Okay, I grew up in the days of the straight 6, V-8's, in-line 4s...
New cars confuse me. Although I was pretty good with points and
condensers. HAHA.
So, my son bought a Lincoln LS. He lives an hour away. He does not
KNOW what type of engine it has.
He is bringing it "home" on Sunday for me to show him how to change
the oil, filters, etc. At least I can still do some things.
But, I need to buy the filters beforehand. And we are in a very rural
area and I can buy the filters on Saturday or not at all.
So, is there an easy way for him to know how many cylinders his car
has, so I can buy the right parts tommorrow (Saturday)?
The parts store said some of the parts are the same on both cars, but
others are different.... |

Tell him to go to ebay, search Lincoln LS and look at the engine
pictures in a few of the ads.
for instance, this one shows the engine in a V6
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Lincoln-LS-w-Luxury-Pkg-05-LS-PremiumV6...s-aver-
and this one shows a V8
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Lincoln-LS-WE-FINANCE-2005-LINCOLN-LS-L...8-SPORT
In those picts you will notice that the engines looks quite different,
and in fact V8 or V6 is written on the top cover.

Engine displacment will be on a decal under the hood... This is a good
thing.... VIN 8 is engine displacement (this is the 8th digit of the VIN)...
This is a good thing....
I'm a top posting bastuhd... this is a good thing....

What's a bastuhd? I heard of a bastard before, but not a bastuhd. Either
way, top-posting is not good. However, your understanding that you're a
bastard is a good start. Now, you need to understand that top posting is
rude and only idiots do it.
More accurately, the 8th digit specifies the particular engine, not
engine displacement. For example, the Taurus had different engines with
the same displacementment (Vulcan and Duratec). They had different 8th
digits. You can find out more by entering a particular VIN here:
https://www.fleet.ford.com/maintenance/VIN_tools/default.asp.
Alternatively, you can download a VIN guide in the PDF format, and use
that to find out the engine the car has.

If the car has a manual transmissions, it's a Duratec V6. IIRC, both the
V6 and V8 were available with the automatic transmission.

That's easy, count the plugs. TheV6 and the V8 are they same modular engine
that can be of a number of differnt cylinders

One is a 60* V-6 the other is a 90* V-8.
There is no way they can be "they same modular engine." >> Stay informed about: How many cylinders? Lincoln LS |

All2.3s are 4cyl, even though some rangers would appear to be VERY
narrow V8s

It is obvious to the observer that the engine has two plugs per cylinder
If you are correct than the information I was given was not correct.

Really?
The OP states; "So, my son bought a Lincoln LS. He lives an hour away.
He does not
KNOW what type of engine it has."
If he can't manage to look at the VECI sticker, how could one suppose
that he could determine one plug per cylinder from two?

OP again. Glad I gave the group a good subject to debate. LOL.
Dear son is a high school dropout, I blame the school for a number of
reasons, but this is a car forum...
Anyway, he managed to get a minimum wage job working for a law firm.
Within a few months, they saw he actually did have a brain, although
it is NOT mechanically-oriented.
So, he got a decent raise and a better job and bought the Lincoln.
Asked him to open the hood Friday night to look for any stickers,
etc. Well, the car has a giant plastic engine cover that says
"Lincoln V-8," so we figured it was probably a V-8.
He showed up today...and guess what...it is a V-8. We got all the
warning lights turned off that had been pestering him by flashing
"change this, check that." We changed oil, oil filter and Cabin
Filter. We left the air filter....the engine has been customized and
it sports a $70 K&N air filter....it looked clean. >> Stay informed about: How many cylinders? Lincoln LS |
