Inlet manifold

[dixiebabes]

Right lads inlet manifold gasket and rubber seals arrived to day. Will there be any other gaskets need changing after i have pulled it to bits? also what tourque settings do the bolts take from the inlet into the head? Iv been told it is 30lbft although they can strip at this.

maybe worth changing the Thermostat gasket, if you got one like the inlet, steel with foam covering.
Can't remember the exact torque, but it quite high, I've always set to correct torque, and never striped one, I have stripped head and exhaust ones though.

Dont suppose you have a part number for the thermostat gasket do you leigh?

I think it should be ERR2429G or ERR4077 not sure what the better one is, maybe worth getting both, and use the better of the two. or get 2 of both then you have a spare.
