I need help removing the intake manifold gasket on my 2000 ford explorer xlt 5.0L V8?
Does anyone know how to remove an intake manifold gasket on a 2000 ford explorer xlt 5.0L V8? I'm leaking fluid from inside and i have no idea how to remove it properly as I do not want to damage anything. I have searchers the internet and YouTube and have yet to find a proper guide. Would anyone be able to give a detailed guide or have a link to a guide?
Conventional wisdom suggests that you remove the intake manifold, remove the old gasket/material, make sure that the mating surfaces are clean, put on the new gasket and then re-install the intake manifold, minding the bolt sequence/torque. Fundamentally it's a pretty basic idea. If you aren't mechanically inclined and/or if you have to ask someone how to do it, it's probably best if you take the vehicle to a mechanic.

- Vacuum leak between carburetor and intake manifold? I have a 1966 ford f100 with a 390. After taking off the carb to clean it, I noticed a rough idle and fuel leaking from between the carburetor and intake manifold. So I replaced the gasket with a gasket specifically for Holley carburetors, but that didn't stop the leak. Any ideas? Would there be any reason the manifold or bottom of the carb would need to be resurfaced? Is sealant ever used?
- Rubber hose at intake manifold? I have a Ford Contour and need to know what and where the soft rubber hose at the intake manifold is. I just need to know what it is and where I can go buy one. I want to order it and install it as soon as possible. Please don't suggest asking a mechanic or auto store.
