Okay so i've got my upper intake manifold off, valve cover off,
first question do i have to take the lower intake manifold off too?
Its a 1994 f150 5.0
i'm assuming i do have to take it off, next if i just loosen the rocker bolts a little and pivot them to take out the push rods and label them will i have to adjust the valves at all


heck i am a beginner tech. , infact i'm still going to school now (started about a month ago) so i'm hoping one of you experienced guys can help me out here

i have done a head gasket once before on a vw jetta and evrything came out fine this is just a hole different kind of motor

any help is greatly appreciated

 

Yes the lower has to come off. The rockers are torque down, no special adjustments.

 

so I went to take the lower intake off and the to bolts on the back closest to the firewall/bulkhead snapped off, so I got pissed put it back together and said forget it I'll run it till it dies then just drop a crate motor in it


when you buy a crate motor does it come with that or will i have to take that off my motor and put it on the new one

 

A crate motor is a longblock, you need your externals.

 

That's a pain, if you wanted to fix it, and there is any bolt left to get hold of, craftsman makes something that removes bolts, screws etc. I was reluctant at first, they sounded kind of gimmicky but they actually work as long as you push pretty good, they will bite down, even on the shoulder or threaded portion of what is left of a bolt. If you do keep going remember to soak them lifters in oil overnight!
