that thing sounds amazing. havent caught many of your post but im gonna keep a look out for em if they are like this lol.

 

sick truck man good work!

 

Thanks guys, I was certainly glad to have her back together, lol.

 

very interesting

 

Jay, like we discussed over the phone I used the rope to keep the cam chain tight against the gear in the main timing chain. I pulled one head at a time and IMHO it was better than removing the timing chain cover, pulling the chains and then having to reset timing. The only drawback, I wouldn't use this technique to pull both heads at once, lol.

 

lmao, yeah that would be hard to do both heads at once

 

Well hopefully this technique will help someone if they need to simply replace head gaskets, etc.

 

sounds like a jet hhaha im jel

 

:049: lol, thanks brother.

 

'03 4.7 Suspected Blown Head Gasket

Hey guys, must say this is the most honest, truthful information I've found regarding Head gaskets. For the Love of GOD will someone please direct me to photos of replacing the head gaskets for my 03 4.7.

 

WELCOME to the Site!!!

 

Thanks for all of the pics and the great time saving idea!

Did you go with the normal procedure of rotating to TDC1 and then compress the valves, and then remove the cam and all of that stuff? I've got everything stripped down and am at about that part. Just need a little advice.

Also, how'd you remove the cam gear from the cam?

Thanks

 

hey buddy awesome build man how much hp are you pushing .and also iam thinking or rebuilding the top end of my 4.7 .so my question is you changed your head gaskets .did you do anything to the bottom end of the motor or just add on .and how do you think it would hold up if i just rebuild the top of mine thanks any info would be great .
