The mechanic I took it to said the manifold was cracked & that Lincoln had problems with these manifolds cracking .

Yes - just saw a plastic one cracked. Wasn't my job but looking at the crack it didn't look like any patching was going to last well. Big buck item too dammit!

Sure is expensive. 250.00 for the manifold, plus labor of about 300.00. Will also have the water hose's replaced & belt. Looking at about 700.00 all togather.

Intake manifold cracks are common. I believe Dorman manufactures an aftermarket replacement for this engine because it is so common. Plastic is a terrible choice of manufacturing material for an intake manifold.
