4.6 Engine Sound

[hotdanman]

thanks it was a loose wire on the crank sensor. fixed it 11 mo ago

but thanks! the ex has it now and i miss it.

[fffffaaaaaaaarrttttt]

hhhmmm clean engine, sounds good to

[infinity3jif]

i wonder why do mostly all 4.6s makes that whining noise almost sounds as if it has a supercharger

[hotdanman]

where is the crankshaft sensor on that car ?

[kevykev38]

@hotdanman The crankshaft sensor is on the timing cover on the bottom left near the AC motor. Cam shaft sensor is on the cover as well. Right under the coils.

[IDIMAN1988]

Sound like my old VIC. well before the supercharger.

DARN drunk drives.

totaled my car in my garage.

[dmspit]

anyone know of some bolt on performance parts for the 4.6 engine?

[guitarist41991]

@dmspit its the same size motor thats in the 1996 and up mustangs so there are endless performance parts for these motors.

[ylism]

@guitarist41991 Endless piles of broken parts from those motors too.

[guitarist41991]

@dmspit its the same as a 1996 and up mustang motor so there are endless performance parts

[PIONEERaudioLOVER]

i got one of these in my expedition. great engine. small but has plenty of push.

[iCruzeTBird559]

I have a Ford 4.6L in my T-bird.

[powerstroker14]

What car is that in? My mom had a 4.6 Triton V8 in her 2001 Expedition. Is this a similar engine?

[maxwelljrdn]

same engine's, Ford just used the "Triton" name to help sell them better.

[naterade21]

grand marquis

[kansascitycomputers]

looks like a mid 90s town car

[supersnot4]

not only is it one of the best sounding engines ever made, but that little 4.6 has plenty of muscle to back it up.

[BRENTHENRY1989]

ah its like Music to my ears! thanks for mention! and nothing beats the sound of a Ford V8! i should make some videos of my truck before the exhaust is put on, and after, right now my 302w is crazy loud with only headers! lol lol i actually am concerned, as i have done start up videos before with my old camera, and the audio gets kinda distorted when revving, it might be actually damaging the cameras microphone! lol lol but again thanks for the mention Daniel, 5 *****

[chorstma44]

I dont care what anybody says. Nothing sounds better than a V8. I have a similar engine in my speedboat. next summer i should put my camera in the engine compartment and go for a run when the water is smooth. No fan or anything else in there, just pure, american, Muscle!

[K1ll3rM4st3r]

I love the sound of V8's but who doesnt?

[wiseguylt4]

My thoughts exactly!

[bassboy923]

how is that engine you re-built comeing???

[rubiccubes]

what make is that?

[FilthReaper]

A 4.6 is a Ford V8

[rubiccubes]

ohhh i must of forgot. cuz i am a huge ford fan

[Chevypickups1993]

might sound better if you place it underneath the oil pan that way it doesn't have all the fan and belt noise.

[DanielJaegerFilms]

Yeah, I thought of that, but I wanted the video to include the cooling fan. Next time I'm going to try placing the camera further from the fan.

[moni370]

what camera do you use?

[chevyblows2001]

@DanielJaegerFilms

hey what kinda oil do you use in that thing?

i've got a 4.6 Lincoln and i use 10W-30 but i found out it calls for 5W-30

so i was wondering what you use?

[DanielJaegerFilms]

In the winter I use 5W-30, and in the spring summer and fall I use 10W-30. The reason is because the in the winter, lower viscosity oil makes cold starts easier than higher viscosity oil.

[BRENTHENRY1989]

yep, and it reduces engine wear, as low (more fluid like) viscosity oil can circulate the engine faster in the cold winter than thicker "high" viscosity oil which will circulate slower in the cold winter, thus engine wear occurs

[chevyblows2001]

oh ok. thanks for the imformation, love your Truck btw. Diesels are great.. but i still love my 4.6L. i think i will put 5W-30 in from not on becuase it's dealer recomended... but in the summer months i might follow what you do and put 10@-30 in it

[Masikoira]

nice sond.

[V8Jagnut]

cool. sounds like it had a dry idler bearing or something :)

[propanemower13]

still like the diesel better but it sounds good five stars
