Good deal than.

 

Engine Removal Day 4. Today took longer then I had expected. I though I was going to just pull of the bed plate. The bed plate gasket is tied into the engine back cover which is connect to the HPOP cover which all had to come off. The engine was already on the engine stand so I was juggling the engine from engine stand to engine hoist to get off the flywheel, backcover, bed plate and HPOP cover. Taking a few days off, cleaning parts, heads to the machine shop, need to order gaskets for the whole engine, did not realize I was going to be tearing the engine down to this point. I will continue with more pics when I get everything ready to start putting it all back together.

food fo rthought here we are paid 16 hours to replace bed plate gaskets start to finish this includes remove and reinstall the engine.

 

I love it, kitchen/garage combo. Why the 08-10 fender vents? Best, CB

 

Cheez-it I salute you guys for the hard work you do! I figure I will have over fifty hours in this job.

Regarding the fender vents, I like the look, wish my 05 had them from the factory.

 

Those who do this every single day for a living should be able to do it blind folded with one arm and a leg tied behind their back.

 

Any updates? Really a great thread. Huge undertaking and without fear.

 

Is this still the best method for the bedplate installation ? Just want to be sure nothing has changed.Thanks....

 

yup still the same ta 29 on the ends and form a gasket where the worm gasket sits.

 

thankyou very much !!!Do I need to put to put the form gasket on the block as well.I really appreciate the help,getting ready to put it back together and this is the part that bothers me most,dont want any leaks..

 

yes on both sides of the sealing serface.

 

Is the Anaerobic Gasket Maker also a ford product ? Thanks,Robert

 

What happened to this thread?Did you give up/sell the truck or just never put the motor back in?

 

I was wondering the same thing. It was such a good write up, then he got abducted by aliens!

 

Poof he just vanished.
