Exhaust Manifold: Description and Operation
Exhaust System
The exhaust system will vary by model, wheelbase and engine options.
Torque values must be used as specified during reassembly to make sure of correct retention of the exhaust components.
When removing a catalytic converter, support the catalytic converter near the rear outlet. Use caution removing the catalytic converter. Make sure not
to damage the manifold output flare, the converter inlet flare or the studs.
During installation, clean the mating surfaces of the manifold outlet flare and the catalytic converter inlet flare. Support the catalytic converter near the
rear outlet. Make sure not to damage the manifold outlet flare, the converter inlet flare or the studs. To correctly seat the converter, alternately tighten
the exhaust manifold-to-catalytic converter nuts to specification.
To ease removal and installation of the exhaust components, lubricate the insulators using Silicone Lubricant F5AZ-19553-AA (Aerosol) or equivalent
meeting Ford specification ESR-Ml3P4-A.
