Leak found

[ricky]

A few days ago I posted about a coolant loss that I could not find. Well [@#$^&"] I found it. With a half day off work today I went looking hoping for a heater hose pin hole but found the leak at the water outlet that is on top of the block under everything. The intake pipes, the fuel rail, the intake manifold, well maybe not everthing but close enough for me. This is probably why I couldn't find because all the coolant was boiling off when stopped. Question: What gaskets will I need to order in advance and have on hand when I begin the repair? If it is any help the water outlet tube in my ford service manual as part #8C155 THANKS

The intake gaskets are reuseable. Just clean them off, then hit them with a shot of black spray paint and reinstall when they are still tacky. Helps to keep things sealed up.

There is a small O rings on the the two water pump to head pipes. You should be able to just reuse them and use some silicone sealant. Doesn't take much silicone so don't goob it on.

Take off the throttle body and the 90 degree to surge tank fitting as one piece to get the room you need.
