Exhaust Manifold - LH: Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Ford Econoline, 2008 Ford E450 Super Duty, and 2008 Ford Cutaway. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: Start installing the bolts with the second bolt from the rear on the top. The hole diameter is smaller, therefore allowing alignment of the remaining bolts.

NOTE: When installing the exhaust manifolds, only use prevailing torque hex flange bolts with an interference fit.

NOTE: Apply anti-seize lubricant to the bolt threads prior to installing the bolts.

Install the LH exhaust manifold, 8 spacers and 8 new bolts. Tighten the bolts in the sequence shown.
