me some out of R & D. They were so gorgeous I played with them for a day before installing them 🙄. I bought and installed FP timing and phaser kit $535, Melling HV540 oil pump $140, solenoids $140, lifter/follower kit $285. 2006 Mustang 4.6L. the cams were fine so I reinstalled them. I rev to 7000 with no concern. Don't be cheap. Do it right the first time readers!!
Notice how small that "new" follower oil hole is = your oil needs to be exceptionally clean to get thru that hole. =Change your oil and filter more than you think you need to do and use a high quality synthetic oil. -And this person changed his oil real well (super clean engine).
This is my truck, oil change every 3k miles alternating each time between Mobil 1 and Royal Purple. I would also add a qrt of Lucas added with Miracle Oil . Couple hundred miles before oil change I would add Seafoam in the crankcase.
I have the same concerns about that super small diameter oil hole. I foresee the possibility of tiny bit of some carbon or lint or any other odd ball foreign matter plugging it up and you know what is going to happen then! I even wrote Makuloco about this and considered trying to drill them out. Turns out the steel is hardened and that small a bit would be breaking regularly. Makes it worse that the original hole was done before the roller bearing was installed and the angle cannot be matched now if I did attempt to redrill.
The engine was so clean inside, obviously well maintained, then the problem was a bad design.
That bulletproofing video would be great! Thanks for the top tip on those followers.
Thanks for all that experience. This is a wealth of knowledge.
Trailering all the way from California to the best of the best Fordtechmakuloco Brian the best of the best love you man I learn a lot from your channel…
Probably $2-4k to ship this to the Chicago metro area. But new trucks are incredibly expensive $50k + if you can even get one.
That's crazy that someone had work done to have another problem. Then to have it shipped so far for to have a trusted mechanic diagnose & fix the problem properly. THE IS SAD WE DON'T HAVE LOCAL HONEST SHOPS TO DEPEND ON
I dont own a Ford neither i am a mechanic , i learn and try do do as much as i can but watching a real master mechanic doing its thing its so satisfying .. I love and enjoy watching your videos Mr FordTechMakuloco you are the best 👌👌
Very good video my friend, I appreciate your, not only informative videos but your expertise and reasonable prices. You are rare. God Bless You!
You are the best! Thank you for all high quality videos and great content and knowledge. I'm going to tackle this job when the weather improves.
Im doing a timing job on my personal vehicle in my spare time, I wasn't going to change to roller because they look good, but now Im going to order all new sets. I already found a loose chain which was starting to eat into the timing cover and timing sprocket I don't want to have to crack open the engine again one time is plenty enough for me.
Another superb video! Thank you so much for doing these!
Hoping to start my 07 f150 tomiming job this weekend after I get done doing the brakes on the wife's 07 expedition. I have purchased your amazin kit with all the ford components I think ill be ordering these followers before I put everyhting back together.
Hey man! I will definitely be waiting for the bulletproof video, thanks!!!
Thanks Brian...hope to do this soon. Trying to watch everything I can on this. Have '06 5.4.
Once I watch it enough and study my engine...sooner or later I hit a comfort spot where I'm ready to tackle it.
Wish I had another little scoot around car though in case something horrible happens so I'm not stranded. Oh me.
Appreciate your help. Jesus bless.
Watching from Yosemite, Kentucky. Great video as always! Thank you for taking the time to share your work and knowledge. I own a 2002 F150 XLT 5.4 4x4. Everything is stock and only have 72K on it. Starting to get a tapping noise on the passenger side of the engine similar as on this video but not as loud. Only when cold but after 7 miles or so almost disappears. Started about 4K miles ago. Hoping it isn't too serious. Again, great video.
I would love to see a engine rebuild video from Brian. He is so detailed. I’m sure the video would pay for itself with the views. I’ve repaired so much from his videos.
This goes to prove. Old school thought mechanics can listen to an engine along with computer help to find the problem. You can't use just a computer.
True
i love watching guys like you who specialise in one brand, you guys know all the common problems and fixes unlike a genric mexhanic that works on all brands.
Another amazing video thanks for all you teach us!
awesome awesome video!! Wow, learned so much...and the before and after sound is amazing!! Merci
Good to see you got a big AC setup to cool down the shop.
FordTech you need to make a training video for the Ford Engineers and get paid from Ford. Get them to rewrite their maintenance manual.
Great demonstration of Mastery. what a job dear friend. Greetings from Tijuana 🇲🇽 Mexico
Thank you for posting all the great info on this and other videos related.
As a guy still driving a 2007 5.4 F150, I would love to see a bulletproofing video.
Fantastic video. Super clear and very helpful and expert advice.
Love to see the water pump job on the Edge. Wife and daughter both have one may have to do one in the future,!
Brian, all your videos are so well done and extremely helpful....Thanks! Just to clarify, one can replace the rockers arms without replacing the camshaft, as along as the cam is in good condition. Correct?
Yes, please make a "Bulletproofing" video for the 5.4 3V Triton. I'm bout to garage mine and prepare it for some heart surgery.
Apparently, you are a. s. e. certified to be doing these tuning fixes! This video clearly provides what my '08 3V 5.4L has been doing! Thank you for that short result! I, myself desire to "know" how it feel's to be a "master technician" before being labeled one!
I just finished a timing kit rebuild on my 5.4 and i don't even want to get paid to do that same job again
Love your vids most thorough out there
You are the best Ford mechanic!
THanks for the great video. We need a lot more experts like you everywhere. If you recommend anyone or a general mechanic in AZ (Phoenix or Tucson ) please let us know.
You videos are the best. So thorough. Thank you.
Awesome video! Love the channel!!
Love when he does the older 5.4 3v video
Excellent video as always.
Your back has to be made of Iron! I did a full cam follower swap on my 2010 F250 with the v-10 (30 followers) in summer of 2020……my legs were rubber when done….and my back still hurts! Love your videos, immensely helpful for us weekend want-a-be’s.
Look into "mechanics high top creeper" if you do much on higher vehicles. Kinda like a ladder with a small ironing board for you to rest your chest on.
Brian, thank you for the quality instructional videos. I own a 2005 F350 4X4 with the V10 3V 161,000 miles. Is this something I should be replacing on this V10? Everything seems to run good on it. No noticeable noise, I only put 4-5,000 miles a year on it, mostly towing. I change the oil once a year with Mobil 1 full synthetic. Thanks for any recommendations.
Man you are just amazing at what you do. Great material.
Have you had any rocker arms cause damage to a valve ? If so do you have any videos about that? New subscriber, newer than novice with mechanical understanding. Your videos are extremely in depth and exactly what I’ve been looking for! I’m not confident in fixing something like this myself but it is nice to be able to communicate and understand with the person who will be doing the labor.
Love the channel man! I just wanted to share a issue I noticed. As others have experienced, what comes up from the link says it does not fit my truck (2006 FX4). I notice that in the when the page comes up, it has the new part number in the search bar at the top, but its bringing up the old part for whatever reason. For anyone else who maybe be scratching their heads over this the way I have been, I'll point out that in reading the reviews people are confirming that despite ordering the old part number they are in fact receiving the revised part.
bulletproof video please! I'm so excited to follow your video and update my truck. I just bought a mint 2005 and I want to make it immortal.
Hope they'll get back to the classical cam to tappet design with no rollers and improve that if possible, because yes, the roller doesn't have enough or good lubrication on it's small bearing which starts to wear out first and from there the domino comes into play.
Great video man!
Best as always, keep up fellow.👍😘
as a retired Mechanic of 48 years i always used OEM unless Customer wanted different - and honestly when i retired from the field ( even Diesel ) the one Engine i never had or got the chance to Rebuild was the Zero set Static Timed Engines - when those started on the market was about the time i went to Diesel until retirement - any major work like this i would always state to replace all components not just what is wrong or it will be back for service shortly after with more problems -- i would even pull the oil pan on some cases to see if any damage in the bottom half of the engine ( crank shaft , end caps , connecting rods , Main Bearings ) my motto was if its not right it does not leave !!! seen many fast repairs go horribly wrong
Man them new cams, & kibbles/bits look good!
Thanks! and thanks for the help the other day.. Out in Alaska
Great video. I have a 95mustang that you have to crank a few times before it starts any feedback or any videos you may have on this
Sad that there are no competent shops between Yorkville Illinois and the West coast? Good for you but it doesn't say much for the rest of the automotive repair industry, good job, keep up the great work
youre an insnely good mechanic, brian. what are your thoughts on the ford performance hot rod cams for these motors? theyre developed by the same engineers who created the 5.4 3v, id love to hear your thoughts
Looking forward to your "Bullet Proof" video which I hope you'll be putting out soon!
IDK if I should spend some $$$ on my '05 F150 with the 3 valve 5.4L or just opt instead for a brand new truck!
Either way, it's gonna take a lot of $$$...
Thanks for all the videos sir the lord answered my family this year with a 2010 expedition,waited for a year always give the lord a year as the parable says about the fig tree but anyway I’ve used two of your vids to fix something on it .
Thank you, very well done and explained. New sub.
Your the best thanks for making these videos
Thank you Brian. To clarify, the roller followers fail and not some other issue that causes them to fail. Thank you, Tony 2010 4.6L 3V.
Great and helpful videos, thanks
Very nice, thx for the tips, I just finished a swap on a 07’ w/ 5.4 with a reman, it’s rattling pretty bad, guess I’ll be going in!
On my 270k mile 04 I did 05+ cams and 05+ lash adjusters as the 04 cams where $300 each and the 05+ $115. Also did the m340hv and the small hole updated followers.
Love the videos.
So I can use the 2005 parts in the 2004 truck ?
@@eltigredetejas2328I did. I didn’t want to pay a premium for 2004 cams and such. Still on the road
Great Video!!! Not sure if I would trailer an 05 from Cali but good job!!
Think imma save up and send my truck to you when its time for a timing job xD absolute perfection.
Hey there, appreciate your expertize and videos. Did a timing set replacementat 135k miles, rolloer followers were not replaced, 15k later it started ticking. Took out the cam saw metal shavings, the CAM needs to be replaced, but do heads need replacement too? Looks like some scoring on the towers where they hold /meet the camshaft in place.
love these videos. About to buy a 5.4 if I get the right price and pretty sure it needs these replaced as well as timing chain.
Outstanding explanation
Got into a high $ monthly commitment on a 2016 150 eco boost….😰
Thanks for the info brother 😎👍
Had I not seen your video about the 5.4's changing to the Melling 360s HV Oil pump and the cam phasers I was going to do the same thing put it on the transporter and send it to your shop.
Thank you so much for your videos. Do you have a link for the cams on Amazon also or to which video that does?
Very good video! Thanks 👍
Brian, I can't thank you enough for your F150 5.4L 3v videos. I have one question regarding the new design of the roller followers. With the increased back pressure they provide would you still recommend switching to the Melling M360HV oil pump or do you think the OEM pump will suffice now? Thanks again.
Very good video.. thank you for the info.
Thanks I have a Major Noise 4.6 2004 Expidtion It lost oil PSI , so with 220000 miles. I better find a core and do a complete rebuild! Flat rate is 11 Hours to do the OIL pump! and Now I see I better do the Cams! Have a Great 2022!!!!
Smart customer goes to a smart mechanic. Nice!
