After spending lunch with a certain Mr Wallis, i am now going to remove my inlet manifold, for various reasons.

Am i correct in thinking there are 4 bolts either side, plus the fuel to disconnect?

Anything else?

Steven

 

Then there is all the wirering,crankcase breatherhose,waterhoses to trottlebody.

Skassa

 

I guess that it might help to disconnect the engine electrical loom and the ignition system.

 

Ok disconnect wiring to injectors, etc

Disconnect breathers.

Anything else?

Moray, i will take copious notes on how to put it back together

Steven

 

And don't attempt to put it back together after someone else has taken it off and left you in the lurch a la me!?!?!

but it started first time yesterday

 

 

LOL...

 

Steven,

You don´t need to disconnect the plugs to the injectors(they come off with the manifold).

easy to disconnect it when it´s out

Skassa

 

it is you dumb ******..

Undo the bolts.. lift.. if it doesnt come off then find out why not... fuel rails.. injector connectors.. (label them)
tb water supply, vacumn to brake servo.. throttle cable..

tps wire iscv wire..

and dont forget masking tape

 

cheers skassa, can see loads of different coloured cable ties being used to remind me what goes where

 

cheers for reminder about the masking tape, knew you would not forget

no need to be offensith, and cawl me dum ****** isna?

Figured that would be your suggested approach

 

you pissed

 

It´s really easy

All the plugs will be in the right place ,when it´s put back together

Skassa

 

could be

 

P20SPD,

Re "Moray, i will take copious notes on how to put it back together"

LOL Good idea. Will help when you have to take it off again to find your 7mm socket!

If I had taken notes when I last took my inlet manifold off I might have managed to refit it the right way around!

 

You never know, that could be one of my faults in refitting

 

ahh so that's what the chunk of ally davids bought is for !

I know your game

Andy

 

No no no no, that billet is for Davids Mahoosive new throttle body, not mine.

Now you mention it, could possible

Naaahhhh....

 

the seed is planted <evil grin>

Andy

 

Masking tape is to adapt to fit four weber carbs yes??



Simon

 

 

No going back now, gaskets between inlet and heads are ninjad, minor split near the turbo on the inlet pipe, so what next..????
