Howdy all....Ill begin by saying my v6 is smoking like a trooper as oil is dripping out the cams badly now. I have took of the plentum before so I know that I am half way there but I need to take the inlet manifold off so any tips help or advice will be gratefully appreciated...some body suggested taking one of the fuses out before de pressurising the fuel line

[tigers_gonads]

Never bothered de pressurising tbh, I just undo the 17 and 19 mm nuts on the fuel rail.
Remove the vacuum pipe off the fuel regulator and get on with it 

You will get some petrol spillage so a few rags at the ready and away you go 
JUST MAKE SURE THE ENGINE IS COOL FIRST

Cam cover bolts are 8Nm

I was about to observe that no-one sells torque wrenches going as low as 8Nm, but I see Machine Mart sell a 1/4" electronic torque wrench going from 3-30Nm. It costs £78, bit pricey for me I trust all you experts use them all the time.

I have 2 torque wrenches that do 8Nm ..   a Sealey 2-24Nm model no STW1012 and a Teng 5-25Nm model no 3892AG-E1

Google implies both are still available

I watched that video, Busker. I think the lad does pretty good. it's cool to see how different people do different things. E.g. I would leave all the front plastic trim in place. I would also remove the inlets in their entirety as opposed to unplugging the fuel rail. But, he did it. Good job

Its so so, a few key bits to avoid doing and a key one is unpluging all the individual injectors (seen it to many times where the connectors are not re-fitted properly).

I propose that everybody does this job at least five times, you get pretty slick then
