Hello All
I am Brand new to this Fourm. I've got the expedition XLT 2 wheel drive. I love this thing I'm the 1ST owner. The engine 5.4L 2 valve has 256K. It's in great Shape but needs Head gaskets.
Please help me decide what to do With this many miles on it.
1. Should I leave Engine in the SUV Tear it down And replace the head gaskets?
2. Remove the engine from the SUV And then Replace the head gaskets?
3. Find a used 5.4L Engine with Low Miles on it and Change it out?
4. Spend $3K On a Rebuilt engine?
I will do this work myself. But I'm not sure I wanna spend 3K Car this old.
What are your thoughts?
Thanks in advance!
