I did this as the bo...

Inlet manifold is ver...

Hi Guys & Gals, I've decided to remove my engine to sort out the oil leaks, the leaks being cam shaft seals and gearbox to engine seal. And i want to give the engine and bay a damn good clean! I've noticed when removing the inlet manifold that its full of oil and the inlet ports on the head are ...

Thanks for info guys, food for thought as they say

The weitec springs, are the rear longer than the front ones? Making the van sit higher at the back?
