Hi Zorba Thats the strange thing - nothing !! The cylinder heads were cleaned, pressure tested and refaced (but not the inlet or exhaust faces) and the exhaust manifolds were happily left in the engine bay attached to the exhaust downpipe. regards Neil --Previous Message-- : G'day Neil : What's new - the exhaust manifold or : the cylinder head? : : --Previous Message-- : Hi All : I have just done a top end overhaul on : my 89 3.5L RR due to the tin cylinder : head gasket failing and letting coolant : into the rear cylinder. : However, when I have gone to put the : exhaust manifolds back on, one of the : bolt holes does not seem to line up : with the cylinder head anymore - it is : almost half the width of the bolt off. : This means that I can only put 7 of the : 8 bolts back in. : Has anyone ever had this problem before : and if so, is there an easy solution : that does not involve elongating the : bolt hole in te exhaust manifold. : Thanks : Neil :
