I'd guess a grand, maybe more. The gasket isn't pricey, but getting at it takes a few hours. So it'll mostly be labor you're paying for. It all depends on where you live and who you have to do the repair. Replacing a head gasket is a major repair, even though the gasket itself is relatively inexpensive. Replacing this will also require replacing other gaskets. Labor costs vary greatly from area to area. In my area of the country, using a good independent shop, this repair would run around $500. It would be much higher at a Ford dealership.
the slave cylander is located in the transmission on the 2002 Ford Ranger. Better see a mechanic to do the job.
I'm not a mechanic / technician but my Chilton repair manual does not show a knock sensor in the engine wiring schematic for the 2.3 liter 4 cylinder in a 1994 Ford Ranger
It depends on if it is a 4 cylinder or 6 cylinder. If you do the leg work to remove the head(s) and take them to an engine shop it should be no more than $250 per head. I just had my 4 cylinder done for $215. Expect to pay much more if you cannot remove and re-install the head yourself. $65+ an hour for a mechanic to remove and install the heads.
Yes.
The slave cylinder on a 1988 Ranger can not be repaired. The cylinder will have to be replaced, then the system bled.
where is the number 3 cylinder located on a 2.5 ford ranger engine
I'm not a mechanic but I would start by checking the brake fluid level in the brake master cylinder in your engine compartment
I am converting a ford ranger automatic (a4ld) transmission 4wd to a 5 speed manual from a 4 cylinder ford ranger. Will it work. What is needed?
Firing order for 1996 Ranger 4-cylinder engine is 1-3-4-2.
Several factors are involved with the ability to swap these transmissions. Depending on the Ranger year, the bellhousing and clutch systems can be different sizes, as well as the mounts. With the year of the Ranger and the 6 cylinder transmission then you can determine if the switch is possible.
I'm not a mechanic / technician but I believe Fords twin plug ignition system was used to reduce the vehicle emissions
I'm not a mechanic / technician but I believe it is on the drivers side of the transmission , extended out from the bell housing , where the hydraulic line enters the bell housing for the slave cylinder
