Intake Manifold: Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Ford Explorer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Install new intake manifold, coolant crossover and thermostat housing gaskets.
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: Make sure the fuel rail wiring harnesses are routed correct.

NOTE: Installing the 2 long bolts first will aid in installing the intake manifold.

Install the intake manifold and the 12 bolts. Tighten in the sequence shown in illustration in 2 stages.
- Stage 1: Tighten to 10 Nm (89 lb-in).
- Stage 2: Tighten an additional 45 degrees.
Position the fuel tube and install the fuel tube-to-engine front cover bracket bolt and install the coolant tube.
- Tighten to 10 Nm (89 lb-in).

Connect the upper radiator hose to the intake manifold coolant tube.

Install the ground wire and bolt to the engine front cover.

Tighten to 10 Nm (89 lb-in).
