jcobz28 Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 I've been doing this rebuild for so long I can't seem to remember if I took any off this motor or not. The crappy Chiltons manual shows for all 4.6L N* that there is the intake manifold, a spacer, and an upper and lower gasket. This is not what I am seeing in my pile of parts. I just see a plastic injection molded intake manifold, and a single gasket that "clips" on to the bottom of the manifold. I am being paranoid and need some input. Is the manual right and do I need to tear apart my garage looking for missing phenolic spacers? Or, according to the 1 article on this site I could find that addressed this issue, it appears that maybe only the early model years used the spacers? And the 95+ don't use them? If so, then all I need is my intake and the 1 pair of gaskets.. right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let your mind be untroubled. Regards, Warren There is no means of avoiding the final collapse of a boom brought about by credit expansion. The alternative is only whether the crisis should come sooner as the result of a voluntary abandonment of further credit expansion, or later as a final and total catastrophe of the currency system involved. - Ludwig von Mises Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
