Now that I have my Aviator engine here I need to make a list of parts needed to install it.
Heres what I have so far:
Rear head cooling mod
Intake manifold gaskets
Cam cover gaskets w/spark plug tube seals
Exhaust manifold gaskets
Oil pan gasket
Rear main seal
Timing cover seals
Front crank seal
Crank pulley bolt
Timing guides
Oil filter adapter gasket
Oil pump
Oil
Coolant
ATF
Am I missing anything?
Doing the rear main seal, are the flex plate bolts reusable?
I assume this would be a good opportunity to replace the engine and trans mounts too as they are 20 years old, is there a recommended replacement brand?
The 2005 Aviator had dual knock sensors, can I plug my harness into the one on the engine or do I need to swap my single sensor over to the new engine.
Any other hints and pointers are welcome from those who have pulled or swapped their engine too.
Thanks guys!
