This is my third and final video on the tear down of the Ford Duratec 2.0L HE Ti-VCT Engine. In this video I get into the bottom end of the engine. The oil pan is removed. The oil pump and oil pump pick up is also removed while explaining the purpose of the oil pump and going over a few interesting facts concerning the oil pump and oil pick up. I also remove the flex plate or flywheel then removing the rear main seal and explaining a few details of the rear main seal. After that the tear down process stops as the crankshaft is locked up due to rust build up in the cylinders. I do, however, go over a few brief points concerning the crankshaft and the remaining components inside the crank case.

In this video I go over the cylinder ID, firing order and ignition wire routing on a GM 4.3L V-6. The cylinder ID starting from the front of the engine going back on the driver side is 1,3 and 5. On the passenger side starting from the front going back it is 2,4 and 6. the firing order is 1,6,5,4,3 and 2. As mentioned in the video the wire routing is simple. The distributor cap of the distributor is numbered at the base of each ignition wire connector. These numbers correspond to the particular cylinder that each ignition wire connector fires. So naturally one end of each ignition wire goes to the ignition coil connectors on the ignition cap. The other end of each ignition cable goes the spark plug of the respective cylinder that is indicated on the ignition cap. Note: The GM Vortec 4.3L V-6 has been used on many GM vehicles. The information found in this video should apply in part or in whole to most of these engines. As mentioned in the video there may be some variations in this information from year to year and from model to model. Please do your own research to ensure the information found in this video is applicable to the vehicle you are working on.

In this video I share a few tips that may help you in the installation of a rear main crankshaft seal on a Ford Duratch 2.0L He Ti-VCT engine. The first tip is to use the special tool to install the rear main crankshaft seal. It is difficult to get this seal in place without it. Second tip is to place the seal on the special tool so that the lip of the seal protrudes inward toward the engine when the seal is slid into place. It is a common thought that the lip of the seal is supposed to protrude outward away from the engine. This is not correct and the seal is likely to leak if installed incorrectly. Third tip is to replace the flex plate bolts with new bolts that have sealant on them. The bolt holes that go through the back of the crankshaft actually go all the way through and oil could potentially leak from the bolts if they are not replaced with the proper bolts. Note: Placing a small amount on the special tool where the seal sits on the tool before placing the seal on the special tool. This helps the seal go on a bit easier. Note: Important information on how to properly and safely lift and support your vehicle was not gone over in this video. Note: As mentioned in this video this is not a complete "how to" video explaining every detail of the process of removing and installing the rear main seal. There are many things that you need to know before replacing this component. The transmission will have to come out in order to replace this component. Please refer to a reputable repair manual for instruction on how to properly and safely replace the rear main seal.

In this video a share a great example of what it may sound like when brakes are "metal to metal". The audio was taken from my 05 Scion TC. I also, explain what happened to cause my brakes to go "metal to metal" and then I go over a few reasons that it is so very important not to ignore it when you suspect your brakes may have gone "metal to metal". Ideally you don't want to be in this position at all. Typically having your brakes checked out regularly and replacing your pads as needed will prevent you from getting into this situation in the first place. Note: This is an informational video, not a "how to" video. I'm simply sharing my knowledge. The video I very generic in nature.

In this video I go over the process of replacing the VCT solenoids on the Ford 2.0 Duratec HE engine. The process is very simple once the valve cover is removed. Simply unbolt either of the solenoids and remove the solenoid. Installation is reverse process. The Ford Duratec 2.0 Ti-VCT HE engine has been used by Ford on many of their models. The 2012-2018 Ford Focus being just one of them. This information will apply to a wide range of vehicles equipped with this particular engine. (There may be some differences between the models so please do verify videos application to whatever you are working on.)

In this video I go over the process of replacing the valve cover gasket on a Toyota 2.4L 2AZ-FE engine. The particular vehicle featured in the video is a 2005 Scion TC. However, the 2.4L 2AZ-FE engine has been used by Toyota for many years on several of their models. So, much of the information, if not all, should apply to most vehicles equipped with the 2AZ-FE engine. (As always, please do your own research and verify.) Here is a wikipedia article on the 2AZ-FE engine: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_AZ_engine Here is a link to the video showing how to replace the ignition coil connectors: https://youtu.be/x-3FqaET-E4 Note: Toque specifications noted in video where found with a quick google search. It is advised to obtain a reputable repair manual to verify this videos proper application. Note: Use care when using a razor blade to clean the mating surface on the cylinder head. Do not gouge or mare the metal surface as this could lead to oil leaks. This also applies to removing the RTV from the front of the cylinder head and the timing cover where the timing cover mates to the cylinder head. Also, as noted in text at the 4:00 mark, use care not to allow threads that may break away from the Brillo pad from entering the engine. This care should also be used when cleaning the valve cover. Threads could fall onto the valve cover and if they are not removed could enter the engine possibly causing engine damage.

In this video I explain how to replace an ignition coil connector on a Toyota 2AZ-FE engine. Ignition coil connectors on these engines tend to break when disconnected from the ignition coil. It's a common issue. The fix is to replace the connector. These connectors are readily available from rockauto.com. The process I use to replace them is to de-pin the new connector. Then de-pin the old connector one pin at a time. Each pin from the old connector is inserted into the new connector one at a time and in the correct order. Once the old pins are installed into the new connector then the connector can be reconnected to the coil.

In this video I go over one of the most common causes of codes P0011, P0012, P0021 and P0022 on a 2018 and newer Ford F-150 5.0L and that is a faulty intake VCT solenoid. I'll describe some symptoms that may or may not be present when the intake VCT solenoid fails in this manner. I also explain, in simplified terms, how the VCT solenoid works. Finally I explain my theory as to why these solenoids fail in this manner. Note: A VCT solenoid becoming "sticky" as described in the video, is only one way that this VCT solenoid can fail and cause the codes mentioned in the video. There are other ways in which this solenoid can fail and cause the codes mentioned as well. This video is only an informational video explaining one particular fault that may be seen with the solenoid. This video explains a "diagnostic path" that I use to figure this particular issue out. I do not make or imply any guarantees as to the accuracy of this diagnostic path. As mentioned in the video, please refer to a reputable repair manual for diagnostic information. There is a "special service message" (SSM) concerning this issue. SSM 49583. You can view this message here: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2021/MC-10187998-0001.pdf Note: As mentioned in the above SSM, the SSM pertains to the 2019-2020 model year F-150 5.0. However, based on my experience and research it is possible for this situation to be present not only on the 2018 F-150 but also on the later model year F-150s as well. (I have not yet performed this repair on a later model year.) I can see that the same part number for the intake VCT solenoid is used on these model years as well. However, on the later model years if the F-150 is equipped with 2 generators the intake VCT unit design may vary. The part number for the solenoid shown in this video is BR3Z-6M280-E. If you go to rockauto.com you can see that this same part is used on the 2018 and model years later than 2020 equipped with the 5.0L. I am assuming that because the same part is used that these other model years can be affected as well. (to my knowledge this info is accurate as of 7/16/2023. Always do your own research.)

In this video I go over, what I have found to be, a pretty common occurrence on the 2017-2018 Ford F-150. This somewhat of a common occurrence is a crack in the driver side valve cover toward the front close to the intake manifold. It seems that this is a weak spot on the intake manifold. This crack does not seem to be occurring because of rough handling. As mentioned in the video, I had two separate F-150s with this issue that have never been worked on. In this video I also describe a "temporary fix" for this issue. Warning! I make not guarantee that if you perform the "temporary fix" described in this video that it will not leak oil. If you choose to perform a similar repair do so at your own risk. Oil leaks can be a fire hazard. The temporary fixed shown in the video is just that, a temporary fix. The intention is to replace the valve cover just as soon as it comes off of back order through Ford. As noted, other sources may have this valve cover available.

In this video I have a great example of what may happen if the valve timing is set incorrectly on an interference engine. Bad things happen, bad things. The example in the video shows how the valves were actually broken off. A hole was even punched into the top of one of the pistons. The results of incorrectly setting the valve timing during a timing belt or timing chain installation can be catastrophic. Let this video serve as a warning. Be extremely careful when removing and installing timing belts and chains. Note: Not every time a timing belt or chain is installed incorrectly will it lead to engine damage. Each case is different.

In this video I share some audio and visual of a turbo that is making a knocking noise. The particular part on the turbo that was making the noise is the vacuum controlled waste gate actuator. The actuator had a busted diaphragm and whenever vacuum was applied to it the actuator it would start to move but immediately would slap back to it's starting position as it could not hold vacuum. The vehicle in the video is 2017 Ford Escape with a 1.5L. However the Ford Escape is not the only vehicle out there that has a turbo equipped with a vacuum controlled waste gate. This information can potentially apply to many vehicles that have a turbo with a vacuum controlled waste gate actuator. (Always refer to your repair manual for information concerning "theory and operation " of any component on your vehicle. There could be differences. ) Note: in some cases a failure of the waste gate actuator diaphragm could be caused by the failure of another component, like a leaking vacuum pump. It is possible that vacuum pumps could leak oil into the diaphragm through the vacuum supply tube. Just FYI. Be sure your repair all root causes or repeat failure could occur. Also, some waste gate actuators are serviceable separately from the turbo. That wasn't the case for the vehicle featured in the video.

In this video I go over the process of replacing the shift tube bushings on an 04 Ford Ranger. While the vehicle featured in the video is an 04 Ranger this process may be the same for the ranger for several model year Rangers. (Alway verify using a repair manual.) This procedure may also be similar for other models of Ford vehicles equipped with this style shift tube. Note: Be sure the vehicle is not running and that the parking brake is applied. It is recommended to disconnect the negative battery cable from the battery and to isolate it from the battery. It is best do shift the vehicle into neutral before beginning. Note: In order to properly torque down fasteners the use of a torque wrench is required. The use of torque wrench was not shown in video. Torque specifications not provided in video. Warning! Do not let the steering column dangle down too far as this could potentially put stress on the shift indicator cable and cause damage.
