Many thanks

there are like ~11 bolts and 2 nuts holding it to the head. There are a couple vacuum hoses underneith, as well as the fuel rail (2 more bolts). It's pretty easy, just pull everything off it you see, and then give it a wiggle and see what you missed

Craigus, sorry to fork away from the main purpose, but thats something i've not thought about before, how do you polish the mani? and what with? ball ache? cheers dude

(looks very good by the way)

there are a few threads about this, B3LSY has got a thread about it not that long ago with pics.

I recommend hovering or brushing around the bolt area where the mani is fixed to the engine, so as to remove any debris which could otherwise enter the engine when you remove the manifold.
