    RE: PerfectCar garage projects

    Ok we are back in da Hause

    Yesterday we finished cleaning the engine






    When screwed in all the missing exhaust manifold studs,using two nut technique,and tread locked them in place,so no more hassle if we ever need to remove it again






    Brand new gaskets on and finally lovely piping







    Next day,time for inlet manifold.First off all remove and blank throttle heating body circuit,don't need here in Ireland .Also few brackets have to be modified for injection rail to sit properly
