Very very great Video! ❤❤❤ You sir are good;
Thanks for posting the video.
Good help for me.THANKS!!!!
Anyone else notice the bolt fell in the engine
LOL!! YES!!! The whole reason i came to the comments section!! 🤣😂😂😂😂
that manual at 23.00 min, is that available to anyone ? and if so where could i download a manual like that
You look fine..and your boss is the best!
Haha thanks Carlos! 👊
the head on firewall side gets MORE OIL, that's why it's more golden tan brown.
Thank you for your posting. This
Great video
My heads were discolored the same exact way. One varnished and one looks new. 141,000 miles. I thought the same as you until I saw your video. It may have something to do with more heat at the firewall?
Thanks for sharing 👍. Seems like that's normal for these engines. You might be on to something with heat buildup 🤔
the way to do these cars is, buy a junkyard motor, go through it, have it on stand rebuilt, stored/covered. when the one in car goes, change bullets. then go through bad one, put on stand, storage. rinse. repeat. better off doing those chains, gaskets, seals on a stand, rather than in car. techs have be thrown under bus by design engineers, extreme limited access. when you're 61 you'll realize why. it kills your legs, behind the knees, tendons, etc. leaning over fenders. tendinitis.
how many miles were on this car before the timing chain needed to be changed? i'm at 150k miles now on my 2012 fusion and wondering if i should have this done
I can't remember exactly but it was under 200k
@@ValleyMobileAutomotive While I’ve found this reply enormously helpful in my diagnosis on my 07, I shall now fall into a cool but steady state of deep frustration as I research how to get this done within the next 10-5k miles on my Escape. 🫠🔫
Like, really? At 125k on the nose this *itch needs to be done because what’s happening in my mfkn crankcase at the moment is no bueno. Why not use a belt for f*** safe if the service interval has a floor this low?! 😡🤬
good evening, do you know if this timing is the same like the ford escape 2009 duratec v6 vvt 3.0?
Very informative thank you very much. My 2010 escape 3.0 v6 with 180k has a rattling and i suspect its a timing chain or possibly cam phaser? It also has the front cover leaking oil everywhere so im thinking to change everything at the same time. this fusion engine looks very similar except mine has plastic valve covers and electric power steering so no power steering pump. Not much info on the 09-12 escape for the timing chain or phasers.
They are very similar but not exact. You could pick up a manual for the specifics and use my video as a visual aid.
I have one of these engines- the timing chains should be double roller, or at least single roller, and there should be matchmarks on the cams, chains, balancer, TDC indicator. it's a Mazda design Ford adopted. that's why it's so hokey. there should be no guesswork or room for error. this is why Mazda is 2nd rate.
excellent job boss, buuuuut. I think that it service needs a relearn .
Where do I get the gasket for the side that covers the timing chain?
What timing chain kit would you recommend?
Those bolts always break spit it off got stuck in the frame 💀i said screw haven’t fixed it in 2 months haven’t had issues 😅
Great stuff! Glad I found your channel!
Are the timing chain cover bolts different lengths? Do I need to keep them in a specific order?
48:08
Believe all are the same length but try to keep them in order. Especially the left hand side where the 13th bolt (top left) and the 1st bolt( second from the bottom on the left) are different.
I have an 02 Ford Escape 3.0 and i think the timing chain jumped. I can’t get anyone to confirm my suspicion, all the sudden after sitting for a few months I go to use the car and it had no power. After hours of investigation I found the front 3 cylinders had exactly 60psi where the back 3 had 155. I really hope I’m making a mistake going forward and replacing the timing chain. It’s odd as the car only has 92k miles and has been babied. Also do you have a way to send a copy of a manual for an 02 escape 3.0? Thanks
Was timing chain the issue? Just had same issue on friend's car.
No in my case it wasn't the timing chain. I took it all apart and found everything was still in time. What I should it done before I tore into it is a leak down test which showed I was leaking past the rings on all 3 cylinders. My thoughts were because I had taken the manifold/header off on that side and a freak snow storm burried the car and was like that for months and that some rust formed on the cylinder walls and caused my issues. After soaking the 3 cylinders in MMO, acetone, and some other things, I got them to reseal and while not 100% it's better. If you suspect the timing jumped I would suggest pulling both valve covers, and check the timing on the marks on the camshaft. There are lines/marks on the backside of the camshaft gear that you can use. If both banks line up then it didn't jump a tooth.
@@Diebog Thank you!
Adverts went on and on ……
The color difference between heads could be related to heating; I mean, if you research a little, you’ll find lots of oil starvation related problems with fusion on this years. I suffered myself with this issue; without warning, the engine just stopped working, and a week later went burned down. At the dealership they’ve opened it to find that one head was done. Lots of metal chips and the color difference you’ve already mentioned.
My actual problem: after 5 year waiting, change of ecm due to too much waiting, nobody could set timing, until I payed lots of cash at the dealership, then they gave it back with a check engine light on. The code mentioned “P0012 camshaft position timing over retarded bank 1”. Right now has power lose on hills, stalls occasionally, and low gas mileage.
Hope yours does not get burned.
Fast solution: inside cleaning with a Motor Medic motor flush… yeah, this engine starvation issue related to small oil galleries is very common. Check it out.
it's a schitt design. he did a fine job on it though fixing it. why use 4 cams, 4 valves, all the bling, when a 3.5 liter GM V6 makes the same power. single cam in block is wayyy more reliable!!
@@tunnelportterror That's why I bought the 2011 F150 with the 6.2L. Easier to work on than the 5.0L dohc. I rebuilt the 4.6L dohc in my '96 Cobra and it was more work than it was worth really.
About how much this job cost?
The cost of this repair is mostly labor. That varies widely from area to area. The ballpark would be $1,500-$2,500
where can i get that pdf?
Unfortunately I'm unable to share this PDF 😕. Hopefully there is enough information in this video for you to follow 👍
@@ValleyMobileAutomotive all good just have a question then i have forgotten which pulley goes where the smooth one and the other one thats the same size
@@shanehibbard9353
Look at time stamp 56:15
You don't record entire thing ? Waste
He recorded a lot more than you did.
@@Camo-Danskips the entire reassembly. Which if you actually did anything in life, you'd understand the importance of. It's the difference between just some idiot fucking around and somebody who's actually completed the job
Take it off, put it back, no take it off, wait I should get the battery disconnected. Amateur hour.
Pikaaaah?
