1996 ford ranger 2.3 liter i did a cylinder head swap to a 1993 mustang 2.3 now timing is off what can i do?
Blown head gasket on my 1996 2.3 ford lima engine I was not able to gind a head so I found a head that was for a 1993 mustand 2.3 whit low milage and installed and now my timing is off.
I'm surprised it even started. Who told you the head works on that year motor?
The heads should interchange! Both are two plugs per cylinder engines.
First check that the timing belt is installed right meaning those timing marks are correct. Getting this wrong causes most of these problems
- Looking for your opinion So I'm a mechanic i replace my head gasket on my 1996 ford ranger 2.3 gasket the head bolts the hole 9 yards I torqued the head 51 to 90 ft pounds and the sequence was 51 to 60 to 80 90 so I don't know if i should re torque head bolts or leave it? I'm afraid if i torque them again one will break what do you think paul?
- What is the difference between a 2.3 liter & a 2.4 liter on a 4 cyl engine? I'm trying to decide on buying a 2007 Honda Element, 4 cyl-VTECH, 2.4 liter & a 2007 Ford Escape Hybird, 4 cyl Hybird, 2.3 liter. Can somebody please explain the difference in simple terms?
