1997 explorer 4.0 intake manifold gasket replacement?
If I buy the intake manifold gasket will I need other gaskets? I haave done some lite repairs in autos. I have read the manual on replacing the gasket. Can I get some tips or short cuts? TIA

Use good hi temp RTV on the block to intake joints. New thermostat and fluids. Use a good inch lb torque wrench, I found taking the front wheels off and setting the rotors down on 1/2" plywood, removing the hood made the job easy, very little over reach. My neibours had a chuckle, said the truck looked like a kneeling elephant, Finished the job 3hrs. |
Ford parts dept. had a kit to do this at one time. 4yrs ago. It also had a new rod for something (I forgot what for) that you installed when you had the manifold off.
