5.4L 3v Camshaft Phaser Knock Noise Fix
In this video I go over in detail the procedure to swap out the Cam Phaser to get rid of that annoying knocking noise at idle! It is easier than you think. The procedure is the same for all 4.6l and 5.4l 3valve engines.

Great work! I did not realize the pins or rivets holding the center section of the phaser were prone to coming loose.
I also checked out some of your other videos.. The video regarding the ecoboost and the excessive carbon buildup issue on the valves was a real surprise... The fact that ford is issuing a TSB for entire head replacement is astounding! Seems like a silent recall is being slipped into the works.. I bet a few spirited drive cycles would help stave off some of the carbon buildup, but it does seem like it could be a flaw in the direct injection setup as a whole.. I'm glad I skipped out on the ecoboost fad. IMHO ford should have just gone with a smaller turbo diesel setup, and gone with a turbo or blown option with the 5.0 from the factory..
If it wasn't for a fistful of 3 and 4 letter agency's, and our corporatocracy government run predominantly by a bunch of central bankers and planners, I'm positive in the fact that engineering and product development would be in a completely different realm right now... Diesel in automobiles will continue to get snubbed until GM gets the new diesel Chevy cruize onto the market. I'm sure the rules will change eventually, again, to suit GM's needs....
Koenigsegg has developed a cam less free valve technology which basically achieves limitless tuning options.. I'm sure many have not heard of it yet, it is called free valve technology.. It's just a quick example of where technology is heading, but its unlikely to catch on anytime soon due to lack of focus in the most efficient areas.....
I would be floored if we had engines in development here in the states running on something similar... I'm sure it could eliminate the carbon issues the EB's are experiencing.

Thanks again, Mr. Makuloco!
Great info, as always!
IIRC, Early phasers also had roll pin failures - the newer ones use a stronger solid pin.
And this is why you don't use a Dorman replacement phaser, lol:
Cheers
