Secondly, does anyone know what torque the bolts should be at when I put it back together? Thanks '95 Contour SE 5spd Leather STOCK! 74,000 miles

Don't recall the torque, but can post after I've had a chance to check the Ford manual. Must remove and re-install bolts/studs in the proper sequence too. Very messy, most difficult part is getting nuts/bolts off of precats/exhaust system.

Otherwise the problems you incur are self deserving... 2000 SVT #674 - Check it out! Whoever coined the phrase; "If it ain't broke; don't fix it" ~ Just doesn't get it...
