Oreo931 Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 this photo would be incorrect if the the drawing that is posted is correctthat photo is correct, you have to look at the angle of the oil trap in all of the pictures, sometimes it creates an optical illusion to where the hoses really are going Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookforjoe Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 that photo is correct, you have to look at the angle of the oil trap in all of the pictures, sometimes it creates an optical illusion to where the hoses really are goingI agree. The photos and the pictures all match - what's important is that the port closest to the timing cover is going to the cyl. head vent, regardless of the offset of the two ports.

scubthebub Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 One tip I have is i had a problem aligning the bottom intake bolt (12mm).I found it easier to loosen the top bolt of the bracket so that the bracket would move around. Once i put in the manifold bolts in i was able to alight the bracket correctly. I then used a closed end wrench to tighten the bracket bolt and the bold the the manifold.I also found it fairly easy to find the lower manifold bolt and oil dipstick with my hand once I unplugged everything from the throttle body.I did not remove the intake manifold either.

I'm ok then. I figured I would've made sure it was the same as stock before installing, but its been a few months so I paniced. I just pulled the fuel rail cover and look down in to confirm. It's the same as the drawing.Whats pissing me off, is I still have leaking oil from the filler cap and just replaced the gasket 2 oil changes ago!

7 VII 7 Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 I recommend taking out the fan shroud also... it gives you so much more room to move around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the cap is old/worn sometimes the new gasket will leak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBVolvo Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 I know...the extra WHOLE dollar that the seal costs really adds up psht. not complaining about the $$ dumbass....it's the fact that they couldn't make it seal like all other engines?besides.....never seen the gaskets for just $1 around here! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBVolvo Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Sounds like someone doesnt know where to look dumbass...Click the "dumbass" link i resent that remark.... I think I'll order a dozen then - perhaps I'll try putting several on at once seeing as though I'm such a "dumbass"...dumass. (I really ordered 10 since its not much of a difference in price w/ shipping)I think I'll add a thin coat of oring grease next time...I hesitate to bend the tabs on the cap as I've read it recommended before....mainly due to the fact that I'm afraid it'll start seaping somewhere less friendly....like the RMS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
