How To Replace Cylinder Head on Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator?

The procedure is similar for both ford and Lincoln car models:-----

The details to remove Cylinder head are as follows:----

Removal & Installation

CAUTION

Fuel injection systems remain under pressure, even after the engine has been turned OFF. The fuel system pressure must be relieved before disconnecting any fuel lines. Failure to do so may result in fire and/or personal injury.

NOTE

To correctly tighten the cylinder head bolts, an angle torque wrench is needed.

1. Before servicing the vehicle, refer to the precautions section.
2. Remove the engine.
3. Remove the bolts and the flexplate.
4. Install the engine onto a suitable engine stand.
5. Disconnect the right hand Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor connector.
6. Remove the stud bolt and the right hand radio ignition interference capacitor.
7. Disconnect the right hand Variable Camshaft Timing (VCT) solenoid connector.
8. Disconnect the 2 engine wiring harness retainers from the right hand valve cover studs.
9. Disconnect the connector retainer from the coolant tube.
10. Disconnect the 4 right hand ignition coil connectors.
11. Disconnect the Cylinder Head Temperature (CHT) sensor connector.
12. Disconnect the 2 engine wiring harness retainers from the left hand valve cover studs.
13. Disconnect the left hand VCT solenoid connector.
14. Disconnect the oil pressure sensor connector.
15. Disconnect the left hand CMP sensor connector.
16. Remove the stud bolt and the left hand radio ignition interference capacitor.
17. Disconnect the 4 left hand ignition coil connectors.
18. Remove the 8 bolts and the 8 ignition coils.
19. Disconnect the Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor connector.
20. Remove the engine wiring harness from the engine assembly.
21. Remove the bolt and the oil level indicator tube and discard the O-ring seal.
22. Remove the bolt and the right hand CMP sensor.
23. Remove the bolt and the left hand CMP sensor.
24. Remove the bolt and the CKP sensor.
    
    CAUTION

    Do not use metal scrapers, wire brushes, power abrasive discs or other abrasive means to clean the sealing surfaces. These tools cause scratches and gouges which make leak paths. Use a plastic scraping tool to remove all traces of old sealant.
    
    
    
    CAUTION

    When removing the valve cover, make sure to avoid damaging the variable camshaft timing (VCT) solenoid.
    
    
    
    NOTE

    The bolts are part of the valve cover and should not be removed.
25. Remove the bolts and the valve covers.
26. Clean the valve cover mating surface of the cylinder head with silicone gasket remover and metal surface prep.
27. Inspect the valve cover gasket. If the gasket is damaged, remove and discard the gasket. Clean the valve cover gasket groove with soap and water or a suitable solvent.
28. Remove the bolts, the coolant pump pulley and the 3 accessory drive belt idler pulleys.
29. Remove the bolts and the accessory drive belt tensioner.
30. Remove and discard the crankshaft pulley bolt. Using tool 303-009, remove the crankshaft pulley.
31. Using the tool 303-107, remove the crankshaft seal.
32. Remove the front 4 oil pan bolts.
    
    NOTE

    Correct fastener location is essential for assembly procedure. Record fastener location.
33. Remove the engine front cover fasteners and the cover.
34. Remove the crankshaft sensor ring from the crankshaft.
35. Position the crankshaft keyway at the 12 o'clock position.
    
    NOTE

    f the camshaft lobes are not exactly positioned at the 12 o'clock position, the crankshaft will require one full additional rotation to 12 o'clock. The number 1 cylinder camshaft exhaust lobe must be coming up on the exhaust stroke. Verify by noting the position of the 2 intake camshaft lobes and the exhaust lobe on the number 1 cylinder.
    
    
    
    NOTE

    If the components are to be reinstalled, they must be installed in the same positions. Mark the components for installation into the original locations.

    CAUTION

    Place clean shop towels over exposed engine cavities. Carefully remove the towels so foreign material is not dropped into the engine.
    
    
    
    CAUTION

    The cylinder head bolts must be discarded and new bolts must be installed. They are tighten-to-yield designed and cannot be reused.
    
    
    
    CAUTION

    Do not use metal scrapers, wire brushes, power abrasive discs or other abrasive means to clean the sealing surfaces. These tools cause scratches and gouges that make leak paths. Use a plastic scraping tool to remove all traces of the head gasket.
