I need help with installing a new intake which is a dorman on a 4.6 1998 mustang GT because the old intake was cracked whenever I tighten the bolts down in sequence the intake is not lining up properly for the injection ports so I could only imagine how the ports on the bottom of the intake are not lining up properly, what
should I do to fix this? The intake is for a 98 GT non pi and I’m pretty sure my heads are non pi so what could I possibly be doing wrong? The intake comes with the gaskets pre installed so I’m assuming there is no need for rtv or silicone of any kind
Or maybe go to a boneyard and get lucky. Or even upgrade to something niftier like a Trick Flow, but that might need some programmin'...
But for that important a part, I'm goin' new OEM all the way. For sure, though, Dorman is your absolute last line of choice on parts, and even then they probably aren't the right call because they *just don't fit/work right*. Never buyin' them again, for my part.
I hope that helps, even if it delays you, but it's really the right call. And welcome to the forums!
