head

98 Explorer with V8 5.0 People are saying the head bolts are torque to yield. But these look like normal bolts: i just really don't want to have to wait for new bolts to arrive in the mail. Can I really not reuse these?

I've been a lurker, we bought an 07 Explorer XLT 4.0 for my son when he was in high school. Bought him 15' 4runner Ltd when he finished his soph year in college and I've taken the Explorer as my own. Love it. Gets anywhere in the snow and the V6 is fine. In HS he had punched the radio at...

I have an '04 Explorer with the 4.6L V8 with 130K miles. Due to the milage, I decided it is time for a tunes up so as I was changing spark plugs, one of them (Cylinder no. 8) broke off in the head. No, not the ceramic breaking off and leaving the body. The body of the spark plug. The ceramic...
