have done that neil to those spec .Unfortuneatley the 2 bolts on the lt bank at position 2 and5 (if you know what i mean) wont torque up .When they were first un done some ali thread came out with them so I will either have to drill and over tap them with a larger bolt or heli coil them. Must have been over torqued originally by manufacturer

having gone metric in uk what size bolts are those in the inlet manifold as I will need the coresponding heli coil

Have cleaned out top half of engine ,any suggestions on cleaning out the rest with out removing the engine and sump pan!!! Its amazing the amount of mess made in a few seconds as I was just warming her up to open the thermostat to help bleed the system
