Title: Damp Manifold
Post by mr._floppy on Mar 3^rd, 2005, 12:33pm

On my 2 lt. 16v Ultima I've discovered a very slight coolant wetness where the inlet manifold joins the block near the thermostat housing. Not worth bothering about now, but may need attention in the future.

Is inlet manifold gasket replacement within the capabilities of the handy amateur , or is it a bit tricky, regarding removal of Fuel Injector and throttle delicate bits?

Gawd! Another one!

Have a feel at the base of the thermostat housing,on the front bottom corner of the manifold flange,there should be a bolt,if you find a hole then the bolt is missing! If so then a 13mm bolt should be inserted and tightened up.

Mine and a couple of others were missing.
There should be 6 manifold to block bolts/studs.
