TVR - Manifold Removal 1

Manifold Removal 1

Written by Darren Jones   Jan 20, 2014 at 07:53 AM The TVR bible only suggests it is possible to remove the exhaust manifolds with the engine in the car.  Forum members are a little more positive it can be done and have one it.  Me?  Am not completely convinced yet. Access is the issue, from both above and below.  On the top side the air intake needs to be removed, and on the bottom side you need to completely drop the exhaust off in order to get access to the bottom side of the first manifold. Removing the HT cables to get better access on the bolts, I first find one cylinder probably not been firing at all. And then my joy increases as another HT lead just snaps. But a couple of hours later after lying on a cold concrete floor in contorted positions, it is finally off. Enough for one day, get warm and refreshed before tackling the second side.
