The clean oil is a combination of things - frequent oil changes, engine temperatures not getting excessively high and the fact that the 4.0 is a Cologne V6 - masterpiece of engineering.
Always enjoy watch the content. For extra ideas Bosch will have some more modern injectors that are better than the originals you don’t have to go aftermarket. Automotive injectors usually come in three main heights(34mm/48mm/60mm), two main impedance options(high/low oe’s for ford are usually high impedance). Just use the flow rate which is 19#. I’d look for 4 hole 8 hole Injectors, which improve atomization over the single hole injectors from the 80s and 90s. Upgrading the injectors will help with atomization allow improved throttle response, minuscule fuel economy increase(may not be noticeable)and smoother idle but not power per say(there is more to it than I’d like to explain it really doesn’t pertain to your build). You could get away with up to 23-24 lb injectors as the computer would be able to correction adjust the flow to match its performance. I believe 23# were used in some of the ford v8s.
You really should invest in a blasting cabinet, preferably one that has a big side opening door that can accept bigger pieces, it's a life changer! But glad to see that the engine is in good mechanical shape! The 4.0 can be pretty restricted in terms of intake. You can get a very nice intake with good flow injectors to get it peppy without spending a ton of money!
I never get tired of your attention to detail and since of humor. Such a pleasant part of the day. Thanks Sarah......p.s. Rustoleum Rust Reformer rattle can. Fast drying and works great on just about anything.
As a small TH-cam creator, I just want you to know what an inspiration you are to those of us who struggle to be relevant. Thank you for great content and all your hard work.
I know you think you have OCD, that is not what you have. You are not one to accept OK. Perfection is what you want and you work so hard for perfection. You never ever give up. That is why we all love and adore you.
It would be advantageous to keep the air compressor as far away from the item being blasted as possible in order to keep the baking soda dust from being sucked into the compressor pump and into the engine intake. Aside from that, all looks great!
TIP: get a cheap 4-man tent used or NEW, that you can stand up in., that's easy to set up (plenty on market), use sandbags to hold it in place and use it as temp Sandblast booth outside. should help with gunk blowing every when trying to do job safely.
Clearcoat the bare aluminum after using Alumiprep or AlumiBrite products.... They remove the natural protective oxide layer exposing the AL to more advanced oxidation, so protection is important after cleaning.
There is something so effing special about this restoration, loving every second of it. Seriously seriously cool. And……your presentation skills are superb and the editing just spot on. I think I might just be your number one fan based on nothing but respect. Well done indeed.
Hey! There was a recall on the 93-94 4.0L for a leaking intake gasket. If you change out the gasket, make sure that you replace the studs in the corner with bolts. If your gasket WAS changed recently, they probably already replaced the studs for you. FYI: The best gasket is the steel one with rubber seals.
To prevent unwanted sleepless nights after soda blasting I would suggest using a 3M full face respirator. Your eyes will then have filtered air and it looks cooler then goggles.
Is it just me, but I absolutely love when new parts are unpacked and arrive 🥱as a girl with just brothers and cars, I adore cars and tools. I never admit it cos I think it’s kinda weird to other people to hear that 🤣🤣🤣
Your obsession to detail, makes my heart happy. We are kindred spirits, or perhaps (less than ) sane. Love this restoration project, Gram will be pleased.
Hi Sarah, don’t worry about the time table. Getting your grandma’s truck sorted is more important. Your doing a great job! We appreciate the blood sweat and tears your doing for this build. Thank you!
A bit of advice when using a sand/soda/glass blasting gun, ALWAYS wear a face shield as well as the goggles and respirator, this prevents any particles from entering around your goggles and the rebound of these particles from hitting your face.
If it's a Morse Chain, change it around 250k miles. It's the same with our MoPaR 3.3 / 3.8 V6, maintain per book and the only thing that wears, is that the timing chain slowly stretches. Replace the chain and the ECU relearns the engine and its back like new.
You really need a sandblasting helmet and suit to protect yourself. Unbelievable how well maintained the engine is. Don't stress, the pace of your projects doesn't matter to me; it's your attention to detail and personality that keeps me here. Lol.
Troubleshooting and Removal to Facilitate Other Maintenance. You will never forget that. The first camera shot in this video looks like 2018 Sarah I had to make sure I was on the right video. Love the series of the old ranger.
“Every job is a self-portrait of the person who did it” Sarah you’re over here turning out absolute masterpieces, because each job reflects how much you care!
4:29 - ....so far in my experience, furniture dollies from the likes of Harbor Freight or big box hardware stores are cheap. You can place any receptacle or storage container you have in your garage onto after only possibly needing a slight modification not only to make transport to the tools/[refills] easy but also opening up shop configuration and storage options = being able to roll away into storage under a counter/below a shelf, freeing up operational floorspace. Might likely even be able to make your own from specific swivel casters you select yourself from the same Harbor Freight Tool / [other hardware store] and configured for a lower-slung (down, in between the wheels) dolly design that might cost abput the same or, possibly, cheaper especially if you're repurposing some lumber laying around from engine/shipping crates, etc. ✌️🖖👋
On the fuel injectors, call Fuel Injector Specialists in Arvada, CO. You can find them on the internet. It is very likely the can rebuild them. I had a set of injectors done on a Mitsubishi 3000GT Vr4 several years ago. Cheap to rebuild and also included flow testing.
That engine is very clean inside, of course if it's only got 90k on it, it's just broken in. One part to check if you haven't already, is the thermostat neck. Those are well known for rusting through and making pin hole leaks.
New soda blaster works so good. Thanks to your OCD, you saw the injectors bad condition. Many others would assume they were good because of the overall engine condition. OCD is a good thing.
11:40 manufactures used to include a cork gasket (not for this engine) called a china rail, because it curved and looks like the great wall of china. I always chucked those in the trash, and used a thick bead of RTV. in the 35 years plus I've been working as a tech, I've had 0 leaks and 0 comebacks for a intake job. Therefor, it works...
Not sure if you'll read this or not, but the fastest way to remove paint as well as rust, is to use that needle scaler you have, it will rip that stuff off like its an eraser
Try a harbor freight floor mount sandblast cabinet plus some Eastwood Diamond Clear clear coat for your aluminum after you beadblast it. You will also need some glass beads. Don’t get them inside the engine. Plus add a 220 volt compressor.
When you work on your own you own 7 days a week you can forget when stores are open and closed. Your Gram did a good job with the maintenance on the ranger. The only issues are the corrosion from salty moist winter roads. It is going to look so clean when done.
I would have never of thought. I’m in the Marines now, almost a year in after my birthday soon. I hope to work on bikes when I get out and hopefully work my way up. I want to do detailing while I’m in though.
The way you do your restoration on this truck, that has a lot of sentimental value to you, is mind blowing! You really go the extra mile on every detail and the result is going to be a very beautiful gem that is better than when it came out of the factory! I really love your way of working and I have nothing but respect for that! Looking forward for the next video on this series 👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😀
I love your content you are a real sweetie. I like to fell out of my chair literally when you said "robots got to have babies too" Love the car stuff you are a lovely sweet girl and are so entertaining. An old grandpa and admirer (thanks for loving Grandma and restoring her truck) I'll be watching as your adventures unfold. Be safe
INSPIRATION: repurpose the parts Ranger cab as a blast cabinet! Trim off the fender supports, install the glove ports in the firewall. The windshield should be just the right angle for viewing your work, and the interior volume and large doors would make it a dream to work with.
Get you something like a welders flash shield. They are kind of like cubicle walls in an office. But the wall is made of canvas. Use them to block the wind when you blast.
The injectors are Bosch EV1 series. The metal body is fairly thick, so that corrosion may not affect function. The color of the top plastic overmold indicates the static flowrate in lbs/hour. Yellow I remember was 19 Lb/hour and blue was 24 Lb/hour, but I can’t recall what red was (maybe 14 Lb/Hour). The later Bosch injector design (EV6) was a fully plastic overmolded unit with essentially the same physical specs/fitment. You might be able to find those in the red color.
Hey I understand getting less done everyday than I thought hahah. Thanks for the videos. Great content and a very informative narrative. Have a great day!
Doing it right as usual. When you said you were going to paint the valve covers I began to remind you to clean them up first. How dare I think you wouldn't! What a perfect job you're doing and new injectors were to be expected. I admire your dedication.
When using an aluminum brighter, use hot water, as hot as you can get it. My BIL welds aluminum tankers and uses his steam cleaner to blast off the surface gunk which simultaneously puts a lot of heat into the metal. Spraying brightner on the hot surface makes a huge difference in it’s effectiveness.
I feel sorry for you Sarah. I know how tediously difficult it is to work on an engine, yet that's how we learn to work smarter, not harder. Press on Airman!
Since you have the M12 batteries already, you should consider the right angle die grinder -- it's great for detailing with a wire wheel like you had to on the valve cover! Model 2485-20
Been considering M12 for that system's pluses and minuses if given a space in the tool drawer.... Coming up strong for the ~form-factor. 👍 If you don't mind elaborating, what other select M12 tools would you say make your top handful of considerations for its efficacy-per-size/form-factor?
You need to use the Harbor Freight Abrasive Blasting Hood 62378, 38138 Your hair and eyes will appreciate it. I haven't used it, but when I home built a blasting cabinet I used tear off sheets to pretect the plexiglss window. You could use some type of tear off covers to keep the face shield alive on this too I would guess. Make sure you pull a sweatshirt or long shirt over the apron of the hood. Stuff can still sneak up under if it isn't blocked off.
I get paid $16/hr to rotory with 3/64” inch shank carbides and your type of sanding barrels. I also use wire of three types (3metal 3 shapes) and buffing fiber and cotton with compound for hi/stall torque converters. But the boss still wants me tossing 3 tons of scrap in an hour once every three months. I have this engine in my truck. Thank you for attention to detail. My co-workers care for measuring not finishing 🐸
I worked over my OHV my explorer runs so nice I can't buy a new car. I feel bad I didn't clean up my lower intake now. Tensioners usually last forever. The lower end of this engine is pretty indestructible. I did replace my injectors. They were very rusty from upstate NY. I got remanufactured ones for $60 a set. I had an injector get a rust pinhole and cause a real mess. I also painted my valve covers, but I had to get new ones. Mine were fully rotted out. some bolts flanges gone. I also got a ford lower intake gasket.
Hey Sarah, that’s awesome the Engine is as clean on the inside as you did the outside. I’ve never seen a V6 or a V8 that clean. A in line 4,6 yes but not a V hurry up and close that thing back up before all the magic gets out!🙂🐧🐧🐧👍🏻
Thanks for the laugh Sarah. You made me think of the following: X Discrepancy: Intake and assoc hardware removed to F.O.M. Corrective Action: Intake and assoc hardware installed IAW 1F-1994-4.0 Section 3 Para 3-4 🙃
Ive done a ton of welding & sand blasting 40 ton westinghouse stator frames right out of high school in thee days, eye wash cups may be your best prevention💜☕
The clean oil is a combination of things - frequent oil changes, engine temperatures not getting excessively high and the fact that the 4.0 is a Cologne V6 - masterpiece of engineering.
Thanks, Gram, for maintaining this engine. The injectors aren't your fault.
Always enjoy watch the content.
For extra ideas Bosch will have some more modern injectors that are better than the originals you don’t have to go aftermarket.

Thanks for the advice, I have a 4.0 OHV V6 with same issue!
Its amazing how clean that engine is! Your grandmother really kept up with the oil changes.
When these 4.0 OHV engines are properly maintained, you can sometimes see factory cross-hatching in the cylinders even after 250,000 miles.
My day just got better. Much needed Sarah distraction.
If it isn't broken,don't fix it!
You've done a fantastic job with this project. I look forward to it's completion.
You really should invest in a blasting cabinet, preferably one that has a big side opening door that can accept bigger pieces, it's a life changer!
But glad to see that the engine is in good mechanical shape!
The 4.0 can be pretty restricted in terms of intake. You can get a very nice intake with good flow injectors to get it peppy without spending a ton of money!
I never get tired of your attention to detail and since of humor. Such a pleasant part of the day. Thanks Sarah......p.s. Rustoleum Rust Reformer rattle can. Fast drying and works great on just about anything.
Agree... used some on my F150 4x4 rustoration when installing new front brake caliper.

Grams would be proud!! So excited to see the resto in a few months.
I had cat eggs for breakfast!! Sunnyside up.
It would be advantageous to keep the air compressor as far away from the item being blasted as possible in order to keep the baking soda dust from being sucked into the compressor pump and into the engine intake. Aside from that, all looks great!
That thing has survived much worse, lol.
That and also you should stay up wind
Things that make me feel old- seeing someone restore a car that was new my senior year of high school....
Always excited when I see a new Sarah vid!
It'll get there, this just means more Ranger content for us, which is BONUS!
"removed to FOM" ha... you do an amazing job of "getting your hands dirty" while staying so clean at the same time.
TIP: get a cheap 4-man tent used or NEW, that you can stand up in., that's easy to set up (plenty on market), use sandbags to hold it in place and use it as temp Sandblast booth outside. should help with gunk blowing every when trying to do job safely.
Nails are gorgeous Sarah!

It’s crazy how Sarah has not broken any nails doing this kind of work
Oh, I break them fairly often. Superglue, blood, and a little magic with a dremel and clear dip powder fix most breaks.
@@SarahnTuned Ohhhh Oof damm ouch funnn
@@SarahnTuned Oh... But soooo worth it , Your attention to detail on Sarah is enjoyed just as much as on equipment Pretty Lady !
I never thought seeing a V6 out of a Ranger being Painted and all cleaned up so Satisfying!
Troubleshooting and Removal to Facilitate Other Maintenance. You will never forget that. The first camera shot in this video looks like 2018 Sarah I had to make sure I was on the right video. Love the series of the old ranger.

I am enjoying this video series... your Gram would be proud of you!
you pay so much attention to detail..love watching your work Sarah , its great your making your grams pick up restored..
Your Gram would be very proud of you for this restoration! Well done!
One of my favorite youtubers =) . Thanks for another great video.
Sarah: this engine is in good shape. Proceeds to disassemble and clean everything. Love it

Nothing like blasting on a hot, sweaty day. Sand gets literally everywhere. You chaff if places you shouldn't.
I love the fact that you're rebuilding a 94 Ford Ranger, Like it was a $500,000 antique supercar!👩🔧
Lol
Best car channel on TH-cam.
Sarah you look tired, don't over do it.. have some me time.. anyway fantastic job girl... peace
Yeah, no doubt, especially in light of the soda blasting exposure.
Waffle of doom is very accurate. My buddy darn near sliced his jugular cutting a bolt using one of those when it grenaded.
You are amazing! I am sure that your grand-mom watches you from above taking care of her truck! What a tribute for HER!
Sarah, you are doing a fantastic job on your Grams truck. The thing I enjoy most is when you do something you do it right.
That engine is very clean inside, of course if it's only got 90k on it, it's just broken in. One part to check if you haven't already, is the thermostat neck. Those are well known for rusting through and making pin hole leaks.

My shop is way too small for that. It’s cramped in here as it is.
The finger on the funnel opening to use it as a cup, brilliance.
Nice work Sarah. Can't wait to see the finished product.
Get you something like a welders flash shield. They are kind of like cubicle walls in an office. But the wall is made of canvas. Use them to block the wind when you blast.
Great job! I do enjoy the show, Great sense of humor and being honest about what you do and do not know.
I have been watching you for years and am still amazed at your attention to detail.
FYI, later years had winglets under the valve cover bolts to provide wider clamping force for more even holding.
The injectors are Bosch EV1 series. The metal body is fairly thick, so that corrosion may not affect function. The color of the top plastic overmold indicates the static flowrate in lbs/hour.

I feel sorry for you Sarah. I know how tediously difficult it is to work on an engine, yet that's how we learn to work smarter, not harder. Press on Airman!
You might think you got less done, but was still a great upload! Thanks as always
Since you have the M12 batteries already, you should consider the right angle die grinder -- it's great for detailing with a wire wheel like you had to on the valve cover! Model 2485-20
Been considering M12 for that system's pluses and minuses if given a space in the tool drawer.... Coming up strong for the ~form-factor. 👍
If you don't mind elaborating, what other select M12 tools would you say make your top handful of considerations for its efficacy-per-size/form-factor?
The soda blasting parts music gave me Men at Work Down Under vibes. Awesome video.
Thank you Sarah!
Sarah, for the first 11.5 years of my career in commercial aviation, I was an Aviation Maintenance Technician; your FOM comment made me laugh! 😉
You need to use the Harbor Freight Abrasive Blasting Hood 62378, 38138 Your hair and eyes will appreciate it. I haven't used it, but when I home built a blasting cabinet I used tear off sheets to pretect the plexiglss window. You could use some type of tear off covers to keep the face shield alive on this too I would guess. Make sure you pull a sweatshirt or long shirt over the apron of the hood. Stuff can still sneak up under if it isn't blocked off.
You have inspired me to rebuild my 1997 dodge Dakota. Incidentally my truck is the same color. Inline 4cyl. W/ 5spd.
That engine is rediculously clean.. and that music while blasting/end roll was soothing and nice too! Great work as always!
That’s insane how clean that engine is. I’m so amazed for the age.
Can’t wait to see you getting to drive it for the 1st time
I get paid $16/hr to rotory with 3/64” inch shank carbides and your type of sanding barrels. I also use wire of three types (3metal 3 shapes) and buffing fiber and cotton with compound for hi/stall torque converters. But the boss still wants me tossing 3 tons of scrap in an hour once every three months. I have this engine in my truck. Thank you for attention to detail. My co-workers care for measuring not finishing 🐸
I’m so inspired by your self-discipline. What an amazing and challenging career.
I worked over my OHV my explorer runs so nice I can't buy a new car. I feel bad I didn't clean up my lower intake now. Tensioners usually last forever. The lower end of this engine is pretty indestructible. I did replace my injectors. They were very rusty from upstate NY. I got remanufactured ones for $60 a set. I had an injector get a rust pinhole and cause a real mess. I also painted my valve covers, but I had to get new ones. Mine were fully rotted out. some bolts flanges gone. I also got a ford lower intake gasket.
Around 13:50 the front left edge of gasket overhangs the water passage A-LOT. Worried it makes enough contact to seal.
🧐🤔
I am truly glad that your Ranger has a 'Little Tree' hanging off the rear vision mirror. That is a critical accessory;-))
Definitely recommend a blasting hood and some coveralls. I know its AZ so maybe no blasting in the summer? 😄
Hey Sarah, that’s awesome the Engine is as clean on the inside as you did the outside. I’ve never seen a V6 or a V8 that clean. A in line 4,6 yes but not a V hurry up and close that thing back up before all the magic gets out!🙂🐧🐧🐧👍🏻
Thank you! Enjoying following the progress. I called my Gram "Gram" too; my brothers always called her Grammy :)
Thanks for the laugh Sarah. You made me think of the following:
