Installation Ford Taurus IV

Installation

  1. To install, reverse removal procedure. Tighten all bolts to specification. See «TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS»(ref-97390-S29067385472001050300000) .
  2. When installing fuel lines, install NEW "O" rings on fuel lines. Use only specified Brown fuel resistant "O" rings. Lightly coat "O" rings with clean engine oil before installing. Clean fittings and replace garter spring (if necessary).
  3. Adjust all control cables and fluid levels. Refill cooling system. Evacuate and recharge A/C system.
