1997 Expedition XLT 4x4: Is it worth the effort/ money?
Depends on what you're going for. If it's just an off-road beater vehicle then repair / rebuild what you have. If you're going for a performance off-roader I would look for a post-2000 5.4 2V motor and rebuild that. Check the motor mounts while you have the heads off. Much easier to change...- Hamfisted

Do you know what weight oil you're using in the motor ? Some people have had good luck switching to a heavier oil, like a 10w-40 to regain phaser operation or at least minimize the missing or rough running. It's a relatively cheap option to try. So if you try the new cam sensor and have no...- Hamfisted

Weird random burning smell, small leak?
That doesn't look too bad really. Do you notice a oil stain in your driveway where you park it? If you want to freshen up the seals you can get a bottle of that ATP-205 and pour it in the crankcase. It works very well to rejuvenate oil seals and gaskets, without harming the rest of the motor...- Hamfisted

Oil leak?
Yeah looks like it's just coming from the oil filter and running back. Clean the area off with some degreaser or carb cleaner spray and make sure your oil filter is snug and recheck it in a week or so to see if you can isolate the cause of the leak. Are you using a Motorcraft 820 filter ? .- Hamfisted

Is the security LED flashing high speed when you try to start it ? That would indicate a PATs problem. Like it doesn't recognize the key.

Short Circuit?
The only thing directly behind the glovebox that might smoke is the AC blower and it's speed resistor or that harness plug to the resistor. But I don't know how your "aftermarket equipment" is wired in. Does your AC blower still function normally ? All speeds available ? .- Hamfisted

Converting Lighting to LEDs
You can replace your stock hazard flasher relay for an LED flasher relay to eliminate the hyperflash. The LED relay will work with either incandescent or LED bulbs.
