Hi:

I want to now if anyone have any tips to remove the intake manifold on a 5.4L engine. I need to repair the famous coolant leak.

Time, parts needed, risks, photos, etc.

Old posts with photos.

Any help will me appriciated.

 

Anyone??????

 

Somebody???

Any tip or advice?

 

There really aren't any tips to give. It's a fairly straight forward R&R job. Just, drain the coolant, label and disconnect/remove the COPs, vacuum hoses, wiring, and fuel lines. After that remove the bolts and lift off the intake. Clean the surfaces, replace the hose, install new gaskets, and put it all back together again. I would change the spark plugs while you're in there if they have over 50K miles on them.

 

Thanks Alloro.

Which will be the estimated time for do that?

I´m planned to change my plugs.

 

Plan on a full 8 hours to do all of it.
