GOD BLESS... Great video, much appreciated!!! I have the exact same issue right now this day, 10/03/2024, I see exactly what I need to do but what part did you grind down and with what tool? Working on a 2010 Ford Expedition EL King Ranch 5.4 v8... I already have the 2 gaskets, changed the thermostat about 3 mths ago, should I change it again? Thanks a bunch...
@@joseph_johnson9266 I wouldn’t mess with the thermostat if you just recently did it. You just trimming the corner of the crossover tube so it can slide out from j see the intake. I just used my side cutter with a cut off wheel.
I believe i have a leak in the same spot. going to attempt this today, a new gasket just arrived in the mail. i think the worst part of the whole job is blowing out the coolant from the spark plug wells 😂
cut the corner. I didn't. did not know did one side only. thought there was a pipe in left side sticking down your videos are fantastic 10/10
Taking that little bit of plastic out saves a whole lot of time removing the intake, nicely done 👍😁
metal
corner
This is awesome. Can you please explain a bit more the purpose of the break clean.

i feel like i've seen this somewhere? 😁
Is it the same for 2014 expedition
What type of grease? I did all but can’t get pipe back under manifold area.
The pin from manifold keeps popping out and can’t get the crossover pipe back in, so frustrating
@@meganchristmas8752 any type of grease
Wondering if this will work on 2v?
@@jasonschmidt6988 good question, I’d have to look
I OVER TORQUED NOT ENOUGH TO CRACK THE MANIFOLD...😢 NOW ITS REDO TIME..WISHED ID WATCH THIS SOONER..GRINDING CORNER WORKS JUST FINE..
Awesome!!!!!!
