Hello! New member here, and looking for any helpful tips regarding engine replacement on my 2011 Expedition. I picked it up not running, and with the engine partially disassembled (valve covers, timing cover, engine harness disconnected) with about 187000 miles on the odo. I have not driven it. It has a broken valve spring and the metal debris damaged the camshaft. There is also plenty of evidence that the heads have been starved of oil. I opted to go with a reman engine because of the high mileage.
My question to all of you is what are some of the things you would recommend me changing while I have the motor out (other than the obvious belts, hoses etc.)? The truck was well taken care of and from what I was told by the previous owner (who bought it with 50k in 2014) it wasn't used to tow anything heavier than a 18' boat occasionally. Just looking to see what recommendations are out there, or if there are common issues that would be easier to fix while I have the engine out.
Thanks in advance!
