Picked up an 03 with a 4.6 that I couldn't find the miss (as I have been reading tonight I wished I would have tried an intake gasket) but the motor started ticking/clicking.... not sure what it is. It's on the drivers side and seems to be under the valve cover so guessing valve or lifter. I'm not super experienced but always do my own work on my cars and motorcycles and want to attempt this.
I got a 97 Town Car motor that I heard run that sounds and even looks great. I read and read and after my head almost exploding finally just went for it in hopes for a half way easy swap. My neighbor wanted the tranny from the Town Car so we split the $500 so I got a great sounding motor for $250.
Just getting ready to pull the motor (never done one) and wondering if anyone can point me to any decent guides/how to's, I can't find any yet. I have a haynes (maybe chiltons) and should probably get a service manual as I don't think my manual is very detailed with torque specs etc and covers a lot or years/models.
Thanks!
