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

Have a word with Sloth as he's done it recently without having to totally remove the manifold .
Do a guide while you're at it coz i have to do mine too

if you were local i would give you a hand.... once you done it once its dead easy

debz you should remember how to do it seeing Stuz and i did marks for you at JAE last year lol

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

Not a flaming chance you both did it took quick

When are you looking to do this? If your around tomorrow lunch or after 6pm I can help you if you want, I must have done this over 10 times now. I used to be able to do it in 15-20mins, lol, sad. Working in Bearsted...

its defo a 12 mm a stubby ratchet helps

Well got some parts from probe store today but the gaskets didn't come.as soon as they do ill be wanting to do it.but not got a short ratchet,just the normal size.only need help taking it off as looking at powder coating covers b 4 I put them back on.

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
