it is a 5.4 liter and it is 4 wheel drive. I have a rod starting to make some noise and would like to put a new crank and bearings in but wanted to know if I have to pull the motor to get this project done.I have a 2000 F-150 with a 5.4 4x4 is it possible to remove the oil pan w/o pulling the engine?
Yes you do. Get an engine cradle also, if you have the cash. It makes the job much easier. Are you doing rings at the same time? And what bearings are you replacing?
Fair enough. My only suggestion would be that if you should measure your bores to ensure they are still in spec and that if the rings have quite a few miles on them, this would be a great time to replace them whether they need it or not. I think it's better than waiting another 20,000 miles and tearing it apart again for something else.I have a 2000 F-150 with a 5.4 4x4 is it possible to remove the oil pan w/o pulling the engine?
before you go tearing out the rod make sure that you can get them back in thru the bottom i had to drop min through the top on my quad4 pos motor i dont think taking the crank out is all that easy anyways you have to take the timing chain and all that crap out on that side then all the transmission side
remove the motor mounts and pull the engine up using a cherry picker thats what i would do you can replac the rod bearings but if you spun a rod your going to have to replace the crank im thinking that it would be easier to pull the motor provided you have to change the crankshaft
