Ford Repair: 98 Taurus DOHC Engine removal, dohc engine, preferred procedure


Question
Hello Dennis. I'm am replacing the engine in my 98 Taurus. I've heard that I can leave it attached to the sub-frame and lower it through the bottom of the car. is this the correct procedure?

Answer
That is a pretty big job you are taking on there. By the book, removing the assembly with the subfrmae is the preferred procedure. With DOHC configuration, I don't think you can remove it from the top anyway. Having a manual handy to guide you would be a good thing to have while doing this job. Good luck
