Installation
NOTE: Lightly oil all retaining bolt and stud threads before installation.
NOTE: When using silicone rubber sealer, assembly must occur within 15 minutes
after sealer application. After this time, the sealer may start to set-up, and
its sealing effectiveness may be reduced.
- The lower intake manifold, cylinder head (6049)
, and cylinder block mating surfaces should be clean and
free of old gasketing material. Use a suitable solvent to clean these surfaces.
- If intake manifold was disassembled:
- Apply a coat of Pipe Sealant with Teflon® D8AZ-19554-A or
equivalent meeting Ford specification WSK-M2G350-AZ and ESR-M18P7-A to the
threads of the engine coolant temperature sensor
, all vacuum fittings, heater elbows, and electrical
fittings, if equipped. Refer to Specifications.
- Install water outlet connection (note direction) and water outlet connection gasket (8255)
. Install water outlet connection
. Tighten retaining bolts to 20-30 Nm (15-22 lb-ft).
NOTE: Using solvent, clean sealing surfaces of cylinder heads
and intake manifold
before applying Silicone Sealer.
- Apply a dab of Gasket and Trim Adhesive D7AZ-19B508-B or equivalent meeting
Ford specifications ESR-M11P17-A and ESE-M2G52-A to each cylinder head mating
surface. Press new intake manifold gasket
into place, using location pins as necessary to aid in
assembly.
- Apply a 3-4mm (1/8 inch) bead of Silicone Rubber D6AZ-19562-BA or AA or
equivalent meeting Ford specifications ESB-M4G92-A or ESE-M4G195-A at each
corner where the cylinder head
joins the cylinder block (6010)
.
- Install front and rear intake manifold end seals.
