200K Miles Daily Driver -HERGTUS-

[Phoenix7]

Finally started the work on the NA...



1. The manifolds were cracked and brittle! Dunno if it's the age (200K miles) and the heat but it doesn't seem normal to break them while breaking the seal.






2. The Pineapple intake sleeves were not in the proper position and one of them was damaged...




Neither of the sleeves were seated in properly...Never seen this before.

I'll be draining the fluids soon and taking the dead motor out...wonder what it looks like inside.

I need an engine hoist, an engine stand and a flywheel removal tool to give Mike his flywheel back.
