I read something about exhaust manifolds leaking at the cylinder head. The mainfolds are mounted to the heads without gaskets at the factory. Ford has a gasket to help solve the leaking exhaust manifold. Not sure if it is listed for all engines but I saved the part number.

Exhaust manifold gasket: 5C4Z-9448-A

If you bring your truck to ford and complain they will put gaskets in since it came without gaskets. The job isnt too hard i did them my first day at ford

Question

'88_F-150: Want to take the drivers side manifold off to put in EGT probe. Don't want to take any chances of metal chips getting into the turbo. Can you get at all the manifold bolts from underneath or do you take the plastic fender well off? Thanks in advance for any info you can give me.
