FORD PERFORMANCE CRATE ENGINE LIMITED WARRANTY
Ford Performance warrants for 24 months or 24,000 miles / 40,000 kilometres, whichever occurs first subsequent to the original retail purchase, that it will repair or replace, at its option, any Ford Performance engine part that, after inspection, is found to have failed due to a defect in factory supplied material or workmanship.

STEP 2: Check port and gasket alignment to intake manifold and cylinder head. Some aftermarket intake
manifolds do not match Ford Performance cylinder heads. Position the gasket on the manifold where the locating tabs (beneath the water cross over holes) will contact the head gaskets.
STEP 3: Inspect intake manifold for debris, and make sure it’s clean. Check all threaded holes and tap deeper if
necessary. Check the carburetor/throttle body gasket alignment. Also look at the gasket surfaces for nicks and damage, raised surfaces on the flanges can prevent sealing. Minor raised imperfections can be repaired by wrapping a sheet of 320 grit wet/dry sandpaper around a flat block and lightly sanding the surface (do not be too aggressive as this will cause the surface to become uneven). If installing a used intake manifold it is not recommended to dry blast it to clean it. The media will become imbedded and eventually fall out with heat cycling of the engine. If the manifold is being transferred from a “failed” engine, be sure to inspect all passages for any debris that may have been lodged from the previous engine.

STEP 4: Test fit the carburetor/throttle body and actuate the linkage. Check to make sure the throttle blades
do not contact the manifold.

STEP 5: Grade 8 bolts are recommended for intake manifold installation. Grade 8 bolts are identified by (6)
hash marks on the head of the bolt. The torque specs supplied are for grade 8 fasteners.
STEP 6: A pre-assembly mock up is required to check the proper fit of the intake manifold to the long block
assembly.
Place the intake manifold on the long block without the intake manifold gaskets  The gap at the end rails needs to be .040” minimum. This check insures that the manifold will not “bottom
out” on the end rails of the block. If it bottoms out, there is insufficient clamp load between the intake manifold and cylinder head, and it’s likely that oil will be sucked into the intake runners.
If the gap is less than .040” the end rails of the manifold will need to be machined. This can be
checked with a scale or feeler gauges.

STEP 7: The minimum thread engagement required for the intake manifold bolts is .625” or 5/8”.
Too little thread engagement can damage threads and strip out.  Thread engagement must be checked on an individual basis due to the variety of intake manifolds
available.
Measure thread engagement from intake manifold to bottom of flat washer.
STEP 8: Apply surface cleaner to a lint free cloth or paper towel, clean all gasket surfaces, manifold and block
end rails.
