CJRH Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Hi all, I’m struggling to get the inlet manifold off my series 2a petrol engine. I need to take it off to drill and tap the blanked off brake vacuum as I’m nearly finished with my front disc brake conversion. I’ve removed the 2 nuts at the top, the 2 bolts underneath that go through the inlet manifold and the 2 bolts that have the wedge things on to hold the inlet and exhaust manifold on. I’ve also undone the 4 nuts on the studs that go through to the exhaust manifold (below where the carb sits). Is that all of the bolts as the inlet manifold will not move? I do not want to go near the exhaust manifold nuts / bolts as I know they will shear off……… Cheers Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can't get it off by itself, you may have to take the exhaust manifold off with it. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJRH Posted July 22, 2008 Author Share Posted July 22, 2008 Hi Mike, I managed to get it off, I had to take out the 4 studs that bolt the inlet to exhaust manifold which were a real pain to get out..... Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
