Yes, normally what happen is it throw out the valve timing. That is, one or two piston could be effected here with its related intake and exhaust valves. What could happen, broken piston tops, bent valves or broken valves.


Since, the 2000 Lincoln has a 4.6 litre V8 engine it will double over head cams. This mean each side of the engine on this V8 has it own camshaft. Also, Ford could have installed a cam brake, that is if the timing is lost, it will stop all valves in both heads to a close position. I hope so, some 4 cylinder have this option.



If the engine doesn't have a camshaft brake then major overhaul. It would be easier to buy an rebuilt factory engine to install. A good engine remanufacture that rebuild engine for Ford, Chevy, Dodge, and other auto manufactures would be you best bet. In other words, they rebuild those engines the way Ford wants them to be rebuilt. Best of luck. GB...stewbison

what eng v8 v6 known for bad intake gaskets poss head gasket better check soon so you dont blow engine will only get worse

almost every rear drive drive full size used the 305 V8, so u can get an engine from a Buick La sabre, Pontiac bonneville and firebird, also Oldsmobile 88, and don't forget Camaro. any 305 chevy V8 will bolt in, also the 350 V8 will bolt in, this is a much better choice..

First you need to determin witch one is #1 on cap Witch usely is the one directly behind carb. or throutle body. than its perty strate forward from there rotor runs clockwise. Cap only goes on one way. Food for thought when you chg. cap or wires one at a time is the rule even for a seasoned mechanic.

Whenever you have excessive pressure in the crankcase, it's usually a sign of severe engine wear. Typically piston rings that are no longer sealing well and combustion pressure is "blowing by" into the oil pan pushing oil and vapor out of the engine wherever it can. It's time to rebuild the engine.

Where do you live???? I have a neighbor that has a rebuilt 350, on a stand ah hear it run!!!!

youre better offf getting another engine..make sure you hear it run before you by it

the fireing order for a 2.8 is 1-2-3-4-5-6
