As stated in the title I need help with the installation of a complete engine in a 2002 ford ranger. I had the old engine removed by a shop when I was deployed due to a probable blown head gasket (overheating) however there ended up being numerous problems (cracked heads, broken timing chain guides, etc, etc,) I had the shop stop all work after they removed the engine, due to the fact that they changed the price of the labor and were now estimating the total expenditures to be in excess of $5,000.00. Needless to say I now have a used engine to replace it but having not taken the engine out I don't know all of the specifics on how a new one would go in and could use help locating a detailed removal, and or installation walk-through to help with the installation of the new motor.
Thank you for reading, and FYI if anyone is in the Ft Hood area and would be willing to assist with the install at sprockets it would be much appreciated beer and bbq as payment
sincerely,
Christian Ramsey
