managed to get the inlet manifold off with great difficulty to find oil residue allover the top of the heads,the bolts on the manifold were not done up that tight,could this cause this problem and if so i must of been loosing boost pressure from this?[IMG]http[/IMG]also there was a lot of oil gunk around these pipes[IMG][/IMG]also now i have the manifold off is it ok to take the injectors off ,will they go back on ok or will i need new parts(washers seals o rings)[IMG][/IMG]

thanks matt

 

sorry this is the right picture[IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG]

 

as long as you are careful when removing the injectors the Oring should be okay. Large screwdriver under the plug end and careful release the injector or moles grips - but difficult not to mark the injectors with mole grips.

if manifold was loose then yes you would have lost boost etc..

oil around the pipes is pretty normal as they are the crank breather pipes.

doesn't look that grubby really.

that picture was when i had cleaned them ,they were real bad and the surounding area,nothing a good bit a brake cleaner wont sort out,have got most of the paint off the manifold but some is really stuck on ,will have another go at it before the big spray
