Exhaust Manifold - LH: Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Ford Pickup, 2006 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2006 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2006 Ford Cab & Chassis. 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 and tighten the bolts in the sequence shown.
