Inlet manifold still not coming off!

[syncro]

So that we can have an interstate contest.
Post it to me for a week and I will organise the Sydney guys and we'll have a go. If we fail, we then post it to Hobart etc.

why???????

Angle grinder

Heat! apply heat, if you don't have oxy/acet. Then carefully use boiling water slowly pouring it close as possible to head.

Just make sure no water can get into head or opening of inlet manifold.

Tap it again.

If there are no more bolts. Bit of wood and belt the **** out of it.

Be prepared to have egg on your face if you bend the bolt that wasnt in there

[Golfwise]

There must be a bolt there somewhere otherwise it would fall off.End of story.
Would you like a workshop manual for one of these ,it sounds like you haven't gotone and they do come in handy.
I'll donate one to you

[GoLfMan]

I TRIPLE CHECKED FOUND 2 MORE BOLTS TOOK THEM OFF AND THE MANIFOLD CAME OFF!!!!!!
