I Found A MAJOR Engine Issue After Fixing EVERYTHING On My SVT Lightning! Previous Owner Had To Know

1. Do you think the previous owner knew and is this Ford's fault or abuse?

2. Blown head gasket broke number two piston

3. Exact same thing happen to me buying lightning. Was raining and they didn’t want me to beat on it but claimed it was fully sound. Owned it for all of a day until getting on a highway was very obvious there was something up with head gasket. Supposably has arp studs already, still going to probably swap them to arp 2000s hoping it never happens again

4. Come on people it's the radiator cap.🤣🤣

5. It’s a ford😂, sorry if it’s too early

6. got the head gaskets right, pretty surprising, same thing happens to 3.6 chrysler 2006 is the head gasket

7. For sure he knew, what a c*nt.

8. I found your channel few days ago. I haven't stopped watching. You remind of Stacey David. I used to watching his show every Saturday and Sunday.. Bring back memories.

9. Radiator leak

10. Probably never tuned it with that pulley upgrade and it over boosted the engine. The problem i see with most people on these is they push that factory eaton well beyond its limits and if that motor is not built to handle that then stuff like this happens.

11. Hey Alex. I need to try the test where you said don’t do this at home cause I have a 2002 Dodge Ram 2500 with no heat but I changed everything but the rad. The shop thinks it’s the way the truck is but when I bought the truck the previous owner said he had the head gasket replaced but I’m wondering if it was done incorrectly or didn’t get the head checked. Thank you for explaining things in your videos so well and why you think things could be the way they are. Keep up the good work

12. @samcrac what is the best head gasket sealant

13. A mate of mine blew his RB30 on way home from fishing trip– leaking radiator hose -but temp sensor was out of the water and stayed reading normal and his motor went boom driving down highway at 150k/mh

14. ,any cracks in water bottles or hoses?

15. 8ve had nothing but he'll with cirds

16. That's why I never touch a Ford the older ones are goid

17. Hehe 5:09 that's what she said

18. I know this is an old video but I just went back and was watching the lightning videos, I had an 03 cobra a few years back that had the exact same symptoms. No smoke, full power, and the coolant didn’t even turn milky after flushing until I beat on it again. Turned out to be head gaskets also.

19. I thought that orange coolant meant blown head gaskets because oil was getting mixed in.

20. still would take this over any LS truck

21. I was wondering if it was your intercooler pump not working and it was your intercooler fluid spewing out but apparently not mine went bad and didn't know it and soon as the intercooler fluid will get hot it would spew it out the cap on the intercooler Reservoir. I replaced it with a Davies Craig high flow intercooler pump about a third again more flow than stock did and it made a huge difference. You probably know this but don't go too high of a flow because it won't give the intercooler a chance to do it's job and actually cool the fluid off

22. Hard to believe they still used a steering box in 2002

23. Camshaft

24. uk here we use k seal it’s great stuff but car u plan runnning better do job right new gaskets arp head studs and steal pressed gaskets 👍

25. It has a cracked block.
    That's me guess.
    🙂😀😃😄😁👋🤞✌️👌🤙👍☝️👏🙏

26. The 3 jugs of muriatic acid that you flushed the coolant system with is probably what ate into your head gasket ports.

27. Sorry to hear about the heads on your Ford, I had a similar problem with a Camaro I used to own. After doing a power flush I had to machine the heads…

28. buyer beware!

29. dont forget the temp sender unit has to have coolant against it to detect the temp,as soon as the coolant goes low it will normaly show the motor as cool,even tho its cooking hot!,its amazing how many folks dont concider that! fact!.

30. have you not an exahasts gas analyzer?,if so put the sample pipe in the space ontop of the coolant in the radiator and look for hydro carbons,works every time!

31. folks who design cars should be made to work on them,once had an alternator change on a nissan primera sports+r,was an engine and transmision out according to the dealers to remove the lower alternator bolt,fuck that,i cut a hole in the inner wing replaced the alternator and welded a plate over the hole and painted it,how mental is that!

32. another was a cosworth sierra but againe an english engine!

33. sorry about the negative comments but after a working life spent working on cars i have never seen a good american one,i lie i once drove a 65 original shelby cobra,that was a beast but only the engine was american!

34. your roads are all strait,why bother with steering,american cars never corner decently anyway with there horse and cart suspension!

35. looks a bit like trying to polish a turd!

36. ford = fix or repair daily!

37. They probably replaced the head with a different head they had a notorious arrest cylinder had issues when they would lift off

38. I have a built 403 stroker that was originally a TT setup before I went vortech Ysi. Anyway….the meth nozzle wasn't tightened and got sucked up into my block. Made a very small hairline crack in it and literally took it from a vicious lobe sounding cam to a non cammed z06 idle…along with just a little water coming out the exhaust….ran fine but damn.

39. Do anyone know if it's basement got flooded

40. Tu no tienes que poner Ford falla, si no mi vieja Ford falla seria lo correcto.

41. You can tell by the rust,and lack of changing worn parts the previous owner did bare minimum

42. The title says the problem fix or repair daily

43. blown head gasket

44. Bad head gasket

45. Before I continue watching I think the guh change the head gasket but after a curtain amount of miles your suppose to retighten the head bolts

46. simpler solution to see if pressure is getting into the coolant…… put a T into the hose from the radiator to the tank….. than put a mechanical pressure guage on it and run it up to the wiper blade and go for a drive. if you get into boost , pressure goes above the rated cap pressure…. guess what? lol

47. I know its 4 months ago but i really hope you left the previous owner alone…
