I appreciate your input very much. With the research I did over that past week or so since the first start I was leaning towards lifters. It was just strange to me that it seemed so quite when cold because normally if I hear a lifter having an issue it’s first start ticking and then quiets down...

The following is all the info I received from the guy I bought it from “The engine itself is out of a 98 Explorer, the fuel system is set up for a 2000 Ranger (which is returnless) so you would have to swap your fuel rail over.” “.030 over pistons, SOHC Pan/Main Bolt Conversion, brand new...

heres a link to a video of it running cold and at the end the clatter becomes more apparent. I will probably pull at least the passenger valve cover to check things out. If I find anything I’ll have to pull off the intake plenum again to take off the other side. Thanks for the replies!

I appreciate the response. I never pulled the pan but the oil did come out quickly. I actually put 3 qts of oil and 2 qts of kerosene in the motor while it was still out and primed the oil system to try and flush everything. Dropped the engine in and drained that out then filled with 5w-30...

I’ve searched my local listings and I don’t come up with much other than sohc engines. On eBay they...

My sport is an automatic I wish it was a 5 speed! I thought the internals in the late 96 and the 97 also the 98-01 ohvs had redesigned heads pistons and flywheels (8bolt). It also seems impossible to find a somewhat lower mileage engine for less than 500-600$ they all have like 150k to over 200k...

As the title suggests I’m looking to see what my options with as little modification as possible to replace my engine. I have a 1996 Ford Explorer sport 4.0 OHV with around 125k mikes on it. I’ve owned it since 2009 with 72k on it it was my first car and I’ve maintained it very well. My...
