WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Mercury Milan and 2010 Ford Fusion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Position the lower intake manifold and install the 8 bolts.
    • Tighten in the sequence shown to 10 Nm (89 lb-in).
    NOTE: If the engine is repaired or replaced because of upper engine failure, typically including valve or piston damage, check the intake manifold for metal debris. If metal debris is found, install a new intake manifold. Failure to follow these instructions can result in engine damage.
    NOTE: Clean and inspect all sealing surfaces. Install new gaskets.
