there is no specific time, because you dont really know if anything is going to go wrong or what your going to run into, the time that it takes you is determined by you.
You have to remove all the hoses etc. from the top of the engine and on the drivers' side you have to remove the brake master cylinder so the cover can clear, it takes time and it's a pain to do, good luck.
What gaskets. Need more info.
the only thing that can replace air bags on a Lincoln is a conversion kit, this takes it from air struts to regular spring struts. go online to Suncore Industries to but the conversion kit, it gonna cost you though plus shipping. you can mail me at m3idnight @netscape.net, until then, chow there is also another website its strutmasters.com they sell the kits as well for a reasonable price.
On 4 cylinder it takes about 20-30 minutes. For V-6 it might take couple hours.
First place to start obviously battery-check voltage. Even if you have "some" power it takes almost 10 volts to turn your starter
well from what ive heard its easier to take off the front clip to replace them. But if you blew you head gaskets your better off just pulling the engine and studding your heads so it never happens again. I assume your probably running a chip, which it takes 40 pounds of boost to blow the head gaskets in the 6.0 Powerstroke. I own an 04 also, it is SCT tuned. I had my head gaskets changed and heads studded, havent had a problem since. But its usually a job for a Diesel Mechanic.
you don't Not unless you really know what your doing. You would have to pull your engine out to replace both heads. To have a mechanic do it, it would cost upwards of 1,400 to 3,000 dollars because of the work and how long it takes to pull An engine out and replace the heads and put it back together and into the car again I suggest you start saving up ;)
You must remove the intake manifold, disconnect the exhaust manifolds, and then remove the heads. This is a major repair that takes skill and knowledge. Unless you know what you are doing this repair is best left to a professional.
approximatly $545 and it takes about 6-8 hours if you do it yourself and take your time 10-12 hours and the kit is worth 69 dollars and includeds all the necessary gaskets there are great websites with pictures that show exactyly how to do it and they are very informative also good luck
Power window motors seems to fail often Does not have an indash glovebox Small trunk Valve cover gaskets takes all day to replace. Other than that it's a fine car with plenty of pep.
I'm doing this now. It's a little daunting, because you have to take off the intake manifold. It's not particularly hard, it just takes time. It took me 4-5 hours to simply get everything taken apart. Lots of hoses and couplers to disconnect. You have to drain about 1/2 gallon of coolant from the radiator before you start. Also, getting all of the gaskets was the hard part. I had to special order most from a Suzuki dealership. Total cost of gaskets: about $120. Gaskets you'll need: - Intake manifold gaskets - Valve cover gaskets - Throttle body gasket (believe me, you'll need it) - Surge tank pipe gaskets (2) (front pipe with two bolts on each side) - Intake collector gaskets (2) (rear pipe with three bolts on each side, to which the throttle body is connected)
According to the 1998 Lincoln Continental Owner Guide : The engine cooling system capacity is ( 14.25 U.S. quarts ) * it came from the factory with a 50 / 50 mix of distilled water and GREEN colored antifreeze ( meeting Ford specification ESE-M97B44-A ) *** so , for a 50 / 50 mix it takes just over 7 quarts of antifreeze mixed with 7 quarts of preferably distilled water
