Hi Guys, the dreaded cam phaser did enough damage to warrant a replacement engine. But My neighbor purchased the wrong engine. Im trying to help him out here. can you help us ID where this engine came out of.

 

That part number is used on all Tritons. It's the rear main seal cover.

 

Looks like a car or van engine.

 

What makes you think its the wrong engine? That might help.

Different intake perhaps?

 

Deffinently a 2006 5.4L 3 valve engine, hope that helps

 

wouldn't the 3v have actuators on top of the valve covers for the phasers?

I think its a 2008+ 4.6 2v they didnt use plastic intake until 08 on the 4.6


ETA the oil filter is in the 5.4 location.....

 

Just by looking at the front you can see its a 3 valve 5.4l, same plastic intake and throttle body, plus the oil filler neck is the same as a 5.4l 3 valve, definently not a 4.6 L

 

To the right of the oil filler neck you can actually see the actuator on top of the valve cover and wires coming out of it

 

Also, -the two valves have plastic cam covers, -3V's are aluminum.

 

yea he is taking it back, got it off of Craigslist. He has a 2008 f250 superduty. This isnt it.


I will check the f/s section on a motor. Thanks guys.

 

So what's the problem? Then he doesn't have a 3 valve 5.4L under the hood ? What's he got in there, a V10 ? A 6.4 ?

 

no he has the 5.4v in a 2008 f250 super duty. Its different than this one. the oil filter location isnt in the right location.

Anyone know what type of truck/van it came out of?

 

I'm pretty sure you were just told it is a 3v 5.4L which is what he has in his 08 f250 (assuming you are correct that he has a 5.4L)

That would make them interchangeable... with the possibility of swapping a few accessory parts.

 

mine are stamped steel, but they are black, much different than the aluminum ones

 

We're sure he has the 5.4l. What were stuck on is the oil filter isn't at the same place so it wouldnt be a direct swap.
