E 150 Van V8-351 5.8L VIN G 2-bbl (1984)
FIGURE 1
The Ford exhaust system as shown in Figure 1, provides the correct routing and exhaust gas flow capacity for proper heat protection and engine
performance. Non-Ford mufflers and exhaust pipes could be less durable than Ford components. Some mufflers may also restrict exhaust gas flow, and
therefore, reduce engine performance or cause overheatng.
FIGURE 3
Inspect the exhaust system for leaks or ruptures. FOR 5.8L ONLY, it may be necessary to remove the heat shields as shown in Figure 3. Inspect the
muffler outer wrapper lock seam for separation. If any such problems are found, notify the customer and request permission to repair the problem, at the
customer's expense. Note any such problems and the customer's reaction to your repair request on your internal repair order form and retain in your
records.
If a non-Ford exhaust system or exhaust components is noted on the unit, inform the customer of the potential for durability reduction, exhaust flow
restriction, or overheating as indicated above. Note any such discrepancy and the customer's reaction on your internal repair order form and retain in
your records.
