Position a new manifold gasket against the manifold, then insert a manifold bolt through one end of the manifold and through the gasket.6. Insert a manifold bolt through the opposite end of the manifold and through the gasket. Although a deficient gasket cannot be repaired, it is a quite straightforward growth to exchange it.
Instructions
1. Application the parking brake, then lower the front of the vehicle onto safety stands with a jack.
2. Remove the two bolts that secure the exhaust cylinder to the back of the exhaust manifold with a socket wrench, then pull the tube elsewhere from the manifold.
3. Remove the bolts that secure the manifold to the cylinder attitude with a deep-set socket wrench.
4. Pull the manifold off of the engine and remove the old gasket.
5.
The 1989 Ford 302 V-8 engine was fitted with a couple of one-piece exhaust manifold gaskets. The gaskets are designed to seal the breach that exists between the mounting surface of the manifold and the exhaust ports along the length of the cylinder mind. It is for this generalization that a evil gasket is normally accompanied by the fixed odour of exhaust fumes. Aside from the disagreeable odour, the fumes too pose a health hazard, so any leak should be nowadays sealed.7. Position the manifold against the cylinder head, ensuring that the two manifold bolts align with the bolt holes in the head.
8. Hand-tighten the two manifold bolts into the cylinder head.
9. Hand-tighten the remaining bolts into the head.
10. Tighten all of the manifold's bolts to between 18 and 24 foot-pounds of torque with a torque wrench.
11. Position the exhaust pipe against the back of the manifold from underneath the car, then install and tighten the pipe's two securing bolts with a socket wrench.
