4.6L engine question
George Adams 7 April 2005 16:47:27
	I was on the Crown Vic website, and there was some discussion about cracking and subsequent coolant loss from the plastic crossover pipe. The permanent fix is replacement wit a manifold that has an aluminum crossover. Some questions: 1. How frequent is this problem? Consumer reports indicates a very low percentage of failures in the engine/fuel/coolng system categories. 2. If it is frequent, is it a high mileage/hard usage kind of thing? The guys on the Crown Vic site seem to be performance oriented, and likely push their cars harder than the average driver. 3. If a crack does occur, can a temporary repair be made with epoxy/KB Weld, etc? By temporary, I mean lasting long enough to get back home from a trip, say 300 to 500 miles. 4. Does anyone know the cost of replacement and intallation of a manifold with the aluminum crossover? Thank you guys for the feedback on my first post, and thanks in advance for this one.

	It actually is fairly frequent. Mine did it around 90,000 miles I believe. I went to Ford & paid $140 for the revised intake manifold w/ the metal thermostat housing, etc. Paid not much more than that for labor. -Mike -- Melt away the Cellulite with Cellulean! http://www.MeltAwayCellulite.com/ "George Adams" <george9219@aol-dot-com.no-spam.invalid> wrote in message news:42552bdf_1@127.0.0.1...> I was on the Crown Vic website, and there was some discussion about> cracking and subsequent coolant loss from the plastic crossover pipe.> The permanent fix is replacement wit a manifold that has an aluminum> crossover.> Some questions:> 1.

	Intake manifold was replaced by local mechanic and Ford paid the bill. "Recall" item or something like that.

	Yes, it was an actual recall on 96-97 I believe... but just a TSB for 98. -Mike -- Melt away the Cellulite with Cellulean! http://www.MeltAwayCellulite.com/ "Scotter" <spam@spam.com> wrote in message news:E0n5e.44527$1H3.15687@tornado.texas.rr.com...> Intake manifold was replaced by local mechanic and Ford paid the bill.> "Recall" item or something like that.

	Typically, when these things go, is it a catastrophic failure that dumps out all your coolant and leaves you stranded, or is it more like a slow leak? Thanks, George P.S. I have a line on a 97 Grand Marquis, one owner, clean title, 54,000 miles at a good price, but it has the original manifold....that's why I'm pestering you guys with these specific questions. Thanks for your help and patience. -------------= Posted from Ugroups.com =------------- ---= Fast & Free Web Portal to Usenet Newsgroups =--- -------------= http://www.ugroups.com/ =-------------

	Mine was a rather slow leak that was detected early. I used high-temp gasket maker (the orange goopy stuff) as a temporary fix to get to the Ford dealership to get the intake manifold & then to the shop to get it installed. -Mike -- Melt away the Cellulite with Cellulean! http://www.MeltAwayCellulite.com/ "George Adams" <george9219@aol-dot-com.no-spam.invalid> wrote in message news:4256bf05$1_1@127.0.0.1...> Typically, when these things go, is it a catastrophic failure that> dumps out all your coolant and leaves you stranded, or is it more> like a slow leak?> Thanks,> George> P.S.
