ENGINE ASSEMBLY 121 With the gaskets in place, install the covers on the cylinder heads. Secure them with their 1/4-20 bolts and lock washers. Don't overtighten the bolts as the only thing you'll succeed in doing is bending the valve-cover flanges, increasing the likelihood of an oil leak. Gradually tighten the bolts to compress the cork gasket, then torque the bolts 3-5 ft.lbs. Retorque the bolts a few times to ensure the gasket is fully relaxed, otherwise your engine will soon be leaking oil from this area. Exhaust Manifolds-Depending on your particular engine, thin sheet-metal or composition exhaust-manifold gaskets will be in your gasket set. The sheet-metal gasket doubles as a spark-plug shield. On the right side, it is also the backhalf of the carburetor heat baffle. Your engine was not originally equipped with exhaust-manifold gaskets if your gasket set includes the composition type. Composition gaskets are a sandwich of sheet metal and asbestos. The metal side goes against the manifold and is marked MANIFOLD SIDE. I recommendnot using this gasket unless your manifold or head mating surfaces are not in the best of condition-warped or pitted. However, if one of the surfaces is not in the best of condition the composition-type gasket will help seal. To install your manifolds without gaskets, first apply graphite grease to the manifold mating surfaces, or gasket adhesive if you are using gaskets-either type. Using a .couple of bolts, loose-assemble the manifolds to the heads, then your hands will be free to run in the rest of the bolts. If your engine was so equipped, install the long bolts with the studs protruding from their heads beside the center two exhaust outlets. They also secure the engine lifting plates which will soon come in handv. and the hot-air shroud for the carburetor. It mounts on top of the nuts which secure the right-side lifting plate. Tighten and tor$e the manifolh bolts from the center outward. Torque 351C and 351M/400 bolts 18-24 ft.lbs. and 4291460 bolts 28-33 ft. Ibs. Install the lifting plates and carburetor hot-air shroud now. Install the Thermostat and Its Housing- This is a good opportunity, and your last one, to make sure the water-pump by-pass orifice plate is in place in your 351C befoie installing your thermostat and its housing. The orifice plate meters how much coolant is recirculated through the engine rather than going to the radiator. If it isn't in place, the recirculatingcoolant will not be restricted and less coolant will A popular item at the scrap yard-right exhaust manifolds. Inspect yours closely for cracks.

I prefer not using a gasket between the manifold and head, but if you insist on installing those in your gasket set, put the metal side against the manifold, not the head. pass through the radiator to be cooled. The result: an overheating engine. SO .make sure your 351C has this restriction. On the other engines, the restsictor is built in, so you don't have to worry about it. When installing your thermostat in the block, or in the intake manifold in the case of 4291460 engines-they have wet manifolds-make sure you have it pointed in the sight direction. One end should indicate TOWARD ENGINE. Install this end down in the engine block or intake manifold. Now you're ready for the housing. Check it for excessive rust if it's the steel type used on 351C and 351M/400 engines. These parts literally go away if water is used for coolant. Replace it if it's pitted badly. To finish installing the thermostat and housing, seal the gasket to Installing 351 C heater-hose inlet tube. Old one was badly rusted so I removed it by wrenching it outwith Vise-Grip pliers. DO the same if yours is bad. the blocklmanifold. Apply sealer to the housing and install it on the blocklmanifold. Torque the bolts 12-1 5 ft.lbs. MISCELLANEOUS HARDWARE Vacuum Fittings-Intake manifolds are equipped with one or more vacuum fittings to supply various accessories and emission-related devices with a vacuum source. Due to their wide variances and the resulting complexities involved in covering them, you'll just have to remember how and where yours are installed and used. Sending Units-Two engine sending units are used: oil pressure and water temperature. The oil-pressure sender threads into the engine block behind the intake manifold.

Water-temperature sending units install immediately below the thermostat in 351 C and 351M/400 engines, and in the intake manifold of 4291460s. Install yours with sealer on the threads. Fuel Pump-Put the fuel-pump gasket on the pump with sealer. Run a bead ofsealer around the engine side of the gasket too. Prelube the pump actuating arm with moly, then install it. How you install the pump depends on whether your engine is a 351C, 351M1400, or a 4291460. The 351C and 351M/400 has a vertical bolt ' pattern with a bolt at the top and a stud and nut at the bottom.
