Crossover manifold repair LR4

[@JG-zk4kl]

Nice video Scott. Thanks. A suggestion to make accessing the back side of the intake manifold and the rear crossover. You can remove the weatherstripping on the top of the back vent area, just above the wire loom 27. Torx screws you reference. You will see two 13 mm nuts facing you right below the weatherstripping location. Take those off and the entire center section above the intake manifold pulls off easily. It’s the fresh air intake for the cabin ducting. Gives you much more room to maneuver back there.

I want to say THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO!!

Huge thanks for posting this, about to tackle this and the front pipe this weekend!

The intake manifold is not required to come off, to install this, I've done it its not dificult, but you must lay on top the engine

[@bobbydavis1620]

really?

[@hawaiiyamat]

@@bobbydavis1620 if you have a non-supercharged engine its not that difficult. the wiring loom must be unbolted and pushed out of the way first. maybe around an hour or so

[@hawaiiyamat]

@@bobbydavis1620 also you will be working basically blind.

Thank you very much for posting this very useful and detailed video!

Excellent video...Thank you...

@scott schmerge was there anything tricky about reconnecting the fuel lines? i.e. any pressurization procedures? Any parts or seals that needed to be replaced? Did everything go back together without throwing codes? Think I have the same issue and about to embark on pulling the manifold off to inspect but have never worked with the fuel lines on these vehicles. Thanks!

Do you know the part number for the rear crossover valve?

Hey Scott how long it took you to complete the job ?

[@scottschmerge345]

It’s about 1.5-2 hours. It took me about 3 as I had no reference to look at and just had to figure it out. I could probably do it in an hour now, having done it once

[@capsman4747]

I'm an old school mechanic and it took me 2.5 days. But I replaced t-stat, w/p, both crossover pipes, Pcv valves, and flushed system too. Spent almost $600 on parts and fluids and mostly aftermarket. Really helpful video Scott, Thanks

Excellent video for the job. Just ordered a replacement for my 2011 LR4. Going the “better safe than sorry” route. I’m assuming the cooling system needs to be bled once the job is complete. Is that right?

[@olaomishore]

Hello Scott, what state are you located in? Thanks

[@troykindall349]

Hey Scott! What is the torque spec for the inlet manifold bolts?

[@alisuta2001]

Did you ever get the torque info?

[@alisuta2001]

Do you happen to know the bolts torque spec for the intake manifold at 2012 LR4 5.0L?

[@iLaMans]

@@alisuta2001 Did you happen to find the torque specs? If those are found can they be shared, or a reference to find these it would be super helpful. Thank you all!

[@alisuta2001]

@@iLaMans I did not, I even asked a Land Rover dealership next to me and they said they don't know. What I did was reverse engineering on final torque. While the bolts where still tighten by factory, I checked the torque by slowly tightening the bolts more and I find out that the final torque was 17 ft lb . When you put the intake manifold back, start tightening the bolts by hand and then tighten them in crisscross pattern, go 5 ft lb and 11 ft lb then final 17 ft lb. It worked for me
