- '94 XLT 4WD
I opened my mouth and out it came: "Yes, I'll do your valve job and your clutch for you, Father-in-law!" (He did my wife and I a favor, I need to pay him back.)
I am pretty knowledgable about MY vehicles but I have a list of questions about his 94 XLT 4WD w/ 4.0 (he says it's not an OHC engine). He's got 209k on it, drives it like a red-headed step child and this is what I was going to do:
Pull the head, do a 3 angle valve job, replace valve seals (not guides unless they rock +0.020... I just made that spec up), have head pressure tested, machined flat, adjust gap and throw it back on.
Here's my questions:
1. What is THE book you boys use- Chilton's (certainly not the Haynes, please tell me not the Haynes), Bentley, what?
2. Are these hydraulic lifters in the 94?
3. Do the water pump & timing belt get changed too by default while there or is that a different job, different week?
4. Besides the gasket set, what else parts do I need?
Lastly, please be nice, I'm just throwing out these terms like I know what I'm talking about with the Ford. I don't own one, I don't drive one... just stuff I know about with my units (German stuff, you wouldn't like it
I'm posting seperately on the clutch job.
TIA
BTW, this is a really nice board. The one I use for the other units is more heavily trafficked, but not as user friendly.
