Late to the party. 20+ year service tech, I would have welded a 5/16 nut to the stud let it cool down completely and turned it out. The weld heat swells the broken bolt and crushes the corrosion. Great video! 👍
In my experience, panther piss (aka pb blaster) and left handed drill bits are a mechanic’s best friend for extracting broken studs.
Anyway, Good job! I’m fixing to buy a 2002 F150 with this very issue and tackle it. This video was very informative.
I was going to say that. Often it pulls out the bolt
Im no mechanic and i learned alot from your video but i do have experience with snapped bolts.....next tim put a washer around the bolt to protect your gasket matting surface...then grab your welder and build up your broken bolt a little more .....grab what ever bolt you want and put it on top of your built up weld....make sure its centered well.....weld it on well. Dont worry the washer protects everything under it.....then back out your broken bolt with ease.....no worry of off centered drilling and no retaping anything.....i would cleanethe threads up with a wire brush that you can put inside the hole that fits on a drill.....something caused it to stick in the first place so clean it out and add your new bolt.........thanks for teaching me how to fix my intake manifold leak. Hope i returned some knowledge your way to save you in the future....thanks again and cheers...have a great day.
Bought my f150 5.4 new in 2000. 21yrs and 300,000 mile later the cross over shot craps. Parts and seals wear out...can't complain. Put new Dorman on myself and no complaints. No problems removing old one or installing new one. Do not use air tools on new one and follow instructions and torque pattern that come with it...do not play it by feel. I like those self tapping screws compared to the oem ones.
Sometimes those two valves can be a pain to work on but they are one of the most durable and hard-working modular engines Ford ever created! 👍🏾
Just discovered this on our 180k '03 Expy while changing a stuck open thermostat. Looks like it's been slowly seeping for awhile, but so little that the coolant level basically remains unchanged. It hasn't fully failed yet, so I guess that's something. Waiting til I have a few days because if I'm taking off the whole manifold, I'm gonna be looking at a lot of other stuff. Hopefully I don't get any more seized bolts like I did on the EGR
the last cpl bolts ive drilled out id stuff it with papertowel, pack tight then twist out and usually threads come with
Getting my 2003 4.2 done. I’d do it myself but I gotta go to work. Looks like a tedious job. Thanks for posting this video.
It is good to see a real mechanic in a video not like some want to be mechanics that don't know the name of a hose clamp : )
This a great video for all us Ford 4.6 and 5.4 2V engine owner very detail and informative
Thanks

I got the exact same coolant leak on my 2001 supercrew with a 5.4 but on the other side where it flows into the heater core. Never done the job before but will be tackling it thanks for the video. I hope I do not break any bolts haha
me too.
I'm glad I watch your video. I learned a lot and most importantly know that I DO NOT want to do this job. Very good video editing and bumper music!

It’s great to see what and how it’s done so someone doesn’t get rips off
So glad my 97 e150 & 98 f150 4.8L have all aluminum manifolds..
Should replace the heater coolant tube while the manifold is off.
james glenn you mean 4.6 Chevy is 4.8
Looked like right hand drill bits to extract bolt. Why not use left hand bits? Drilling makes bolt hot, counter clockwise cutting action could grab bolt and thread it out. Win win.
The torx socket trick didnt seem like it was happening either.
I appreciate this video as I am just taking ownership of a "5.4 with a coolant leak". I think I may buy a new manifold as well. Looks like less than $150. Easy choice.
Great job, those intakes are a pain to replace. Just as an FYI, the sensor that you unplugged was the cylinder head temperature sensor. I just had to deal with my own faulty one, and it’s a pain to try without taking the intake manifold off... though not impossible.
Thanks man! I wasn't sure what it was and i didn't bother looking it up. Learn something new every day ;-)
Hey Tim, just replaced mine cylinder head temperature sensor a couple weeks ago, never threw a code but it was causing the engine to run rough and lot of loss of power. The knock sensor is in a different location. It was definitely a pain to replaced without taking the intake manifold apart. Good job though on this video, not boring and stuff with the time lapse.
You can get that sensor out without pulling the intake. Its definitely a pain in the ass but possible. I just changed mine the other day. I should of done more research on that crossover pipe before i tried to pry it off. So now I believe i messed up those seals. Got a new oem manifold on the way so I don't have to tackle this later. Gonna go ahead and replace the plugs, valve cover gaskets while I'm in there. Truck is an 03 fx4 with almost 200k. Been an awesome truck so it definitely deserves some love. Plus i gotta get that check engine light off before inspection next month.
Where left hand drill bits come in handy sometimes they get it hot enough and catches screw it out with drill
Damn cool video ! Our leak is atvtbe back of the engine so I guess it’s something different
A helpful video, i got to do this on my lincoln town car, every shop or mechanic said its not worth fixing so i am going to fix it myself wish me luck.
cool vid. watching you extract that bolt was nerve wrecking haha
Should have replaced with motorcraft oem intake. I installed the Dorman aftermarket only to have to redo the job 2 years later. aftermarket is crap. Trust me the motorcraft one is much better quality and will last you another 200,000 miles like mine did.
Cleaning the lens and I thought you were flipping me the bird
Awesome! I wish you were my mechanic.
Nice job love the time lapse.
Good job taking care of that bolt.
This issue is such a pain for some people it puts coolant in plug boots and causes missfires. All 10th gen fords i see at pull and pay have this exact issue rarely a different issue leads them to be scraped
I have a 1997 F150 5.4 v8 triton. It has a metal intake not plastic. I replaced the intake manifold gaskets and it’s still leaking from under the thermostat housing area at the manifold gasket. Any thoughts? I cleaned all the mating surfaces very well. I did not have a torque wrench to do inch pounds on the first sequence so I just guessed. I didn’t torque them to spec but tightened them as evenly as I could. Is it coincidence that it’s leaking from the same location or do you think the intake manifold is compromised?
You ROCK!! Thank you for posting. I'll change my intake manifold as well...
I paint my new intake white with epoxy refrigerator paint so I can see where the bolts go. Why didn't. you change the metal heater hose pipe under the intake it will rust out? This is still a very good video. I have changed my 1996 police int intake 2 times 350 th miles. Thank You.
Just changed my intake gaskets and valve cover gaskets on my 97 4.6 I reused the aluminum intake and changed the gaskets all together intake was good just needed gaskets. I ordered my parts like always at rock auto with shipping and handling of both gasket sets I was looking right at 50 bucks also replaced thermostat housing and gasket. Done it all myself with very little help just setting the hood off and being reach the intake when I put it back on
That's awesome to hear. How long did this job take you to complete??
exloaded it all together took me about 2 weeks cause I got sick at the start of working on the truck and couldn’t work for about a week
@@pocketsproductions8825 oh my, glad to see you recovered and got the job done. That's not really a timeline I can work with, haha. Any tips you could pass along that you encountered along the way?? I plan on changing mine out as well, but typically only have 2 days off from work, at a time
exloaded the only troubles I had was two back boots on the right side was a tight fit with me having big hands but once you get them out it’s easy to take everything off and make sure you put paper towels or something in the intake on the heads so debris doesn’t get in them. Then just make sure they are clean and lay down new gaskets if I wouldn’t have gotten sick it could have been done in two days
I have a '97 in the 4.6 and coolant is leaking down under the cab on the passenger side. Could it be the same thing?
Thanks for that video I am going to attempt to do the same exact thing. Maybe ill make a video like you did.
My 98 4.6 Triton has an aluminum upper and lower that has this same leak. Blue Devil buys you about a year or until you have to put antifreeze in it due to weather... that sped up the leak coming back but Blue devil worked great you just have to thoroughly flush all the coolant and rust out and buy a new thermostat... Then bypass your heater core and pour it in through your top hose .. bam seals it right up before it can even get to your radiator almost... people do it wrong every day and ruin everything... IT BINDS TO RUST.. I have one huge question: why does my 98 4.6 triton have a lower intake manifold and yours not? Might be a dumb question but Im not a mechanic that works on motors..
PS there is a special place up by the fire for everybody involved in this design. FORD engineer said we are in business to sell parts and labor. That is why they stoped making the 9in rear end.
and the 4.9 300 CID inline 6 , too reliable
Great video. I don't see where you mention where you got the kit from.
Thank You
For that bolt that needed extraction why didn't you just weld a nut on the end of it since it's protruding out a little bit.
What are the symptoms? Could it cause coolant to enter the combustion chamber?
Some situation! Broken bolt too! Dammmm ford!
Thanks for the education..
Any time you have a steel bolt in aluminum weld a nut to it. Will save you so much time and energy.
Are you sure that is the knock sensor? I thought that's the head temp sensor.
Thanks this was a big help!
We are getting a coolant drip leak down the front of the tranny and starter
I cant see where it is coming from Im wondering if this is it
I see your in CT, Im in Mass - I have a 2014 Expedition with the same problem in the same exact place. How much do you charge? You seem like a talented mechanic and I wouldn't mind driving down.
thanks for a great video but how much would the cost be to replace the intake on a 5.4
My 2000 ford f150 overheats only when I’m over 50 mph for 20minutes then it starts overheating!! What can the problem be ??
Thanks for the video! 👍
I got coolant on my plug #8 is this an intake, manifold, gasket, leak or a head gasket?
Should have replaced the hose under the intake manifold also.
Hi there Greg, I'm about to replace my intake manifold and am looking for some advice on what all I need to change while I have the intake out. What is the part # or name of the hose you speak of? Also, do you recommend I change anything else while I'm swapping the intake?
Good job
My 4.2 leaks coolant into the oil pan from the reservoir while it's not running. Changed the water pump and timing cover gasket... anyone else dealt with this issue? I'm assuming it's only 1 of 4 remaining issues. Thinking either it's intake manifold gasket, head gasket, or a cracked block or head.
Amazing video, thank you. However the question is: what happened to Micky mouse?
Thanks for the video! Lots of good info. Not looking forward to performing the job though :-(
Its not terrible. Just take your time and you shouldnt have a problem.
nice video but next time take a little time show us more like torque spec's and something i been wondering about these new intake manifolds they already have gaskets on them on the bottom do you trust them better then a OEM steal & rubber gasket? should one use a thin layer of high temp silicon to ensure the gaskets don't blow out later on down the road?
As i get more filming equipment, and more time, ill be able to go into more detail.
Thank you for this video. I had my I.M. out already and thought my leak was just @ the I.M.-head gasket. I pulled the Xover and SURE ENOUGH it's a leaker! What did you do about the pitting in the head? Did the new gasket fill it and seal it or did you add gasket maker in the voids? Thanks!
I've run into this, i seen some pitting in this video and certainly would have used some rtv. my pitting is a bit deeper and I will be using some jb weld sanding flat, and smearing some gasket maker onto of that before I drop the intake on.
Should have changed that heater core line while intake was off...🤔
Thank you , very informative video!
How did this present? Water in the oil or just coolant lose
Great! thanks!
What did you do for the corrosion on the head? JB Weld or Permatex?
What is the intro song for your videos? I’m sure it’s been asked before hundreds of times, love your videos man.
It's called Safe by Cushy
How long did it take you to finish the job. And what was the cost to do it
I dont like to talk about job cost publicly to protect my customers, but the job took 6 hours start to finish with having to extract that broken bolt and rectify some other issues.
Where did you get the intake from and how much money was just the parts it self abouts
backhanded cobalt drill bits ;)
You are the best............
Why would you not change that heater hose while you had the intake off?
Thanks so much!!
Great great video
What is the name or part number for the heater tube / hose under the intake manifold? I have a 01' F150 with a 5.4L V8 4x4 and can't find this info anywhere. Thanks for all your help!
Jack & Sissy look at summit racing website, under cooling and heating. They have all the hoses there
my truck has the same exact issue, around how much should i expect to have to pay at a shop?
Can you come over to my house or I’ll drive to your work place to do it on my Expedition truck. Lol
I need to get it done.
How much is the new part intake and where did you get it all at. What’s the name of the parts or is it at the Motorcraft ?
I got the replacement intake mainfold from my local napa store. I dont remember the cost off hand but it wasnt terrible from what i remember.
Thanks Mor Fab. If I was to guess it the part might be about $350. To High as $ 550. Bucks? I got a rough price for about $1,200.00 maybe - $200 less if the gag sets
Are included. So I think about another
$ 550 to $ 650 bucks for labor to do it all
Might sound about right in San Diego California here. ? I well just have to wait and save up for the time.
I thought seeing that rat or mouses bedding was kinda funny to see. Too.
How much did this cost? Seems like a significant investment for a truck with a lot of miles.
My Ford GT Mustang has a 4.6 and it cost $330 for the intake manifold and $626 for labor totaling $956 at a local shop. Just done in March 2020. Ouch!
use a left handed drill bit.
Thank u sir!!!!
Green vacuum line connects to the egr valve, and the red vacuum line connects to the fuel pressure regulator 🤔?
Yes
What is that a rat nest ? How come it not removed emmedietly?
At 10.00 what artists is that playing?the music?
How much did you charge this customer out the door I got the same issues
Wht was that third part you take off
What symptoms was this thing showing?
MY MANIFOLD GOT CHANGE AND AGAIN IS LEAKING... MMMM ANY HELP????
May I ask how much you charged for this job? I am having the same issue with my Ford f150 5.4 v8 triton. And would like to know what I might have to pay. To replace it? Not sure I want to try this for my first time haha.
That was a while ago but if i remember correctly it was around $600 parts/labor
@@MorFabIndustries thank you really appreciate it.
Meant I'm in the same situation!
What is the torque spec 18ft lbs?
That was not a knock sensor you removed it was a coolant temperature sensor
How much does a job like this cost?
Really good vid. Got a sub from me
like the video but not oem.. does Dorman brand are crap lack of water flow and no insulation box and more..
I love how you tapped that hole! If you know what I mean!! Heheh
That shit design should have been recalled
Was there coolant in the oil?
No coolant in the oil thankfully
