exhaust manifold fitting

[garth]

Hello there I was wondering if anyone has any tips for fitting a 6 branch manifold?
I was wondering if the best way to do it would be to undo the exhaust side engine mount and jack up the engine, as does this give you enough room to get the pipes in?

Thanks for your help

I found it impossible to feed the rear set in without lifting the engine off the o/s mount.
Doublejointed fingers help with the manifold nuts as well,make sure that there is no-one with a swearbox within earshot!

It is possible to get both headers in together, you need to get them in position and then just drop them.
Also do all the nuts up evenly. There is a guide somewhere, i, ll see if i can dig it out.

Here you go garth, assume it,s the same for all 6 branches.
