F150 5.0L Short Block Replacement Time Lapse

[makuloco2000]

I figured you F150 guys would like to see this time lapse I compiled on a recent 5.0L short block replacement on a 2012 F150. Man was it allot of work but when it was done it was as quiet as a mouse so it was all worth it! I enjoy doing trans and engine builds like this once in awhile, very satisfying when test driving afterwards and everything is back to new again for the customer.

what was the need of the short block? cyl distortion I think I've been reading?

Yes cyl bore distortion, I think it has something to do with the alloy mixture in the metal cylinder sleeves.
