[Dr.Noisewater]

Thanks bro. I have some questions and maybe you can help me?

[motoman399]

maybe whats up? email me at [email protected]

[Dr.Noisewater]

I will ask you along with the many others I have bothered. I'm trying so so so hard to remove my intake and exhaust manifold from my block. I have the exhaust about 90% off with the exception of the EGR pipe which seems rusted together. I think I have the Intake manifold about 70% removed for the simple fact that I have all the bolts out but she is not movin anywhere. Would you have any idea what I could be missing on the intake manifold? Thanks for all the time and effort.

[motoman399]

well on the exhaust just bolt it back on slightly and then use a propane torch and some penetrating fluid and a pair of vise grips or channel locks. it should come off. and for the intake. it is a pain in the butt as far as i know. there are a few mounts on the bottom of it that bolt to the block. those need to come off and as for the rest should just be hoses and should be basic

[Dr.Noisewater]

Okay I will try rebolting the exhaust to the manifold. Maybe thats why I cannot get a grip on the bolt. And this will sound really stupid but I know righty tighty, lefty loosey but I just want to make sure I'm crankin this b**** the right way. If you or anyone has a S13 KA24DE could you guys check and confirm that the nut needs to be turned left towards the rear wheels.

[motoman399]

yes they are regular threads. i know that. so just work at it more and use some heat and wd or something like it

[Dr.Noisewater]

I tried heating it up but my vise grips just keep slipping around the bolt any tips???

[motoman399]

did you spray it with penitrating fluid then heat it up. and repeat the process a couple times. you kinda burn off the oil then use the oil to cool it down and do that like 3 times. it should work and also maybe you can hit your vice grips with a hammer. to get the blunt force on there.

[Dr.Noisewater]

I will try that next I do hope it works.
