Oh shit, time to watch this 40 times over 👍🏻👍🏻
From the horror stories I’ve been told about mod motors, you made that look easy man. Most dudes would have just said, yeah I didn’t have time film it all but it’s together now and ready to go in the car. For a TH-camr that’s just a normal dude like the rest of us, your doing an awesome job my friend.
thehappyTexan thank you. I was apprehensive to do this video just because some of my verb-age isn’t correct but hopefully it helps people.
Great to see ya back and building the beastly Turbo 4.6. I'm currently saving for a '99-'04 GT. Before, I hate d 4.6's but seeing what you've done with yours it's definitely opened my eyes
Hell yeah. There’s no other guide like this one, now I can rest easy knowing I’ll get the best out of my cam install... someday
Man clicked so fast. Got a degree kit in the mail. Heads are back from a port and polish, comp 270 cams, springs and retainers are in. I'm pumped.
Dakota that’s awesome. Good luck
I needed a good bed time story right before l go to sleep. This was perfect for that 🤗 Andrew Papa, jokes aside.. Thanks for all the hard work and info you provide us 2v guys... waiting for your car running again 😉
turbocsabi haha thank you
My dad and I would like to thank you so much for creating this video. Your video was easy to follow and allowed us to Degree the cams in our 2000 GT in our own garage. We would not have been able to do it ourselves without your video.
Thanks for letting me know. I’m glad my video helped you guys out.
Great video man!! I know it’s an older upload but I’ve been loving watching your channel! Definitely helped walk me through this so I can tackle it with my 4.6l build!
Great vid. Best job I’ve watched decreeing the cams.
Oh my goodness man, this is exactly what I was waiting for! Heckin hell yeah! I think I speak for everyone when I say I appreciate the time you took to put a video up decreeing the 4.6! I’ll be watching this a couple more times through before I put the block back together sometime in the coming months.
My bad on the late reply, busy as heck at work and my daily driver has been full of shenanigans and problems. It’s much less fun fixing the car you need that’s breaking down than working on your project car to make it faster, I’ll say that.
Anyway, super psyched you got this video out bro! Exactly what I was hoping for!
You just made all this make more sense than you know brother thanks for taking the time to make this..
Thank you so much for making these videos! ive had my 2v in my garage since highschool and you inspire me to finally start my rebuild.
Darrence McIntosh no problem. Good luck on your re build
Ive always wondered how this was done and literally the way you explained it made a lightbulb go off in my head. Im ready to try this now.
I've been waiting for this one.
Thanks for teaching us
Michel Durocher no problem. It’s a hard subject to try and teach
That's the best video I've found so far.
Great video and instructions Andrew, thank you!
Thank you Andrew for sharing your knowledge
Thank you. Youve helped me a lot with my 4.6 build
Will be doing this soon myself. Thanks for the video very informative
Great info man!!! I wished I would have had this 4 years ago lol... but I had Todd help me out
You are the 2valve GOD🙌🏻
Lil Cee some would disagree but thank you
They can disagree all they want but the truth hurts feelings , if you opened up shop i believe in you making it👍🏻 i had 2 different “mechanics” try pi swapping my 98 gt and both unsuccessful leaving me unhappy and wasted lots of money on parts and labor, so i had to DIY ls swap my mustang and watching how you build great 2v’s makes me regret the ls swap lol keep up the good content thank you
Lincoln
Good info in this video, btw this is the same process to degree the cam in any engine, LS, sbf, sbc, bbf, bbc, Chrysler. It's just one extra cam, I will be doing this soon on my 2v cam swap.
Great video. I have been wanting to learn this. Thank you so much!
MrWhitetailtracker thank you
Appreciate it man you made me understand
It is a little confusing but I am grateful you are taking the time to explain this stuff. I have no clue how to build engines but with some of this information I hope it will help later. Thank you!
Jam you’re welcome. It is a little confusing especially the first time doing it.
Excellent. Thank you sir.
Thank You Thank You Thank You! 4V here but still good to see.
SVT.Keats no problem. I need to do a 4v eventually but haven’t had anyone offer to let me degree one yet.
Great work keep it up
I guarantee this video gets thousands of views. One of the most necessary videos for 2v owners. Definitely wish I would have went this route with this equipment instead I had to weld a lash adjuster and follower. Replacing the valve springs on top of that while engine is in the car is an absolute pain.
Dakota Lettieri agreed. Replacing the valve springs is a significant emotional event lol
Andrew Lavender definitely not the best way to spend a weekend. Lol
Thanks you!
Nice video. I just went through all of this on my engine. Not to many detailed videos out there. But did get mine running and have my tune/dyno date set. Wish I would have had that crank tool, made it look way easier .
The Mustang Brothers the crank tool is amazing lol
@@andrewlavender08 I will have to order one for the future. I have the tdc crank tool. Just didn't know about the one you have. And I know I will have the motor tore down at some point again. I plan on starting to get some track time in and begin all the safety requirements to attempt to compete in small events.
My favorite channel on youtube easily. I v8 swapped my new edge with a NPI setup, you have me ready to tear it apart LOL! I want a cheap power adder for the time being, should I put P.I. heads on my NPI block? I already have a P.I. intake. Thanks!!! super helpful videos
Holy shit. Me and my buddy just winged it on his engine about a year ago. Definitely will be doing this technique on my engine lol
Thanks, wouldn't know what i would do without your vid lol.
Curious to what your car weighs and what transmission you run? Very impressed with the performance of your on going project. Keep up the great work and sharing the information. Thank you.
Hi Andrew. Thanks a lot for this great video. I already got my trick flow heads with 38cc chamber and I will buy a rotation assembly from mmr that on stock chambers gives 9.5 compression ratio. Not sure what would it be with 38cc... do you know?
Also, in regards of this video how do you know what degrees you are looking for to set up the cams.? I am running the trick flow track-max cams. How many degrees I should set the engine?
Thanks in advance and you are the best!
Se agradece exelente video
Nice 👍
Holy crap Batman!!! 👍👍👍🇨🇦
I was actually looking at the Bullitt 2v Mustangs and I was going to swap the motor out for an iron-blocked built 4.6L 4V lower compression engine ready for supercharging; however, I was looking more and more at turbocharging the engine that is in there... Obviously, I will have to do some work to it, but I was surprised at how much power those 2v's can make!
Kristjen Štjuprić yes I would stick with a 2v for anything up to 800hp for a basic build
Get man did you ever get the chance to finish that Budget 2v build series?
Are those the TFS adjustable Crankshaft gears??? Everyone says you have to drill and pin them together.
What guides are those you have on I got some the same but they don’t fit the same bolt as oem guides
I got one of those motors also I see he has mmr plates what intake is he running?😈
So would you need to do this on a new stock cam install or is this something you would need to do only on aftermarket cams?
I have a 98’ GT that has a knocking 4.6, should I fix? Build? Or just swap for a good one then build that one? What do you recommend?
I know this is an old video so I probably won’t get a response but worth a shot. Did you happen to find the part number on that crankshaft socket
Any chance you have the part number to the crank socket?
years later....thanks. Would the same process for the 3V since it to is single cam just 2 intake valves? other issue is the VVT which is locked. New motor for road racing thanks.
What's the part number for the crank tool? I ordered one that claims it's for all ford v8 but the center is too big for the crank, I can turn the adjuster set screww but I think the oval movement of the degree wheel is not accurate.
So this will work on a 3v if I have my cams locked out and the adjustable gear..
How would you go about verifying timing on a 2 valve 4.6 that doesn't have any balancer marks for TDC. I am going to be installing ms3 standalone and need to verify timing. Engine is fully intact in the car.
This video is going to save a lot of people some money haha. Costing me some tho cause I need some of them tools. Thanks for posting sir.
Mad Mod no problem. Tools are a little pricey but worth it
@@crownvictorialifestyle4421 Run your car not your mouth man. I've gone faster on stock NPI parts than your lead sled Vic is gunna do with even 3x the budget. I sell used parts and have been into modulars for a lot of years so forgive me for not knowin about a modular piston stop tool (which I even thanked the man for posting about). I guess having to use a micrometer for tdc is bordeline caveman to you. As for the actual math which you hunted me out for the third time over, the base circle of the lobe must be reduced to gain lift beyond .550 at the valve. That's not a guess, it is fact. I never said it cannot be used. Lowering base circle only adds to the space compensated by the slow bleed lash adjusters as stock on pi(vs fast bleed downs in NPI like I have which is entirely why this conversation mattered in the first place). The lash adjuster doesn't take up lash instantly and having less base circle means when they do see oil pressure, they are becoming solid up further on the lobes ramp meaning your low lift and duration values are not being fully put the valve. You do not see full lift or duration unless the lash adjuster is solid on the rise of the lobe. I won't go as far as to say it's detrimental but it certainly messes with the geometry of an otherwise maintenance free valvetrain and can likely lead to excessive wear. I also know there no way in hell your fitting .575 lift on even 220° duration at .050 without flycuts which 99% of people dont want to do on budget pi motors anyways so it's just a scenario anyways. I'd bet you Andrew runs a much higher viscosity oil than stock which will help the adjuster pump solid faster. There's no right or wrong answer and try not to get so offended on behalf of me next time.
@@crownvictorialifestyle442129 and narcissistic, call me impressed. I am lost as to how this post warranted the internet tuff guy flex aimed to me being the "person who talks shit who don't know things on the internet". You give a great image to the people who actually may try watching your content. Your happiness comes from money money money and getting to spend it. I have more hobbies than just my Stang and buying aftermarket car parts especially when Im already stocking and selling mod parts. I'll keep going faster with oem parts and I look forward to seeing your twin turbo Navi Vic. Shouldn't be too long with a blank check.
@@crownvictorialifestyle4421Btw, It's likely smarter to just not engage on the internet when you can't leave your own comments up. Saves the time of going back and deleting them.
Where can i get the lash adjuster. Thanks
Do I have to do this when I do a pi head swap?
Are those the xe278ah ?
what type of cams is best for 2002 mustang gt
hey do u build 4.6l for individuals just wondering i am looking for someone to help me build mine
Part number on crankshaft tool ?
So after youve set the timing on right driver side you can turn the crank to find tdc for the left passenger side or ?
Cylinder 1 and cylinder 6
Having a little trouble getting my tune right. What kinda of timing are you running?
Brady Schmitz 24-25 degrees wot NA timing
Running stock upper cam gears here, I've watched countless videos on this process. This one was the easiest for me. But I have a question. Comp cams in my engine. How often do you get a degree variance LH to RH banks? My RH bank is 6 degrees R to get 109 ICL. My LH only took 2 degrees R to get the same number. Have you seen this before?
If I remember correctly I see about 2 degrees diffidence between the right and left back to get my desired ICL. I’ll have to go dig in my notes and see for sure
@@andrewlavender08 a few months late here but after discussing with MHS they said with stock cam gears thats not unusual. Regardless motor runs great now. Thanks for the video and reply!
Why do you degree the cams?
No link for crank tool
Hey Andrew I have a question I hope you can help me with. So I got a 96 mustang gt, the motor have forged rotating assembly. Npi heads and intake. The pistons are a true flat top piston. I got the car with no specs on the build but doing research I see that flat top pistons with not relieve cut outs for the valves gives the motor a 10.99.1 compression ratio. That explains the reason I have to run premium fuel. Now my question is would I be safe to run a blower or turbo? My end goal is at least 450wrhp but if like 500rwhp if possible. Any advice?
On pump gas only if possible
Tee Jay if you want to run a blower on that set up you need at least meth injection and a good intercooler.
@@andrewlavender08 I appreciate the reply Andrew. I know you're very knowledgeable on these 2v motors and im sorry for what happened to your block. You was about to make history for the fastest 2v I swear!. But anyways if you had my set up what would you do to the car personally? Npi heads and intake built motor flat top pistons with a 10.99.1 compression ratio
Nobody gonna mention he used a torque wrench counter clock wise?
OH cool, I've always wanted to learn how to do........2:19 never mind I'll let an expert do it LOL
brucehawk09 it’s not that bad lol....
@@andrewlavender08 thanks lol
At 20:19 why the number 50?
I've looked everywhere and cannot find the adjustable lash adjuster, can you send a link of where to find one?

@@andrewlavender08 Thanks man, great video!
Does different tune will change the idle sound of aftermarket cams on a 2v? Like changing A/F and timing? What Rpm at idle would set it for best sound?
Alain Dube the lower you can idle the more “lopy” it will sound. Getting a cam for sound only is not a good choice
Andrew Lavender thank you Andrew. Because i think the lope is not exactly the same after the tune but it could be just me. But the gain are awesome. 41 rwhp
Anthony Mayz yes i have done the cams alone. But i already had Jlt cold air, tfs plenum, accufab 75 mm TB, slp LT headers, O/R x pipe , SLP cat back Steeda’s underdrive pulleys and SCT tune on the car before the cams
on a 4.6L NPI engine can I fit f-150 4.6L 2v Pi cylinder heads?
Ofc
Will you publish a build sheet? You know, full parts list and adjustment values.
Ktothe Swiss did a video a while ago but once I get the new build ironed out I’ll do another video going over the details
@@andrewlavender08 Thanks, I have an 04 GT and would like to build a 2 value with scary power and it looks like you are the source of knowledge. Sorry about that shit deck job that blew past the head gasket, hopefully it will get squared away with little to no cost to you, thanks.
Need You help
You don’t. You just drop them off to you with cash and don’t worry about it being wrong 😂
Arghh! My brain hurts....lol
Great information! Thank you.
I didn't see a link to the crankshaft socket you mentioned so I looked at Summit. I think this is the one - I hope anyway because I just ordered it!
www.summitracing.com/parts/cca-4798
I measured my crank and keyway - and got 1.25 inches and 0.18 inches respectively.
Yes it fits!
