4.0 liter v6 ======================================================== The above answer is partially correct If you have a 1998 Ford Explorer ( XLT trim ) You could have a 4.0 liter Single Over Head Cam ( SOHC ) V6 engine or a 5.0 liter V8 engine ( which is an Over Head Valve / pushrod design engine )
No , the 1998 Ford Explorer came with ( 3 ) engines : The 4.0 liter over head valve / pushrod design engine ( the 8th " character " of the VIN is an " X " ) The 4.0 liter single over head cam ( SOHC , the 8th " character " of the vin is an " E " ) and the 5.0 liter V8 engine which is an over head valve / pushrod design engine , the 8th " character " of the VIN is a " P "
over head valve ( also known as a pushrod engine ) The Ford 4.0 liter EFI engine is an over head valve engine ( that's what I have in my 1995 Ford Explorer )
That's the 4.0 liter SOHC ( single over head cam ) V6 engine in a 1998 Ford Explorer XLT ( the 8th " character " of your VIN is an " E " ) / or you could have the 5.0 liter V8 engine , which is an over head valve design , the 8th character of your VIN would be a " P "
On a 1998 Ford Explorer Sport : If it has the 4.0 litre EFI engine ( which is an over head valve / pushrod design engine / the 8th character of the VIN is an " X " ) there are ( 3 oxygen sensors ) If it has the 4.0 litre SOHC engine ( the 8th character of the VIN is an " E " ) there are ( 4 oxygen sensors )
It's an over head valve engine ( pushrod ) it isn't an over head cam engine It has 1 exhaust valve and 1 intake valve per engine cylinder
On a 1999 Ford Explorer : The 4.0 liter V6 engine ( Over Head Valve and Single Over Head Cam ) versions have the engine oil dipstick on the drivers side of the engine
( Yes ) there were 3 engines available in the 2000 Ford Explorer ( depending on the model ) A 4.0L Single Over Head Cam V6 engine ( the 4.0L Over Head Valve V6 engine was still available in the base model ) A 5.0L Over Head Valve design V8 engine
Yes , depending on the model you could have either the 4.0 liter SOHC ( single over head cam ) or the 4.0 liter EFI which is an over head valve design ======================================================== If you look at the VIN , the 8th " character " is an " E " if the engine is the Ford 4.0 liter , SOHC , V6 engine and an " X " if it is the 4.0 liter OHV / pushrod design engine from the factory on a 1998 Ford Explorer
From 1991 to 1995 the only engine available in the Ford Explorer was the 4.0 liter OHV ( over head valve ) V6 - six cylinder engine
How do I change the head gaskets on my 1998 ford explorer?
I'm not a mechanic / technician but on your 2004 Ford Explorer , 4.0L Single Over Head Cam V6 engine : I BELIEVE the electrically heated PCV valve is located at the rear of the drivers side engine valve cover ( between the valve cover and the firewall )
