If you take a small wood block and stick in the back side then you can take a screw driver and pry between the block of wood and the roller and pop it on. Did mine all sixteen in about twenty five minutes. But you do have a good point and thanks for the video. I just could not afford the tool.
Thank you for the info it’s truly saving me Im having the same issues but one of mines is a 3v 05 gt is the tool different for my year when I looked online it said till 2004 is there another route to obtain the tool outside of making one ??
You're the man! I recently broke a valve spring and was dreading pulling the cam. I'm going to tackle it this weekend thanks for the awesome tip. Youve gained a new follower.
You mentioned in the video needing 2 cam holding tools when setting the timing. and that is because the spring pressure exerted on the cam timing gears wants to keep the gears moving and never staying still. You can avoid not buying the cam holding tools simply by not installing the rocker arms until after the timing gears and chains are set .. without the pressure of the springs exerted onto the cam via the rocker arms all of the valves are closed during timing procedure and after verification timing is set simply install all the rocker arms .. extra effort sure but less money spent on tools you will possibly only ever use 1 time.
Top dead center on his engine the keyway on the crank is at 11:00, if you move the key way to 12:00 all of the Pistons are below the head deck therefore you do not have to worry about bending a lifter against a piston when you put them in….
Hello, I found you while researching my engine . I was told the tapping noises I'm hearing is exactly what you're changing . My question, can you tell which one is causing the noise visually or some other way ? Sorry, I'm a carpenter lol . But I like to learn and fix what I can (with help from a back yard mechanic friend ) . 2003 f150 V8 4.6L 343,600 miles. No engine lights on . No overheating. Oil pressure good . I have noticed a slight loss of power on gradual inclines mostly at about 25-35mph ,assuming 2nd gear, roughly 1500-2000 rpm . Thanks for the video!
You put the screw driver in between the spring and pull it up to lock it in place with out scratching the cam lobe its harder on a mustang a 4.6 crown vic its easier
good video my brother ,,i got 2004 maruader 112,000 miles on it..eventually im gonna have do my engine it has that rattle sound only when u frist start it up for about few seconds then it goes away..maybe timming chain tensioner latting the chain slap to the oil fill them or hydraullio cylinder in the tensionerare alittle worn
Lol I do not endorse this but I’m gonna use the screwdriver method good video you explain stuff great watched as I did the cam and rocker arms on my 4.6

Definitely want the lifter at its lowest point works perfect everytime
I want that red pulley you got there nice
Can you replace the valve sales also without removing the cams
How hard is this repair ?
very instructive. glad i watched it. learned a lot.

Forgettaboutit
Great video. I have to change the valve seals on my 95 4.6L was worried I'd have to pull the cam to do them, and this video helps a lot.

you can't just lock the cam in place and swap heads from a donor motar, if you have a bent valve?
Dude that’s awesome
Can I buy one of these from you? I have the 4.6L 2v ford.
Amazing!!! This guy made himself his own tool! Unreal!!
