Help!

Cou_grrr · 03-18-2007, 08:30 PM

So my brothers cougar started exploding oil filters (something to do with a stuck valve on the oil pump) and now the engine is toast. We could probably do a 3L swap on our own but neither of us have time and we need the car back. Anybody know a shop that will do a 3L swap in Colorado?

best advice is to get some friends over, rent an engine jack, and pull it yourself, cheapest way to do it and probably faster. If your not sure how to do it, just read the forums there's plenty of advice on how to do it.

Well we found a used 2.5 from a 99 cougar for cheap so we're not going to do a 3L swap. We'll just switch 2.5s instead of trying to figure out all those options for the 3L swap.
