I've made some progress and plan to have the engine and transmission out this weekend. The removal is complicated by the fact the crank is seized and I still can't get it to move even after removing the pan to access the crank bolts.....I need to turn the engine to access the torque converter bolts but it looks like I will have to pull the motor off the transmission with the converter attached.
The subframe is off and the engine is hanging off a support bar. All in all the engine removal hasn't been too bad thus far.
Here are some pics of the carnage:
LOOK AT ALL THAT SLUDGE! I will never follow 15000mi. or once a year oil change recommendations, on ANY car I own.
Hello,
I just purchased a 2013 XF and requires a new engine. Do you have any notes on the engine replacement? I have a 2 post hoist and all the tools. I plan to remove the engine from the bottom. Any tips on where to source the engine in Canada? I need a supercharged engine and I believe it is a 4.2L.

Thank you,
The 5.0 replaced the 4.2 in 2009 so with a 2013 you have the 5.0 for sure although this thread is about a 4.2.
