    Engine knocking, only at idle

    Sounds like your timing chains slapping off the front timing cover. If you hold your foot on the brake and give it a Rev it gets a bit better. I'd say your due for a timing job like yesterday

    Looking to help my 80 year old dad LOL!

    +1 on the dualers they last a long time the Firestone well unless your making rubber bumpers for a go cart track I'd stay away from them if your going bfg I'd say the all terrains but bfg quality seems to have slipped alot in the last few years. Duratecs seem to have nice lugs which leads me to...

    Multiple misfires even after replacing a few things

    The water trick won't work they're coils on each cylinder. There is a chance I guess that it could be cracked allowing moisture in. I have personally seen multiple bad coils right out of the box though.

    A warning…

    I run a melling hv340 going on two years now and she's still good to go. That said I've heard my share of horror stories about the factory parts failing.

    Engine oil

    Mine uses more near an oil change. I run pennzoil ultra platinum 5w30 in the summer 5w20 in winter and always the ford oil filter.

    Multiple misfires even after replacing a few things

    I'd say it's in the harness broken wire maybe or bad plug. And i would pull those champion plugs as fast as they went in and run a Motorcraft plug. Champions are ok if your using them in a Briggs and Stratton and even that is questionable

    problem with roller follower removal

    Yep that's how I would do it. Saves a bit of dicking around. What oil pump did you go with? That 8mm bolt in the oil tube can be a load of fun

    problem with roller follower removal

    For the small cost of doing all the followers at the same time would be small in comparison to what It cost in the future. Everyone has their own experiences so of course you hear alot of different advice. Take the one that most relates to the job your doing and move on. And no removing the cams...

    crankshaft front seal - socket to tap in?

    A seal driver would've worked good to.

    problem with roller follower removal

    Ya you gotta pull the cams anyhow if your doing phasers so you can just take it right out now. But to answer the questions a couple of them are tricky so whatever way you can fit the tool in then go for it. When your releasing the tool you don't need to touch the valve only when your tightening it.

    Gas prices being what they are here in ontario big suvs are losing their appeal. Up here that truck is maybe 2k on a good day

    fan shroud removal...

    2010 and up is def a bit easier they cleaned up the excessive amount of wiring everywhere and the electric fan made the job way smoother. Start to finish took me about 2 or 3 days I'd say that's with changing the oil pump pickup tube bolt was a nightmare

    Front brake specs 2007 Expedition

    As tight as u can get em. Think there like an 18mm bolt so they're gonna take it. If in doubt go with your Haynes manual

    Intermittent rough idle

    I'd buy some vct solenoid gaskets as well if they didnt come with them and I'd doubt $1800 was for a complete timing job since the parts alone are a couple thousand. I got some quotes for the complete job just for fun and it ranged from $3500 to $5000 and not alot of shops wanted the job. Did it...

    Rocker panel repair

    Little crispy for sure. Unless your a skilled body man it's not a simple job for sure. I have an f150 that had all that replaced and even a good eye can hardly see it but I've seen some that are just awful. Get what u pay for I guess

    3/2 ready lift

    Ya couldn't agree more it's exactly like you just said it. I did have the 12.5 wide tires but that didn't change much except spins more shit up the side of the truck. If you had sag and wanted it leveled out then spacers aside from that I do not recommend them. And for the price of them it's a...

    3/2 ready lift

    Not sure why you wouldn't add them to go offroading as well as appearance in the end they accomplish one of the important parts of offroading and thats to get that body higher from the ground. And also allow clearance for a bigger tire. When wanting to offroad without going nuts with the cost of...

    A warning…

    I went with the melling 340hv and all factory parts going on 2 years now and the truck is mint. The oil pump was probably the single biggest issue with the 3v timing system. Few things i would change on them but overall when taken care of those motors can last a long time

    Check engine light on car will not start

    That's a pretty wide spectrum of problems that it could be but almost guaranteed the window isn't related. That's just a regulator that needs replaced. Without a bit of troubleshooting or more info it could be 20 different issues
