AS title - what do you guys recommend? - looks like mine is leaking (which I hope may be a reason for the prob's i've been having - although I have re-gapped the phase sensor, and now it starts as it should )
Basically, if you spray carb cleaner over the inlet - head join on cylinder 4 the engine note changes a fair bit. I am correct in thinking inlet gasket aren't I?

 

sounds like it, i fitted cometic ones on mine when i did it , inc throttle body and plenum ones, havent had any probs with them

 

Ok - cheers
Where did you get the gaskets from chap? I'm guessing mr Rainbird may be a good bet?

Also, just how much of a pig of a job is this to do? - I have a horrid feeling that its going to be a complete arse of a job

 

Yes cometic are A1....Rolls its easy mate

 

just have to have small hands to get at them nuts.

cometic one.

 

think i got my gaskets from pj motorsport

 

I do a lovely 1mm thick fibre gasket for £18 + delivery .

 

COMETIC all the way, done all of mine with these and reusable all of them, including water pump one.
They do not creep or anything.

Ritey then guys, finally back after a week away mountian biking - how exactly do you get the inlet off? - it looks like its going to be mission impossible to get the bottom bolts off

 

anyone - pls? - is it a case of remove TB, then outer, and then inlet?

cheers

 

nope you can get the inlet manifold off without taking the cover off.

you can just about get your arm under the manifold to get the nuts off its not that difficult TBH.

 

4-5 nuts on the top or 4-5 underneth......you need smal hand and a small spanner.

dizzy cp and rotor arm off,leads out of the way and you should get it.

do the bottom ones first.

 

prepare for some bruises

 

Nice - cheers guys - i'm brusied to fook from mountain biking in verbier anyhow, so that will make no difference lol! - i'll give it a go tomorrow in teh hope this is the cuase of my problems....

 

should be ok mate.

 

why you trying to scare him Dave its not that bad just gotta have hands like jeremy beadle
