Been awhile since I've been here so here goes. My 08 f150 4.6l. I recently had a spark plug blow out while replacing the plugs I noticed coolant in the drivers side spark plug holes. I purchased the Doorman intake. Has anyone had any issues installing these. Or is there any alterations that have to be made to any hoses or other hook ups.
You'll need right and left intake gaskets and thermostat and oring. Make sure you drain cooling system so as not to get coolant into cylinders. You'll need 7, 8, 10, 13mm sockets and a swivel, 1/2 rachet for belt, 1 1/16" wrench for EGR tube, 5/8" fuel line disconnect tool, torque wrench.
The only thing left to remove is the fuel rail. Had to run to Harbor freight and get a disconnect tool. I noticed that on the original intake on the crossover tube it has a hose barb that seems to be pressed in on the Doorman one there is a threaded port for it.
Removed intake and found that the sealing surface around ports for the crossover tube were pitted pretty deep. Anyone encounter this during their swap.
