baccaruda Posted August 29, 2003 Share Posted August 29, 2003 order new intake-to-head bolts from the dealer. put anti-sieze on them before installation. Buy a tap and clean out the threads in the heads. try not to snap off any corroded bolts. and label all the things you disconnect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanonsf Posted August 29, 2003 Author Share Posted August 29, 2003 I have had it unbolted recently to mess with the EGR passage. So I think it'll come off clean, good tip about the anti seize this time I have to disconnect/reconnect alot of unfamiliar stuff (intimitading) and swap the fresh carb i recently installed etc........ I'll keep ya posted & thx shanonsf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSubaruJunkie Posted August 29, 2003 Share Posted August 29, 2003 ALL NEW GASKETS! Kinda goes without saying, but just to make sure. You can get a sheet of gasket paper too and a nice exacto knife to make those hard to find gaskets. Not every Kragen and Napa has Carburator Gaskets for a EA81 hitachi. Also, gimme a call if you run into any problems. I will have all day tomorrow off (Friday). -Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorganM Posted August 29, 2003 Share Posted August 29, 2003 And dont forget to double check your bolt torque after a thousand miles!!! Or you will end up like me and blow your intake manifold gaskets 2000 miles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
