Ford 5.4 2V Timing Chain Replacement

In this highly detailed video, I’m tackling the timing chain replacement, along with the timing chain tensioners, timing chain guides, and crank sprocket in our Ford 5.4 liter 2 valve motor. This repair is essential to eliminate the dreaded timing chain tensioner failure and the accompanying startup noise for which this motor is famous. I’ll guide you step by step through the entire process; even providing torque specifications. A critical aspect I’ll cover is aligning your timing marks. Proper alignment is crucial to prevent engine damage and I’ll walk you through the process, ensuring you can confidently align those marks. I chose to use the kit from Melling. The kit’s part number is 3-391S, and it contains all the necessary components to ensure a smooth and successful repair.
