You have to remove the valve covers, no way around it, try to get the
non-cork replacement gaskets , they last longer and are not as easy
overtightened
Its easier too pull the intake manifold when t-stat and tube is removed.
When re=installing, make sure you throw away the cork strips and get
Permatex "the right stuff" and be sure all the surfaces are clean and all
brown carbon residue is removed with a wire wheel
Remember, once the intake is removed , its not that much extra work to do
the head gaskets and have the heads checked for cracks(common problem) with
coolant disappearing
good luck

Last week I torqued down my lower intake manifold bolts hoping to
solve the "mysterious" coolant leak that leaves no drips anywhere.
Well a week after I have done this I am still lossing coolant.
Later on today I am going to pull the intake manifold off and examine
the the manifold area.
I have a Ford Service Manual that states I must remove the valve
covers part of the procedure. Does anyone know if this is correct or
not?
I am also going to replace the thermostat and thermostat gasket while
doing this as I am going to flush the system.
My engine is a 4.0l Pushrod .
Any input appreciated.
