Hi,
Okay so my head was off and I noticed the standard manifold was cracked so I bought a stainless ebay manifold, which is probably a mistake.
I am tempted to put the cracked one back on. my main issue is I cannot see how I can get to the bolt hole under the pipes?
I have not put it back on the car but I don't see how I will be able to do up either a bolt or a nut on a stud from the turbo hotside? I have simulated C spanners - my friend suggested a "crows foot" which is the closest I can imagine will fit as it is open rather than ring (as a ring wont fit) and tiny.
Is this a faulty version of their manifold eg the pipes not in the right place - they have sold hundreds of them - or is there a special tool?
to be honest from the outside it looks okay, but I am sure the bolt hole was more visible on the advert, and also reaching inside the collector box I can feel one of the pipes which seems a little inefficient to me.
Thanks for any help.
