Hi there
I'm from Iceland and I have a couple of questions for you Lincoln experts.
I have a Lincoln Navigator 1999 5.4L Intech 32v engine.
Owned it for 4 years now. But I have driven it for maybe 2 years, because the engine started knocking. So I stopped the car for 1 year and then I had mechanic look at the engine. He opened the engine from the oil pan. And I was told the rod bearing was broken and the crankshaft had small scratches/cracks in it.
We took a change and only replaced the rod bearings with new ones, because it's kinda expensive to change out the old crankshaft . Then closed up the engine started it up and I ran great for only 2 weeks! And the knocking started again so I stopped the car for couple weeks and started it up again and now the engine only turns 1/3!
So the question is, what should be the next step
1.There is no 5.4 intech 32v replacement engine that I can find here in my country Iceland. So that's off
2. It's really expensive to let mechanic fix it 3000-4000 dollars
3. If I want to open the engine up. Do I have to take the body of the chassis or is there another way? Because I don't have I lift.
4. Where is the best place to order replacement parts online like crankshafts and other engine parts.
5. Can I engine swap a 5.4l Triton engine or other engines ? Is it a lot of work? Has anyone put a diesel engine in a Navigator ?
What would be the best way to go from here? :smile2:
I need ideas! :huh:
