engine removal for gasket change
My truck started losing coolant today, so I took it to my mechanic to see what was going on. He decided the coolant was coming from a bad lower intake manifold gasket. The bad news was that he would have to remove the entire engine just so he could get the bolts out of the manifold to replace the gasket. Could this be true? My truck is a 99 5.4 suprduty with 109,000 miles.

NO!!!! He can do everything in the engine bay. Sounds like he is trying to get extra unnessesary labor out of you. If my memory serves me correct there is a rubber hose underthere towards the back that often leaks coolant, bad news is the manifold still needs to be removed! I know mustangs have the coolant hose.
Good Luck

CAUTION:<O:p></O:p>
Do not use metal scrapers, wire brushes, power abrasive discs or other abrasive means to clean the sealing surfaces. These tools cause scratches and gouges that make leak paths. Use a plastic scraping tool to remove all traces of the head gasket (6051).<O:p></O:p>
Remove the bolts and the cylinder heads (6049).<O:p></O:p>
l Discard the head gasket and clean the cylinder block surface with a plastic scraper and solvent.<O:p></O:p>
l Use Metal Surface Cleaner F4AZ-19A536-RA or equivalent meeting Ford specification WSE-M5B392-A.<O:p></O:p>
Installation<O:p></O:p>
1. Install the (A) head gasket over the (B) dowel pins.<O:p></O:p>

2. Install the (A) cylinder head on the (B) head gasket and loosely install the (C) bolts.<O:p></O:p>
l The RH cylinder head is shown; the LH cylinder head is similar.<O:p></O:p>
3. Note:<O:p></O:p>
Make sure to tighten the bolts in sequence in three steps.<O:p></O:p>
Tighten the LH bolts in the sequence shown.<O:p></O:p>
l Tighten to 37-43 Nm.<O:p></O:p>
l Tighten an additional 85-95 degrees.<O:p></O:p>
