I've done a search and not been able to find a guide on how to remove the manifold so you can replace the rocker cover gaskets. Can anyone help? |

yeah i dont think anyone has done one yet.... it isnt that bad of a job to be honest you just need to make sure you take off all the bolts to the rear of the manifold that hold the breather pipe to it and there is also a support pretty much at the centre of it that goes from the cylinder head to the back of the manifold |

Do you need double length sockets? |

no you dont need any deep reach sockets but just have a short extension and long extension handy. For the pain in the ass support at the back just put a 12mm (think it is 12 but might be 10) straight onto the rachet and squeeze your hands behind |

I need to replace my spark plugs soon, does anyone know if intake man has to be removed? If so are there any specific torque settings on these bolts or are these just as tight as it will go type thing? |

No you don't need to remove the manifold just to replace the plugs
