Overall a good video! I would suggest using Ford Motorcraft parts only the 1st time or it can get expensive quickly by doing the same job over and over much sooner. You also wanna clean the surfaces really well at the engine and at the cooler locations before putting new o-rings on adding some oil on the new o-rings is key putting something together dry is a bad idea and will result in it failing. Remember Clean, Lube, Assemble correctly using the proper parts will result in years of reliability.

Man he made that look easy right. I have more time than that just looking and thinking about doing it. I have the back bolts out and let it drip over night into my container. I actually just went and bought a 1200 dollar show blower cause we are supposed to get over a foot of snow. I probably could have spent the time working on truck instead. But was unsure of getting it done. The front bolts look very hard to get to. Can I use a permatex to hold front gasket on while putting back on. ? Thanks you really made it look easy

One machine shop wants an insane hourly rate to “try” and work on it, another told me they don’t do dry sleeve blocks but if I bought a flathead V8 rebuild kit they could try and direct fit pistons with no liners and see if it worked. An expensive gamble either way, exploding other options now.

The oil to coolant heat exchanger does double duty in winter- where the block heater heats the cooland AND the oil for easier starting-- this engine uses engine oil under high pressure to push the fuel in the injector-- and really cold oil doesn't flow right...
