Ok, Just joined site tonight and have not had a chance to do my searches (and I will) but my time is limited and I hope you understand. I posted in new member section and it will give you a little more backround on where I am coming from. I purchased my daughter a 2000 Ford Explorer Sport with a 4.0L SOHC and have noticed many problems. So here I am 2 days after her birthday, she has her license, and i am hiding her present in local fire dept parking lot until I feel the car is ready to give as a present.
So my question for the day is how hard is it to change valve cover gaskets and oil pan gasket?
I looked through repair manual and oil pan seems easy enough, but since manual covers so many years and engine variations its hard to be sure.
Now I understand that valve cover gaskets will require more time removing intake and such.
I am just looking for any help, tips, or advice to undertaking these repairs myself.
Thanks
Ken
