Hello All!
I have finally acquired my childhood dream of getting a Lincoln LS! The car has some history as it was given to me if anyone wants to know the backstory...It’s a 2003 Lincoln LS V8 Sport, has the Gen 2 V8 and is needing a RH Exhaust manifold gasket or manifold or both. I’ve been searching these forums and only found a thread for what looks to be done on a Gen 1 V8.
I’d like to start with some conditions, the bolts won’t be rusted and won’t break hahaha I know I know, the car is in Michigan and would like to keep the engine in the car first.
I have read through the Ford workshop manual and it looks like the person who wrote the manual has never touched a tool in his/her/their life. I’m asking whoever has done this job with the engine still in and how accurate the workshop manual was to replacement of the RH exhaust manifold gasket. Along with some helpful tips and photos.
The car also has 113K and had the transmission replaced at around 56K...
I appreciate it!
