There is nothing special to watch out for, but just make sure everything lines up and all wires and hoses are out of the way.
We do not have the facility to do repairs here. So, since I won't be repairing your vehicle anything I tell you will have absolutely no value. If I say $300 but someone who actually does the work says $1200, what have you gained? And do I understand that you are asking to replacing a single cylinder sleeve? Why? It is unlikely that replacing a single cylinder sleeve will solve whatever issue you have. Can you tell me how much I charge per hour? If you can do that and give me a hint as to what engine and model year I can give you an approximate price on a complete engine rebuild.
No, it is typical turbo charged engine. It does have only 3 cylinder but that is nothing new and has been done before. It does have an unusual manual transmission that has no clutch pedal.
as long as the belt is on right it will work, start it
A lot.....considering you can't replace a cylinder.... unless it's in a new engine block. :)
At the engine end of the upper rad hose. When replacing it make sure the spring goes toward the engine;
This was a design Ford tried on the 4 cylinder engine. The 2 plugs per cylinder was supposed to give you a more complete burn of fuel thus increasing power and mileage. When replacing the plugs, install 8 on this engine.
It needs replacing every 60,000 miles.
Four cylinder it is on the rear of the engine. Six cylinder it is on the front of the engine.Four cylinder it is on the rear of the engine. Six cylinder it is on the front of the engine.
You can replace them in any order. Just do not forget which plug wire goes to which cylinder.. The engine is a 4.3
It takes a special puller to take the water pump pulley off of the 4 cylinder engine. It is quite a tight fit but can be done with the engine in the car. Autozone has the special puller on their loaner tool program.
A tachometer works by measuring how many time a spark plug fires. If the tachometer is designed to determine the rpm of an 8 cylinder engine it will not show the correct speed of a 2 cylinder engine. If I remember correctly if the tachometer designed for an 8 cylinder is used on a 4 cylinder engine it will show twice the number of actual rpm. So an 8 cylinder tachometer used on a 2 cylinder engine will show 4 times the actual rpm of the 2 cylinder engine. If you check around there are special tachometers designed for 2 cylinder engines.
after replacing points in engine, can correct timing be done to engine if engine is not run.
