    Have not taken a good look yet, I can hear the leak and see a missing nut so I don't know if anything is there to grip yet (nothing showing through the manifold). It's a 5.4 engine.
    The new models are using the ecoboost which I would like to have - more power for towing. I also read that Ford may be putting a diesel in them in the next couple years.

    My priority at the moment is to see drawings for the sunroof assembly. Second priority is the disassembly of the dash. I am not in a rush to fix the manifold, I can live with the leak for now.

    The 5.4's will usually leave about 6mm (1/4") of the stud sticking out above the cylinder head surface..What I do is thread an 8mm nut onto the protruding stud,& either braze or tack (if you have access) that nut to the stud.It won't hurt the head IF your careful.The stud will spin right out.Haven't lost one yet. The reason why I asked the engine size was you mentioned you serviced the "timing belt"...5.4 is a timing chain model.
    P.S...the manifold will likely be cracked too.

    i have never seen that the manuals were available on c/d but i probably would buy one if i knew where to look, sometimes you just need the right words, and i can understand not wanting to pay over $100 an hr. for labor and end up with some other problem, (they fixed this but broke that)

    Sorry I meant the serpentine belt was what I had to change - not a big job.

    Good idea about tacking a nut to the stud, I can try and do that first, also the heat might help to loosen it. That will be a job for when the weather warms up. I hope the manifold isn't cracked, that was my big fear but I can't see any crack.

    That would be very generous of you and very much appreciated. I surely would not abuse the privilege.
    Thanks.
    (I assume you must be a mechanic??)
