2007 Lincoln Town Car Exhaust Manifold Parts Q&A

• Q: How to service the right-hand exhaust manifold on 2007 Lincoln Town Car?

  A: A correct service procedure for the right-hand exhaust manifold starts by raising the vehicle through neutral gearing onto a hoist position. The service begins with disconnecting the negative battery cable followed by clockwise rotation of the drive belt tensioner to remove the drive belt. Secondly disconnect both electrical connectors which serve the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor and the A/C compressor. The transmission cooler tube assembly requires removal of the bolt which frees the transmission cooler tube bracket before extracting the nut and saving the assembly. The three compressor bolts require removal for separation before placing it aside on a support. Detach the exhaust manifold to catalytic converter linkages with the accompanying nuts before setting the catalytic converter flange aside. Finish the repair by taking out all eight nuts then removing the exhaust manifold along with its gasket while disposing of these two elements. The installation requires placing a new exhaust manifold gasket and exhaust manifold before fastening it with eight new nuts according to a specific sequence until they reach 25 Nm (18 ft. lbs.). After positioning the catalytic converter flange connect it and tighten the catalytic converter-to-exhaust manifold nuts to 34 Nm (25 ft. lbs.). Install the A/C compressor onto its position then tighten three bolts to 25 Nm (18 ft. lbs.). Position the transmission cooler tube assembly followed by tightening the nut to 9 Nm (80 inch lbs.) then the transmission cooler tube bracket bolt to 15 Nm (11 ft. lbs.). End the procedure by connecting the CKP sensor electrical connector and the A/C compressor electrical connector. Following drive belt tensioner rotation clockwise helps you install the drive belt before you reconnect the negative battery cable.
