Tech Question - Inlet manifold strip down.

[warrenpenalver]

Going to do this sometime the next couple of weeks to replace the gaskets.

How long should it take roughly??

Any knacks or tricks i need to know or is it as simple as the manual claims by just unbolting everything??

[richyx]

simple mate

boost hoses off
disconnect wiring
either disconnect fuel lines or take rail and injectors out complete
undo bracket on engine mount if it has one goes to throttle body
undo plenum cover bolts and remove plenum
undo 4 nuts on underside of inlet then remove top bolts

[warrenpenalver]

will i need new seals for the injectors then??

[richyx]

no mate

[warrenpenalver]

ahh ok easy peasy then!!

[warrenpenalver]

the underside nuts are easy enough to reach??

[richyx]

yes once the plenum cover is off, couple can be a pain becuae of kidney box and dipstick tube but not to bad

[warrenpenalver]

ahh that be why the manual says to unbolt dipstick tube and move it out the way.
