So who's done a head swap or Head Gasket on a DOHC 4.6? My 98 Cobra gonna need the head gaskets done as the driver's side looks to be leaking coolant into a cylinder ot 2.
I can take my 5.0s apart blind folded, rebuild them and put them back together no problem. But I've only done one P.I. swap on a 4.6 but have never torn into a DOHC motor. On the 98 Cobra it looks like a real tight fit by the master cylinder and also a pain to get to the header bolts.
So my questions are how much of a hassle will it be? Can I even do the head gaskets with the motor in the car? Also if I have to pull the motor will it come out through the top of will I have to drop the suspension and take it out the bottom? It looks like a pain just to take a valve cover off the driver's side.
Thanks, Johnnie
