As I said earlier, I've just started to remove the manifold. And believe it or not, I have two bolts that won't come off. They actually unscrew a good two full turns, but really jam after that
!
They don't look cross threaded though, but I've left them there for tonight.
I found a badly leaking return line underneath the black "valve" cover. I had already planned to change them all. I expect DHL to drop the parts in tomorrow. And yes, that big O-ring for EGR is in the order.
I will wait until this fall to do the steel fuel lines, glow plugs, pressure delivery valve seals and possibly injectors.
Removing the intake wouldn't be that bad of a job after all. It's just the previous mechanic that worked on it that screwed up by overtightenning these two screws.
So Connerm, you couldn't say better!
Would it be a good idea to use never cease?
Bye,
