Quickly had the Coil Packs and Camshaft Cover removed



Even the Gasket was in good shape. When the engine over heated I half expected it to have destroyed the paint surfaces as sometimes happens even in a healthy engine.


Small traces of Water-Oil Mix. Condensation or?...


Also removed the two Retaining Bolts and Nuts to release the Alternator. I actually swung it forward to facilitate Cylinder Head and Exhaust Manifold access and removal.

Having done that, turned my attention to the 5 Exhaust Manifold Nuts, Washers and Studs. Four years ago I treated this engine to a set of Stainless Steel, Allen Key Drive Ex-Manifold Studs, Brass Nuts and Washers and using these Allen Key Tools they were soon removed.

Here's the tools for the job. Both useful because of various positions needed and other access restrictions.

End Product ~ One detached Exhaust Manifold. I carefully recovered the Exhaust Manifold Stainless Steel Gasket. It looks like new. So will reuse.
