Re: 4.0 SOHC fan clutch removal
I put a new aftermarket one on my 03 (standard right hand thread) and it stays engaged for a while after startup. I don't think the oem clutches do that but they cost more. I've worked on a 2008 and...

Re: Intake manifold missing hose
The hose on 2 goes on port 1. Port 2 should have a short 90 degree hose that connects several 1/8" plastic lines.

Re: Intake manifold missing hose
The one at the rear is for the brake booster. The one in the middle on the driver side is the main vacuum port that several things branch off of.

There is no sensor, just low and high pressure switches. Find your leak.

oil seap/leak from harmonic balancer shaft?

Re: oil seap/leak from harmonic balancer shaft?
The seal is in the front cover... the balancer slides through it. Buy a cheap seal puller at any auto parts store. Be sure to oil the lip of the seal before installing the balancer.

Re: oil seap/leak from harmonic balancer shaft?
The harmonic balancer is on the front end of the crankshaft. I've never seen a pulley leak oil. If the front seal is leaking, pull the balancer and put a new seal in. It's a very easy repair.

Re: Front Engine Repair
Buy an all aluminum T housing on ebay. It cost more but you'll never have that problem again. The plastic ones are unreliable.

Re: Pinion shaft lock-bolt
The 8.8 doesn't have a "pumpkin"(third member) it has a differential cover. Give the bolt a solid smack on the head with a big hammer then tighten it slightly before loosening.

Trace the wire from the compressor clutch to see if it's shorting or is broken.

Re: best way to assemble top end?
The second method. Set the heads in place, add gaskets and lower intake, torque the lower intake and heads. They're trying to prevent a leak or gasket failure at the lower intake.

It's so simple, just take it off and stick the new one on. They don't use a gasket, they have an o-ring that stays in place and is reusable. If you buy a new valve cover the o-ring comes installed....

NEVER let an oil change place do anything but change the oil. It's best to change your own oil and it's quick and simple with a Fumoto drain valve and the proper motorcraft filter socket.
