Hi there,
I am about to go thru this whole procedure this weekend. I have already purchased and received the Dorman replacement kit. From all the reserch that I have done ( and it's been a lot) There is no problem with using the "O" rings that are already installed in the replacement manifold. 2 things that are a must to remember ---- you have got to completely remove any residue from the old gasket and have the surface of the block very clean and it is very important to follow the torque sequence and apply the proper amount of torque. USE A TORQUE WRENCH DO NOT GUESS ON THIS ! Take your time with this project and good luck.

On a 1964 Lincoln it should be attached to the engine on the drivers side underneath the exhaust manifold.
On a 1989 Lincoln Town Car , 5.0 L / 302 cubic inch V8 engine : Follow the TOP radiator hose from the radiator to the front of the engine intake manifold . The engine coolant thermostat is located in the front of the intake manifold
It's supposed to do that.
The answer is yes. A crack in a manifold is much worse than just the oil leak. Manifold cracks are generally caused by severe overheating or improper assembly of parts. A crack in a manifold can cause oil to leak but the oil leak is inconsequential as the crack renders the engine unusable safely, without replacing the manifold. Running an engine with a cracked manifold is very bad for the rest of the engine and your own safety.
it should be as they are both the same engine
On a 2004 Lincoln LS ( 3.0L V6 and 3.9L V8 engines ) Each of the engines has ( 2 ) exhaust manifolds They are located on each side of the engine , on the sides of the cylinder heads ( there is an exhaust manifold gasket , then the manifold , and they have a heat shield over the manifold ) Your vehicle exhaust system connects to the manifolds
NO....JUST SHUT THE ENGINE OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!
lo
The intake manifold is where the air and fuel mix and enter the engine. The exhaust manifold is where unspent gas and air exit the engine. In other words the intake manifold is where the engine breathes in and the exhaust manifold is how the engine exhales out.
It will bolt up, but the throttle on an'02 is mechanical and the throttle on the '05 is electronic, the intake manifold is different and I believe the heads are different. The '02 PCM will not work with the '05 engine.
If it has the 4.3 ltr engine, the intake manifold is notorious for leaking at the back of the engine where you cannot see it. Try using a mirror at the rear of the intake manifold and look for wetness. Replacing the gaskey is the best fix.
On a 1990 Lincoln Town Car ( 302 cubic inch / 5.0L V8 engine ) Follow the top radiator hose to the front of the intake manifold on the top of the engine . Where the radiator hose connects to the water outlet . The engine cooling thermostat is INSIDE the housing
