Are Ford engines complicated or hard to work on for someone that barely knows anything about cars?

They are all about the same underneath all the modern sensors and electronics. Thats where the problem lies for most people.

All modern engines are fairly complex and computerised. Not impossible to work on, but you will want at least a Haynes manual to do any serious work on them.

Older engines are basically simpler things, and easier to work on. Rebuilding an old 70s vintage engine is relatively straight forward. Doesn't matter if it's a Ford, Toyota, GM, they all work the same way. A 2010 engine is a lot more technical.
