The manifold has no way of overheating, it's a piece of metal if its glowing red then the exhaust may be plugged up, or the engine timing is retarded, or you have an ignition misfire. Everyone should have a manual for their vehicle (parts store or dealer), and a local library should have professional shop manuals available in the REFERENCE section for free.
No you do not, must leave them in are it will over heat.
If you mean on the exhaust manifold, penetrating oil and gently tapping around rod and on ends . Over & over with oil !!
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
Yes....as long as you have a tapped hole in the manifold. It would show a little lower temp than the one in the head.....simply due to location. But it will still give you an accurate enough temp to know if the engine starts to over heat.
Back side of the engine, below the exhaust manifold. It is protected by a silver heat shieldBack side of the engine, below the exhaust manifold. It is protected by a silver heat shield
The heat shield on the engine is located on the front of the engine over the exhaust manifold. It is on top of the engine just behind the radiator.

A heat riser is a duct that allows heat to rise up from the exhaust manifold. It's purpose is to warm the air being brought into the intake manifold preventing the freezing of moisture, that might otherwise cause the engine to stop running or run properly.
I've done this. No. Remove the air breather assembly to gain access to exhaust manifold. Disconnect O2 sensor that runs through heat shield. Remove heat shield by removing 5 nuts. Disconnect catalytic converter from manifold by removing five nuts. Remove the head to manifold nuts. Remove manifold. With the right tools and a bit of luck 1 hour.
it's in the down pipe coming from your exhaust manifold. you will have to remove the heat shield from the exhaust manifold to access it
Common problems for cars in this era. It is called heat soak. Caused by the heat from the headers/exhaust manifold overheating the starter. You can do a few things: Tape your headers. Install a sheild. Replace the starter with an aftermarket starter designed for high heat situations. Good luck!
probably at the front of the engine underneath the exhaust manifold. Remove the heat shield on the exhaust manifold and you should be able to see it underneath.
