How to Swap Mustang GT 4.6L V8 Cams & Valve Springs - Mullet Mustang - EP16 

It’s 1:02 am and I don’t even have a mustang....but I do want to install a cam on my non existent Mustang after watching this

Replace lash adjusters and rockers as well at this point 👌

Aaaaawwww yuss. I haven't been this excited for an upgrade video since the ITBs for the S2000!

17:38 this is how I imagined my mustang sounding after I try to attempt this myself in my garage😂

Fist bump fail lmao

All you have to do is remove the intake rocker that has pressure on it. The cam will not move when removing the phaser...

If you set the crank at about 12-14 deg from top dead center, you hit a spot in the cam where no valves are under spring pressure (or are all under equal pressure, and when you release the cam pulleys, they wont spin on you, and you don't lose alignment with the crank. Little tips from hard lessons learned.

The content on this channel is top notch. Hope these guys make it big.

Consistent quality content. Best channel on RU-vid :)

I did the valve seals on my 1JZ, one of the keeps popped off and fell into the head, i eventually somehow got it but about shit my panties

you guys deserve soooo much more subscribers and views !!! You have by far my favourite channel since I found it. The best stuff combined with the best humour ;) I love it.

HOW ARE YOU NOT GUNNA INCLUDE AN EXHAUST CLIP

The mustang I bought was a half finished project, I put 5.4 cams from a 3 valve truck, and I havent had problems so far. If u want a more mean sound, do it. I didnt have a choice, cause I was on a budget, and I could not find any 4.6 3 valves in the junkyard

Good job guys!! Changed my springs, cams and timing chains on my 2007 GT and it was a badass experience

man i had to come back and watch this again, I miss this intro! should bring it back for the nostalgia one time

I would absolutely love to see you guys work on a 2000 Lincoln Town Car, make a super cool sleeper build, since it's a Ford Modular V8 it shares many performance parts with the older Mustang V8. Cams,headers,turbo or blower and big meaty tires

the more I watch work done on the top of those modular motors the more I like the old pushrod motors. For grip on the cam body when lining up the phaser sprocket try a small piece of leather or Naugahyde in the jaws of the pliers.

I use pearl necklace drop it down the spark plug hole till I got almost a whole necklace in there.. . and then I slowly roll the piston upward till it pushes on my pearls and my pearls hold my valves in while I make spring seal changes... and it works on all engines..use it on lawn mowers to.....

Ims ure yall figured out by now, you are supposed to prime the oil pump. Otherwise you just ran those bran new cams and lifters dry on first startup.

Only speed academy can get me excited for mustang upgrades keep it coming

Ive seen curved jaw vice grips used also. It's cringe but has to be done sometimes. Just got some ford performance cams and long tube headers for my 09 S197. Can't wait to do this job. Thanks for this video.

Where did you guys get your compressor fitting for the plug hole?

Hi, I'd like to ask, in the video, that I saw that, you've replaced all the Rocker armrs and lift Adjuster and changing the cams! At the same time. How was it possible ? Please explain me. In advance Thanks you so much . Francesco

Another great detailed video guys. I'm sure this will help many people!

Holt shit 6 years ago! Lol And now I have 4.6 2v. Wrong engine for me, but still worth a watch.

Absolutely love this channel you guys deserve way more subscribers

I have a 05 f150 with the same engine I'm looking to do a cam swap, with this greatly detailed video I feel that I could do it myself 👍🏻

i don't have any cars that these guys have but i still watch all the videos as if im about to do the same upgrade lol

You guys are great! I feel that I can do my own cam install. Thanks for the encouragement!

Enjoying the Mullet Mustang series. Would love to see the same kind of videos, you buy a car and work on it to make it better for track, not just drag. Would love to see you compare the same era cars like 2005 G35 which was a competitor to this.

Damn there's that Tim Horton again lol ... I must come to canada to try out this mans stuff. I thought it was just coffee because my good friend Jeff Thorman Brings his Tim Hortons. Now you said FOOD so I MUST MUST try him out now.

For 35 hp? I understand wanting the sound but holy fuck u can spend 600 on a nitrous kit and make 3x the power

God that first start up scared the living shit out of me! I don't even like mustangs but damn did that sound BAD! Good thing it was only the lifters though.

When will you guys have an update on this build! Exactly the mods I want to do with my 3v. Looking forward to more great content.

You guys deserve more subs . This is honestly one of the best car channel on youtube right now

Wow great video! I'm gonna subscribe. So why do you think they want you to remove the roller followers before the cam if you cam do it your way and just take them off after the cam is up and out?

Question(s) for you - I gather you used the compressed air because you cant crank the engine (manually) to get the valves up , yes? Does the air hold them all up or did you move the air line? Second - have you seen the Lisle 36200 Valve Keeper Remover and Installer tool ? Wonder if it works on a mustang...watched on a Honda and it was awesome....put this in the youtube search box "replace valve stem seals - with cylinder head on" and tell me what you think...would save folks ALOT of time

I'd gladly be poster boy for the 'sometimes you have to go bareback' merchandise

Not bringing the engine to TDC will not reveal how worn the chain and sprockets are. When I replaced the all the timing hardware I found I had to move the driver side cam about 5* to bring it back to TDC when all the new parts were installed . This out of time cam shows up when comparing O2 sensor readings. Everything else was a 100% on my 4.6 and ran fine but the O2 sensor reading were out of whack (comparing cyl banks). Couldn't find an explanation swapping sensors of course confirmed it was not sensors. It was after changing all the timing hardware due to a bad tensioner and I happened to look at the O2 sensor data afterward that I discovered that the readings were now normal.

Is the compressed air into the engine to keep the valve from dropping into the cylinder?

Nice video. However, aren't you supposed to run the engine at a constant 3000 rpm for thirty minutes for break in?

WHY DO I KEEP LISTENING THAT SONG WHILE IM LOOKING AT THIS......time to do some sketchi sh..t doo daa doo daa, GOD LOOOOORD HELP ME WITH THIS 2.........................

I have said this before we going to see some burnouts?? RWD is made for. Thanks for the videos.

What did you do to prime the engine?

THE ONLY SURGERY IM INTERESTED IN 😊😂

did this on mine but used ford hotrod cams, easy to work on love my 3v 4.6

you Canadians sure love some Tim Horton's

A dab of The Right Stuff? I've never heard of that strain, Right Stuff.

"Just use spray you pansies." -Dove 2017

Thinking about cramming my crown Vic

Guessing these are the 127300s? No lockouts/limiters to the phasers to do the 127500s? :( hope it makes some power regardless

How long does it take to do this job?

Are you not supposed to lockout the phasers on those cans I have Cam cams first stage and I had the lockout the phasers and it made 350 rear wheel horsepower along with the motion plates delete system

18:20 That big fail though

It'll be interesting to see what numbers Sasha pulls out of it now.

The one downfall of a cams swap on a 3 valve is that the stock bottom end will probably fail , catastrophically , if used frequently at R.P.M.s approaching 6400 .

You guys do great work/knowledge with a great attitude 👍🏻👏🏻 I subscribed!

I usually just take my phone and take lots of pictures if im doing a job where i have to remember where and how alot of parts go,, i still use a box very similar to theres...

Hey guys, how did you prime the engine to lubricate the lifters?

hello i was wanting to know where did you get your blue hound valve spring compression tool im need one.

How does Doug DeMuro have more subs than this channel?!

Дорогие коллеги подскажите что за смазку вы используете при установке масло снимающего колпачка (красную) ! спасибо

Definitely just made my life easier.

I have a question my son's 05 was making some valve spring noise and his car died and won't even turn over is there some kind of sensor stopping it from turning over or did it drop a valve and seize maybe?

how much pressure are you using on the cylinder?

Where can I get my 2003 gt 4.6 cam job done, near Columbus Ohio

I know the car Pete's Evo is pretty much complete but i hope some stuff is possible for some content lapping or just random updates. There is only so many times I can watch the videos of it!

Great job, a little "back yard" but you got it done. A better sound clip , warmed up, and from the rear would have been nice. Sounded a bit "lopey", but hard to tell with the brief moment you had it running.

where did you buy the spark plug air hose i cant find one? the ones i am finding are 14 and 18mm i was told the 3v is 16mm help me out if you can thanks

Early SA days. Do some more v8 stuff occasionally

Great video! At 18:21, I can so relate. :-)

stage 3 or 4 gives you that big lope you were mentioning

Any break in procedure for post install? I've seen comp cam that needed a 15min run in at 2500rpm to properly set and harden the wear surfaces on the cam lobes.

I know this is a few years old at this point, but how much psi of air would you guys recommend using in the spark plug socket to keep the valves up? Thank you!

does the special tool also stop the tensioner from drawing up the chain bc im surprised it didnt get way too tight

Do you think it's worth upgrading a cam for a grand marquis? My only upgrade now is that aluminum intake cover when my plastic one cracked. I plan on switching to dual exhausts but was wondering if I should do a cam swap first? Thanks

Do you guys have a video with all the new mods including the cam at the drag strip?

Digging this series. Well done.

I wonder if this can be done on my 02 Explorer 4.6 2v?

That 👊to✋

Does the camshaft have to be flushed with the heads when torquing the caps down?

What a let down no bumpty bump

How can you not love wedges from Tim's? You sure you two are canadians?

Make that Mustang fast - drop a LS in !!

Was there a break in period that you had to do that you did not show us? I only ask because there was one for the cams I put in my MR2.

What tool did you use to screw into the spark plug hole to hold the valves closed?

Always enjoy your guys content

That isn't nearly as bad as I expected.

How Did you guys prim the engine??i can’t find out anywhere

Where is a good place to get a good deal for valve train upgrades for camd

That sound on first start was scary!!

How much pressure are you putting into the cylinder? Looking to do this

So you guys work full time for NV now, right? ;) I bet it's really a nice benefit to be able to work in the heated shop, and have a lift too! Great video as always, guys.

Nice Valvoline sticker

Had did you get those lifters to quiet down?

Helps when you hold your channel locks the right way....

Was there a need to limit the phazer

I love the his Chanel great stuff

Why not stage 3? They are more agresive

I wanted to do this on my crown vic police interceptor how will it affect my computer ?
