Hi all, new here and I have a problem I hope someone can help me with. I replaced the IMRC actuator on a 2008 F150 5.4 and in the process removed the linkage rods from the intake also without noting their position on the runners. They can go on in 4 different orientations where they attach to the runners as far as how the runner is spun. Make sense? Anyway, I need to know what position the runner should be in when I attach the linkage to them. If anyone has their intake off with the IMRC stuff still attached, it would be great if you could take some pics of the runners for me. I need to know what position the runners are in when connected and now power. Basically resting position when IMRC linkage is attached.
Thank you.

I took this picture because it was sitting outside the mechanic shop that's next to my dad's cabinet shop.
Assuming it hasn't been messed with, but I can't guarantee maybe the image will help you

Thanks for the reply needs. That helps with one part of my problem. The linkage is attached to the little levers on the end of the runners. Those have a square hole attaching to the runner "blades". I removed these not noting the position of the blades which spin 360 when not attached. If you could pull the intake off and flip it over you will be able to see the blades. If you could then get a pic of the blades that give me all I need to fix this. If not its ok. Thanks.
