Does anyone have any pictures they can post of doing their intake gaskets them selves.

Any pit falls to be aware of.

 

Can't you just buy the intake gasket for like $2 at the autoparts store?

 

You are kiddin',rite?
The intake gaskets are gonna cost at least $40-$50.00!

 

Yes, I know the gaskets cost money. Pair of lower gaskets, a single upper, throttle body, etc.

I am going to change mine MY SELF was wondering if anyone had pictures of their change and an recommendations of potential problems! Have the Haynes manual but don't trust it all that well. Thanks for any help.

 

Use the Haynes manual.Just dont use there torque specs.Call Ford for the "revised" torque specs.

 

Whoops, I had a dee dee moment there, I thought he was talking about the throttle body gasket :o It was late at night ok??

 

I took mine apart careful and re-used it. On the old truck i used RVT Sealant on both sides, smoothed it out and let it set for a second or two. While it was still wet, i screwed them on so they sealed together. Didn't want all of it to just squish out the side.

 

i'd rather pay the $40 and know that they're not going to leak than reuse old ones and possibly have to take it all apart and do it again. IMO

 

Not that the front gasket is hard to get to anyways. Took me all of 10 mins
