I have got one hell of a knock in the engine [top end] now and I am going to have to strip the top end down to investigate ~ can anyone point me to a good set of instructions with pics or drawings for completely dimantling and removing the inlet manifold.
I have a few more pics of HH where shal I post them

You can find a strip down and rebuild of the 24v on You Tube - genuine Ford training videos no less !
I found it one nighshift when things were quiet...

Thanks Andrew, Yeah my cossie has just developed this horrible knocking sound in sympathy with the engine revs - god knows what I am going to find. But as I go in this octopus looks like a jig saw puzzle to me and I wondered if there existed a set of dis/re-assembly instructions on the site covering this job?
Cheers and Hi Dave - you well ?

Hi Got there! That's exactly what I was looking for thanx A.
Yeah the car did sound good at HH but today I drove to the Metrocentre in Gateshead 'Angel of the North' territory which is just 10 miles or so away from my house for a spot pf shopping with my wife and on the way back the car started misbehavng itself. I stopped so that my wife could post a birthday card and the car would hardly start it did eventualy and Iit hobbled the last half mile home. The car was sick! and so was I.
Scorpio_Mike Thanx for your input I have seen that BOA on You Tube and I rate it very highly pity Ford didn't do one for the BOB.
Thanks to all I will report back the results of my investigational work 
I have been very pre-occupied by these start up rattles for months!
I hope...........
CU in a bit

hi there
remember to take carefull note of where everything came from.
write down the wiring order to the injectors as it's common to put them back on incorrectly.

Me again - I thought I'd check the routing of the HT leads before removing them and I found THIS...
didn't look correct to me,
The numbers indicate which plug each lead ends up at
1-2-3 looks loigcal but 5-6-4
