    I'm only 15 minutes into your video and I already hit the like button. Unlike most videos out there where the guy sets the camera on a tripod and many times blocks the view with his hands or his body, you took the time to show different angles and showed how to remove different components. I can't imagine how much extra time it took you to shoot it this way. I also love that you name the parts and highlight them in green or circle them. Thank you. All that extra detail really helps. I feel much more confident about tackling this job.

    I now have 1k+ miles after this exact repair (plus a couple things that broke during the process) and wanted to thank you for your highly-detailed video. I watched one or two others which were helpful, but none match your video in quality of instruction. Not sure I would've attempted this without it. So ... THANK YOU.
    Some helpful tips to add for others that may be attempting this:
    -Buy a gasket scraper with plastic blades instead of razor blades. Won't scratch aluminum but will remove all traces of gasket material.
    -Use valve cover gaskets that have "nubs" which grip inside the covers' channels, eliminating the need for sealant/RTV/adhesive
    -Hardest part of the process was getting the passenger side cover back on without damaging or dislodging the gasket. Zip-tie your heater hoses up and out of the way. Remove the oil dipstick tube. Loosen wiring and/or other items, and still it'll be tricky. Practice without the gasket in the cover until you know exactly how to maneuver it. Then place gasket in, position it, then dab your RTV on and finish install.
    -Start all fasteners in the plastic intake manifold before installing it on the engine. Makes for easier tightening in tight spaces.
    -Watch 'FordTechMakuloco' video on installation of spark plugs and recommended torque.
    Follow the excellent video sequence and you'll complete the job successfully and be back on the road! Running at 218k miles myself...

    Shouldnt the dielectric grease be applied only to the ceramic portion of the spark plug? I thought it is an insulator so you don’t want it on the actual electrical connection.

    Awesome video and extremely helpful! I was wondering, have you ever done any fuel injector cleaning on this truck? I have the same truck and I’m at 217k miles with the original injectors. I don’t have any codes and as far as I know, the injectors have never had a proper “cleaning”. Is this a job worth doing? I’ve seen lots of people pop out the injectors and use DIY cleaning kits. What would you recommend? Thanks!

    The most exceptional repair video I have seen here on youtube. Thank you very much for it. I apologize if I missed it...why did you replace the intake manifold? I realize you showed signs of leaks but did you see any cracks on the intake manifold or did you just swap it out due to years of use?

    • @InsaneOil
      @InsaneOil  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The crossover was leaking and the only way to access the crossover gasket was by removing the entire manifold. My research indicated that when it starts leaking then the manifold plastic has begun to crack. Additionally, I figured that if I was going to take the time to remove it, I might as well replace it. 54:38 in the video shows the cracked portion.
