exhaust manifold

Hi my name is Joel, I am a new member of this forum and just purchase a used 1996 Explorer 5.0 AWD. It has low miles for the year, 105,000, and is in extreamly good condition. My problem with the Explorer is when I start it it has a slight ticking noise that goes away when the car warms up, but...

Hello all! This is my first post and I should have joined so much sooner! I love the site and the people on here help each other so much. Wish I worked with people moreand like that lol. Anyways on to the topic: For starters: I have a 1996 Explorer XLT 4.0 v6 (I believe the OHV? Correct me if...

Hey folks, I am working on a project for the ol' X and am in need of precise measurements for the exhaust manifold. This is for the V8 manifold. What I need 1) Distance between manifold studs. Center to Center across the top and from upper to lower. 2) Distance from the flat face that...

So, I have searched the forums quite a bit and found the answer to my question eluded to but not directly answered so I figured I would ask it point blank before I ordered a replacement. Will the 98+ cast iron exhaust manifolds work as a direct replacement on a 97 with a 5.0, and GTP heads? I...

My head gaskets failed on my 1996 OHV 4.0 (big white smoke cloud from the exhaust 2-3 miles from my driveway, and there was the obvious milkshake on the oil cap). I got her home, shut her down, and ordered a new water pump, t-stat and complete gasket set from Rock Auto. I had been losing...

My 2000 4.0 OHV has a leak in the EGR Valve Tube, it has been welded once, so repair is probably not a good option. I had a garage look at it, they are recommending replacing the LH Manifold, the tube, the EGR Valve, because everything is so fused together. One manifold stud is broken, they fear...

Ok so I had a few beers and was thinking, I want to install my brand new pacesetter headers and y pipe, plus delete the cats with another pipe. I broke 1 bolt in my head and got another one out, I know how they're prone to breakage. What if I cut the heads off the bolts, lube up the...

Over the summer, I bought a 1997 Mercury Mountaineer 5.0 AWD that looks brand new with 53,000 miles. It was not driven a lot and garage kept since new. After the test drive, a trip to a mechanic, and some research here, I figured that I had the typical 5.0 exhaust manifold crack. At the...

I'm a new Mountaineer owner. My father-in-law just gave me his hand-me-down 1998 awd Mountaineer. Living in metro Atlanta, I have to pass an emissions inspection and have an exhaust manifold leak. It is leaking from the header connecting cylinders 5 and 7. I think my notation is correct...

Newbie here, found this forum online for a search for help with a major problem with my Explorer's 4.0 engine. A couple of years ago, I was told that the exhaust manifold was leaking and I was advised to get some sealant to put on the leak which was right at the manifold on the drivers side...
