exhaust manifold
« on: 16 April 2009, 23:16:56 »

Evening Guys
                     Is it possible to change the exhaust manifold on the passage side to my 1998 25 v6 with engine in suit, i have heard its possible but hard due to lack of space, the reason is its started to blow mostly when cold, checked second injection rubber connections to main pipe, all seem ok  :-? :-?
  Its given the same sound as one of the rubber connection has come of, lack of speed when cold as well  :-/ :-/

Iwouldn't do it in your suit mate!  ;D ;D ;D ;D If you don't do it in situ it's not too bad a job but just very expensive in parts! I think next time I would try jacking the engine up as said above :y

Is it definately the gasket between the manifold and the head or is it the one between the manifold and the downpipe (a much easier a job).

Like you say it is a bugger to get too but it is possible to remove it in situe. The only thing you need to move is the power steering pump to give you more space.

We did this on the my 3.0 a week ago. Once we removed the power steering pump we were able to get in and remove it, just expect to loose a little skin and have the plasters near by  ;D
