Hello, I recently got a 2003 F150 5.4 with 180K. It needs a passenger side manifold (rot hole in it). Does anyone have tips to do this without anything breaking? It is SUPER crusty and I'm honestly scared. I am very well versed in these trucks but have never done a manifold before. I have an oxy acetylene torch to cut the bolts out if needed. So, what manifold and studs should I get and what tips do any of you guys have and how hard is this job?
I'm new to the forums and knew someone could help. Thanks.

 

Watch Eric O. of SMA master these.... he's got some great tips.
