I never realized how simple this timing system actually is. Thank you for this information. I can do mine with confidence now.

I am from Saudi Arabia. I own a 2010 Grand Marquis. After watching your video, I did the timing system maintenance myself. Thank you for this valuable information. 👍

[JohnnyCab]

now that's what i call a detailed video taking everything apart then all back together, excellent job explaining so simplified for us diy people

[billdyer]

I sort of remembered doing this on my Town Car and my F250 in 2014.
I now have an older F150 that needs to be worked on.
I thoroughly enjoyed your video with your detailed explanations as well as tools you had/used to make the project easier.
You're well spoken, easy to understand, and no annoying music to get in the way.
This was, by far, the best video for anyone to watch who plans to undertake this repair. It was very educational.

I love Danny Johnson’s videos man so informative any back yard mechanics can do it I fully rebuilt my 01 mustang gt form engine to gas tank because of this guys tutorials thank you so much your videos are greatly appreciated!

I'm in the process of doing this job on my 02 Explorer. First major job I've done to it in the 185k miles I've had it. A good tip of advice for anyone doing this job on this engine, don't worry about breaking plastic clips and stuff, as it is impossible to disassemble the thing without breaking at least half of them. Only things you really have to worry about is the plastic intake manifold and plastic valve covers.

As someone who was a beginner mechanic watching youtube videos years ago, I thank you for not relying heavily on impact drivers & such. Many videos used to just impacts, and skip on valuable learning moments like leaving a car in gear to break free stubborn crank bolts & leaving the belt on to break free pulley fasteners. Good man.
You showed how a low-budget newbie might handle it with common hand tools, and that is super respectable.

Ps., if it is an automatic, leaving it in park is fine 👌

I've been putting off doing this job, but now that this perfectly detailed and clear video is here, I'm ordering parts and will do it as soon as they arrive. Thanks man.

[jimsauber]

Best walkthrough of this process I have found. I have a 4.6l Explorer, but the process is roughly the same. Thank you very much!!

[Nitrocide]

Awesome video, thank you! I do everything myself on my vehicles, but this one had me on the fence. Not as hard as I imagined it to be!

[manunava]

Another great video, thanks!! I'll be retiring in twenty months, at which time, I plan on starting to rehab my 2001 Bullitt that I bought new in Sept. 2001. I'm now watching these types of vids to see what I'll be getting myself into. I've got a little over 135, 000 miles on her, so this is one of the first jobs I want to do along with a new oil pump and water pump at the same time for peace of mind and continuous reliability. Keep the SN95 vids coming!!

[al-mubdizahir]

I have a 05 Ford crown Victoria. 4.6. I think i have a timing chain issue so im gonna have to go in there and take a look. Watching this video really helps. Thanks

[mustangnotch]

Found your channel about a week ago and I've watched just about every video on the 2v. Picked up another subscriber. Thanks for the great video on how to do this job without going insane. Will attempt this job soon.

[Ryve]

Best “how to video” I ever watched thanks bro

[TheLegalMan]

I recommend washing and cleaning the complete engine bay and all engine parts prior to doing any work, use compressed air to dry off, let the engine sit for a few days so any standing water will evaporate. Try to keep the alternator free from water. Also agitate any oil deposits and debris then clean again. Goal is to have a clean engine bay before working so that any dust, dirt, etc does not get into the engine or oil pan! Over do the engine cleaning but do not use tons of water. The goal is clean before you work on it!

[IzzyRob]

Wow, this is really detailed. I have a timing cover leak, but I think I'll go ahead and attempt to replace the timing components as well. Thank you for posting.

[cars]

Schwinn needs to make those chains like they used to make them in the 50s and 60s. Love those guides made out of cheap plastic. I used to think timing belts were junk, but look at all of the vehicles now with chains that need to be replaced and all of the labor it takes. Those chains look like they belong on a Schwinn BIKE !

[Chase_west]

I don't even own a 4.6 but it was a great saturday evening watch, now I will look for cheap gts on marketplace needing this job done. haha

[JonTheGeek]

Classic Ford making timing really easy.
Thanks for the video! Mid teardown and had some questions and this seems to answer all of them.

[tylerross]

This is an amazingly detailed and helpful walk-through video, thank you! Seems like this job is a bit too complex for me, but at least I knew before I started 😅
