2000 Lincoln Continental Exhaust Manifold Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the right-hand exhaust manifold on 2000 Lincoln Continental?

  A: Service and repair of the right-hand exhaust manifold starts by hoisting the vehicle. Disassembly of the dual converter Y pipe and exhaust manifold connector requires removing their four bolts before disposing of the worn gasket. The EGR tube needs detaching from the exhaust manifold while the eight nuts securing the right-hand exhaust manifold require uninstalling. Discard the exhaust manifold gasket. Place a new exhaust manifold gasket before setting the right-hand exhaust manifold in position and fasten it to the correct torque using sequence tightening. Install the EGR valve to the exhaust manifold tube before securing the exhaust manifold connector by placing its gasket and connector followed by bolt attachment. The installer should apply torque of 17 - 23 Nm (13 - 17 ft. lbs.) sequence on the bolts first then perform a second torque sequence to 41 - 54 Nm (31 - 39 ft. lbs.). The completion of the repair requires reinstalling the dual converter Y pipe followed by lowering the vehicle.
