- 97 Ford Explorer Sport
Hi everyone . Im new here but have followed some nice post and learned alot about my 97 Ford Explorer Sport 4.0 Sohc engine ... Heres the problems im having . Cold start trouble until it warms up . I believe its the intake rings . Now my coolant fluid is leaking from back and front left of engine . Its head gaskets and i think water pump housing . I got the engine out now with help from posts in this thread but am having trouble finding a post about how to replace headgaskets . Also is there a diagram of engine parts with names ? I have trouble remembering what things are called ... I have changed engines and transmissions before but never opened them up . So if anyone can help me get started that would be appreciated . And any tips or info for what might and or should be replaced while i have it out is welcomed . Thanks
