Ford Ranger Engine Blocks

An engine block is the largest and heaviest part of the powerplant of your Ford Ranger, which incorporates cylinders, pistons, a crankshaft, and plenty of other components depending on engine type. Serving as a foundation for all these parts, the block is topped with one or two cylinder heads, so the main requirements for engine blocks are high accuracy, strength, and resistance to temperature extremes. Typically, they are made of cast iron or aluminum alloy, and many of them have cylinder liners (also known as sleeves) that form the walls of the combustion chamber.

When mileage and wear are high enough, these liners can be replaced with new ones to restore the original performance. Besides, the block contains a water jacket whose channels are filled with coolant and connected to those located in the head. If the cylinder head gasket is bad, or if the head and block are not joined properly, the coolant may leak into the cylinders and become the reason for various malfunctions. But whichever issues you've faced, you will find a reliable solution in our collection of Ford Ranger engine blocks and related parts that come from trustworthy manufacturers.
