Intake Manifold Gasket Replacement

Model: Ford Focus MK 2, Focus 2 - Years 2004-2011
Part: Engine

The intake manifold gaskets are actually o-ring seals applied inside specific grooves made at the ends of the intake manifold itself, which must then be inserted and locked onto the cylinder head; once the old gaskets are removed, clean the seats thoroughly and apply the new gaskets (it is also recommended to lightly lubricate them with clean oil to facilitate fitting); ensure there are no dirt residues in the cylinder head seats and apply the manifold, pressing it until the ports are seated; then position the rocker cover and tighten the fixing bolts.

Installation of Upgraded Intercooler Radiator with Pipes

Lift the vehicle on suitable axle stands, remove the front wheels, and then the front bumper and grille. Proceed to remove the front headlights; drain the coolant, remove the intercooler radiator and the hoses connecting it to the intake system. Position the new intercooler radiator in the grille, temporarily securing it with cable ties, and mark with a marker the part of the metal that needs to be removed to allow the new hoses to pass through. Cut the marked portion of metal and apply a gasket to the edge. Remove the inner cover of the bumper and position it near the radiator to identify any interfering parts to eliminate: again, apply a gasket to the edge of the cut. Create brackets for securing the new radiator and proceed with the installation of the connecting pipes from the radiator to the intake, shaping and connecting them appropriately. Finally, reassemble the bumper, headlights, and grille.
