Engine




















a Early build vehicle cooling systems are filled with Motorcraft(R) Specialty Green Engine Coolant and late build vehicle cooling systems are filled with Motorcraft(R) Specialty Orange Engine Coolant. Use the same type of coolant that was originally used to fill the cooling system. Do not mix coolant types. Mixing coolant types degrades the coolant corrosion protection and may damage the engine or cooling system.

NOTICE: Do not loosen or remove the crankshaft pulley bolt without first installing the special tools as instructed in this procedure. The crankshaft pulley and the crankshaft timing sprocket are not keyed to the crankshaft. The crankshaft, the crankshaft sprocket and the pulley are fitted together by friction, using diamond washers between the flange faces on each part. For that reason, the crankshaft sprocket is also unfastened if the pulley bolt is loosened. Before any repair requiring loosening or removal of the crankshaft pulley bolt, the crankshaft and camshafts must be locked in place by the special service tools, otherwise severe engine damage can occur.

NOTICE: During engine repair procedures, cleanliness is extremely important. All parts must be thoroughly cleaned and any foreign material, including any material created while cleaning gasket surfaces, that enters the oil passages, coolant passages or the oil pan, can cause engine failure.

NOTE: Assembly of the engine requires various inspections/measurements of the engine components (engine block, crankshaft, connecting rods, pistons and piston rings). These inspections/measurements will aid in determining if the engine components will require replacement.

96. NOTE: Inspect and install new intake manifold gaskets, if necessary.

- Tighten to 17 Nm (150 lb-in).






114. Install the new exhaust manifold gasket on the engine.

115. NOTICE: Failure to tighten the exhaust manifold nuts to specification a second time will cause the exhaust manifold to develop an exhaust leak.

NOTE: Make sure to tighten the nuts in the sequence in 2 stages.
Position the exhaust manifold and tighten the 7 new exhaust manifold nuts in the sequence shown in 2 stages:
- Stage 1: Tighten to 48 Nm (35 lb-ft).
