All

if anyone has attempted this themselves, or seen it done, I'd be grateful for some information as to how to go about it.

Nearside, if that makes any difference.

thanks for the link, but I guess I'm looking for more detail.

e.g. remove the water rail above the manifolds?

cheers

Removing the water rails WILL help for sure. I did when I took mine out. But then I proceeded to take the engine out. Then the rads,suspensions, yada yada yada

I'm not sure if everyone who has removed the manifolds, took the water rails out too. But it does help alot.

I'm in the same boat as Cad, in that when I removed my manifolds, I took everything out at the same time, but I would certainly agree that for all the time it takes, you're probably as well to remove the water rails first. Just remember to refit the rails with new o-rings after.

There's no need to remove the water rails, the easier method is to undo the two front engine mounts and jack the engine up.
