Intake Manifold: Installation

To install, reverse removal procedure; use new gaskets and "O" rings. Lubricate fuel injector "O" rings with Light Grade Oil (ESE-M2C39-F) before installing.
Ensure alignment tabs on intake manifold gaskets align with holes of cylinder head. Tighten intake manifold bolts to specification in sequence. See Fig 1. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS table at end of article.
When installing fuel lines, install new "O" rings on fuel lines. Use only specified fuel resistant "O" rings (Brown in color). Lightly coat "O" rings with clean engine oil before installing. Clean fittings and replace garter spring (if necessary).
To install remaining components, reverse removal procedure. Adjust all control cables and fluid levels. Fill cooling system with Ford Coolant (E2FZ-19549-AA). When installing spark plug wire assembly, ensure wires are connected properly. See Fig 2.
