I am fairly sure the cause of some of my engine problems is a leak around the intake manifolds. I have downdraft dellorto carbs sitting on the top of them. I am planning to remove the manifolds and replace the gaskets. Are there any do's or don'ts you can suggest so I don't screw this up too badly? Such as remove it hot or cold [I assume its dead cold], what if any loosening chemicals to use [I've used PB Penetrating with success on other parts of the car], and any other tricks of the trade.
Thanks |

Regular rags posibly leave threads/pieces of rag (or fussel (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)) inside the intake port (and into the cilinder), which could cause damage...
If this happens with paper towels, it will just disolve in the oil, without ill effects Ofcourse you won't have this problem with "fussel-less" rags I hope this isn't too confusseling (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) cheers, Jeroen |
