302 conversion 308 Conversion AHA! Now I'm getting somewhere I have the 4.0 SOHC engine in my 97 XLT. To make a long story short, I can have the engine rebuilt by a dealer, or I can buy a remanufactured and install it myself. I don't want to put that engine back in - too many...

ohms I stand corrected. They are 4 ohms each which makes me wrong. Sorry.

Ohms I have to agree - ohms is the problem. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but there are two separate 2 ohm voice coils. When hooked in series - positive to negative - the ohms add together. It works just like like a 9 volt battery, which is made up of 6 1.5 volt cells wired...

timing chains I am quite sure that there are 4 timing chains on this engine - three are visible with the front cover off and the fourth is in the rear of the engine - which is why engine removal is required to change it. I have 106,000 on the car. One mechanic told me about the recall on...

I need help. My timing chain guide broke, allowing one of the 4 timing chains on my Vin E 4.0L engine to slip. After a month of waiting and talking to repair shops, it seems that my least expensive repair option is to purchase a rebuilt long block for 2800 dollars, and having it installed...
