- Today we are continuing our @SummitRacing sponsored How to Build a 5.4L 3V engine series! In today's episode we are putting on our timing cover, roller followers, valve covers, and rear main seal. It is really important to install everything perfectly to not get leaks and have the valvetrain work correctly. If you have any questions please leave down below and thank you for watching!

I tied braided fishing line in a loop through the oil passage on the lifter side of the follower. This allows you to keep that end up as you slide it in and right on top of the hydraulic lifter.
I bent a piece of 12 guage electrical wire(from romex) in a small loop to pull the fishing line under the cam lobe. Then grab the loop and guide the roller follower in place. Makes this much easier!! when you get it in place, cut the fishing line, and pull it through the hole having the knot in your hand. Then release the valve spring!!! Try it it works!!!
Love the inventiveness! But if I show anything less than the factory way of doing it everyone in the comments gets very shouty at me. Thanks for watching and great idea!
hello and congratulations for your videos. I'm writing to you from Italy, because I'm timing my Ford Mustang GT 2010 4.6 3V. now I have to replace all the roller followers. I wanted to ask you if it is right to do one side at a time and one "piston" at a time? when I place the followers is it enough to be careful that the cam lobes are with the rounded part facing downwards? Or do I also need to check the piston position?
I found the crank oil seal doesn't center if you torque down the cover first, rather install four bolts on the cover finger tight, then install the flywheel partially until the seal is centers on the flywheel, then torque down the cover bolts.
Love my 2010 King ranch
Love the RTV! I have had way too many leaks to not have it.
Only if you don't want it to leak! Thanks for watching!
I like that very good ❤
I haven’t built one of these, but I’m watching because I have an ‘07 I just bought. Great info… quick question though… would it not be easier to install the roller followers before putting the cam in? Is there a reason to put them in with this tool? Or is this just one more thing a dumb Ford engineer came up with?
Yes, you won’t be able to bolt the cam down. Or rotate it to time the engine.
Ok so are all valve covers 10 bolt now because I have yet to see a video that addresses the elephant in the room. It seems ford re did all valve covers in 2010, but all the 15 bolt valve covers are impossible to find so can I use a new 10 bolt cover and gasket on my 15 bolt head?
Yeah I did in this very video. Thanks for watching!
To get the piston down do you turn the crank? If that one piston is down doesnt it mean the other side is down too? So you can do those too?
Yes. Yes. It is just easier to do one side at a time. Thanks for watching!
I have those valve covers for my mustang. The look good but bad thing about them is the powdercoating will flake off soon
Good looking out! I just sprayed clear coat on them to hopefully avoid it due to this comment! Thanks for watching!
Let you and I swap 5.4 3 valve engine's. Mines of a 2008 late model with the one good spark plugs don't know if it's the original motor but it's got 259000, and runs good, oil change every 3500
What a deal for me! Haha thanks for watching!
Can we place the Roller Followers in place and then install the camshaft?
Nope. It will interfere with the torque specs when you try to tighten down the cam caps. Thanks for watching!
@@2carpros good to know, thank you.
My timing cover was leaking oil at the bottom bolts and running all over the bottom the vehicle, made the oil Pan look like it had a leak and I thought it was the rear main seal. Ford uses the Same Bolts to hang other components from. When someone works on those components they don't realize if they over tighten the bolt it is Crushing the timing cover gasket. So you end up chasing oil leaks. Thought it was the Oil filter adapter gasket, no. Timing cover gasket.
Yep. Important to not over tighten! Thanks for watching!
10:00 there is a torque spec for the front cover. You got the wrong valve covers!
They are for that engine and don't leak so I don't think so. Thanks for watching!
There are 2 different types for the 5.4L- 9 bolt and 15 bolt...
Hello. I don't see the special tool you use to install the front main seal. The driving tool.
👍👍👍👍👍
It’s not a handle it’s to line up the crank perfectly to the dowel
I can't not say it. Sorry.
I'm not a fan of RTV where it didn't come from the factory. Those main seals are going to be *fun* to remove and get cleaned up next time... Source: Had to do such before where it shouldn't have been used, and I'm still mad about the extra time the 10 minute seal swap job wound up being a lot of delays of days waiting for more parts and a lot more time disassembling/assembling things I shouldn't have... all due to the idea of 'ya need RTV there, it'll leak!' No, it won't, it's a sealing surface, the parts are designed to do that without RTV. If it does need RTV, the parts are bad/need machining/fixing, don't patch it with RTV. Ugh.
Sorry for my negativity, you are such a positive guy, Ryan. But yeah, me and RTV where it's not called for are not friends. :p
Also, I thought the rear main seal plate used anaerobic sealant, not RTV? *shrugs* Just I had to get that extra specially for my 4.6 when I did the rear main during the clutch job... Now I feel wronged somehow. :)
Thanks for all you do making this channel work, still lovin' this 3v rebuild!
Yeah but I'd rather clean up old RTV than constantly clean up a leak. I've definitely had leaks on something that shouldn't that had a gasket. I see it as cheap insurance. No one, including me is going to send their head and block black to the machine shop just to make sure the timing cover fits perfectly flush when you can just use a tiny amount of RTV and be perfectly fine.
Ok that's fine, like I said in the film dont use it if you don't want to. That's what makes racing as my Dad says.
I think it's splitting hairs. I have always used RTV on a rear main and never had a problem.
Thanks so much for watching! :)
You look familiar Ryan
Hmmmm what could it be? Haha thanks for watching!
finally lol
