Title: Re: cam cover gaskets,easy job????? Post by Mmonster on Dec 29th, 2004, 4:50pm Hello gaz01gaz, You have 24V, right? To change cam cover gaskets you have to remove the inlet manifolds first. You will need: Inlets to heads gaskets, 2 O-Rings betveen inlet manifold and inlet chamber, a gasket betveen inlet chamber and EGR valve. All these parts are cheap even in Ford and it´s vise to renew them. After removed inlets it´s staight forward job. Estimated time: 3-5hours. You can first test tighten the covers first, because removing inlets is not just a small work. Regards, Mmonster |

Ignore the bits lower down that you don't need to disturb. BTW take care when reassembling the air inlet and use lightly-oiled new O rings. Provided you're careful and take your time there should be no problem. |

Title: Re: cam cover gaskets,easy job????? Post by gaz01gaz on Dec 31st, 2004, 5:02pm update....well as the saying goes,"anything that can go wrong?" upon removal of the inlet manifold..it has become quite apparent all the rubber vac pipes and plastic "t" pieces have deteriorated some what !!!i have read about hissing noises from 24 v's well now i know why! i have ordered the parts required to finnish the job the vac pipes and "t" pieces are supplied as one part to the tune of around £38.00 sheffield FMD but these are hidden under the middle of the intake system just above the injector connectors,all the electrical connections that i unplugged looked in good shape,but the outer protective cover on the wiring just snapped like plastic when moved any other way than it has been since manufacture...fmd said wednesday for the bits so i will update again when completed :P...gaz |
