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 |

shouldn't be a big deal. just make sure, once they're off, get some old rag and stuff it into the intake.
otherwise murphy's law will come around and kick you in the butt big time. it's a major PITA to get those nuts and washers back out of the intake, or, if they make it past the valve, you gotta have to remove the head ... Andy |

Use paper towels to close the intakes instead of rags

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) (IMG:http://www.sirandy.com/pix/914/work/007.jpg) paper towels don't "fussel" so they're better than a rag, unless you have a "fussel-free" rag handy, which is, of course, what i was referring to ...

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 |

Lint or fuzzies but never fussels (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif)
Unless you are applying WD-40, in which case fussels don't matter. |

"Foozle" is a bungling golf stroke.
"Fusel" is bad liquor. "Fussle" is now a tendency to slowly disintegrate. Send it to Webster's. Thanks for the advice. Sounds like easy surgery...just don't leave anything inside. |
