2000 explorer 4.0 believe vin E needs head gaskets. Right now I dont have the time to do them but want to get the truck done and ready for winter. If you have the time, shoot me a price labor only. I'll have parts. Again, feeling this out as if I get my ass caught up, I'll prob do them myself.

Dont forget to check out your junky nasty timing chain "cassettes" as well on that piece pile.
I have the special cam tools for the engine if ya want em, I'll sell for $50.
$200 OTC set, barely used on 1 motor and I will never work on another again. :rolf

I may be mistaken on the vin. This is a run of the mile standard timing chain ohv motor, NOT an overhead cam pos. There were three 4.0's that year.

I know a guy that used to work as a mechanic but got out to go back to school... did the timing belt/water pump on my aveo for $120. If interested PM me for his #.
