- Today it is my honor to welcome you to our next engine build! This series is showing you exactly how to rebuild the infamous Ford Modular Triton 5.4L 3V bolt by bolt! In this video I will show you how to place the engine on a stand and start taking it down to the block so it can be rebuilt. I hope you join me on this endeavor and I'm so excited to get started! Thank you to @SummitRacing for sponsoring this build!

This series is right on time 👏🏿
Love this series! I just started a tear down on my donor 5.4l and this has helped a lot. Keep this series coming please!!
Nice! Next video on Saturday! Thanks for watching!
hey i got a 5.4 with a massive tick
what tools would i need or recommend
i would want to tackle this myself
or what do you think it would cost to rebuild?
@@LxTxSURGEif you do the work and depending on what new parts you get it should run from 2k-4k
Been waiting for another build series! I’m not a ford fan, but I’ll still watch
Appreciate that! I never know what engine I'm building next.
Great video
Thank you Joseph!
Welders are cheap, I've got a MIG that I used to favricate a new shock mount on an old K1500, later bought a TIG and they both do stick. Can't wait until I get a hoist and stand.❤❤❤❤
True, its crazy how cheap stick welders have gotten. Nice! Thanks for watching!
Sooo exciting!! You make the best videos
Yay! Thank you!
A better way to get it out tap the dowel and screw a bolt into it orange to dowel and works great usually
Welder is easier for me, but your way works too! Thanks for watching!
It's a fabulous engine IF you fix the major factory issues before they shell the engine. I have an 07 with 82,000 miles. Just started a light ticking noise. Not sure which issue yet. Trying to decide…. Rebuild myself or order a remanufactures motor.
Could be a simple timing chain tensioner! 82k is pretty young, this engine had 184k and all that was really wrong with it was a tensioner. I could have replaced that and went along probably fine. BUT I didn't want to take any chances, I rely on this truck a lot. Thanks for watching!
Wow ! .That was GREAT !!!
Thank you!
Finally! Wooooo!
I know right?!
Loving these videos, I have a 5.4 that I am going to start to rebuild so it’s great having these to watch first to make sure I know what I’m doing lol. Do you have a parts list for all the stuff you got for the rebuild?
Nice! We will have a whole page made. Thanks for watching!
If you wanted to increase efficiency on this engine, would blue printing and balancing reduce friction much? I’ve read that new heads made by performance shops can help a lot.
Efficiency? Nah. Efficiency won’t be changed any really unless you go super in depth with all the induction, cams, exhaust, and tune.
If you are ever on the big island 😮 Hawaii come by
Would love to! Hawaii is so beautiful! Thanks for watching!
Even with it's problems it's better than the latest Ford release that has block leaks from the factory... Or most of the ecoboost engines that are eating turbos like they were candy.
I like to think this engine is misunderstood and under maintained. Thanks for watching!
I just bought a 5.4 3v with 343,000 miles it has a REALLY bad knock when it gets up to temperature but it stops knocking when you give it gas and it idle back down, anyone know what this could be?
Cam phasers need replaced.
Yep sounds like cam phasers or a tensioner. Thanks for watching!
what was that hose tool at 9:40?
thanks :)
Hey buddy I wanting to learn how to pull a engine out and rebuild one I have a 04 f150 5.4 triton engine 4x4 any suggestions would be helpful getting started
uhm, watch the videos maybe?
Hahahahaha ide have to look again. Been a few years. California has some interesting smog laws based on zip codes
Very true. Thanks for watching!
Great engine , when performing right , but a lot of crap going on wrong , is a POS .
Love mine now! Thanks for watching!
