2006 Lincoln Mark LT Exhaust Manifold Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service the right-hand exhaust manifold on 2006 Lincoln Mark LT?

  A: Proper service of the right-hand exhaust manifold starts by putting the vehicle into neutral position and hanging it from a hoist. The exhaust service starts by taking out the starter and right-hand inner fenderwell. Secure the exhaust manifold to catalytic converter with two nuts before tightening new ones to 40 Nm (30 ft. lbs.) during installation. The procedure demands removal of four bolts from the sway bar before lowering its position while securing the bolts to 30 Nm (22 ft. lbs.) torque. The installation procedure calls for new exhaust manifold nuts which need installation while discarding the former eight nuts then tightening the new ones to 25 Nm (18 ft. lbs.) following a specific installation sequence. The install procedure also includes the replacement of eight exhaust manifold-to-cylinder head studs where old studs get discarded and new ones tightened to 12 Nm (9 ft. lbs.). Disassemble the right exhaust manifold before discarding its gaskets. Metal scrapers and abrasive tools should be avoided when cleaning sealing surfaces because the proper cleaning should be performed using plastic scrapers and metal surface prep methods that follow packaging instructions. The flatness of the exhaust manifold needs inspection before reinstalling the parts by performing the opposite procedures.
