I am in the middle of replaceing my manilfold, at 200,000. It is completely split at the collector.
Anyways, I was pulling all the lines and cables and labelling them, I am using a Haynes Manual (YUCK!). The descriptions they have are horrible and the pictures are so close up that its hard to tell where they are talking about. So I just started unhooking and labeling things as they made sense to me. So far so good.
Are there any precautions to know before hooking everything back up? The things I awas wondering about was air geting into the the feul line or something?? Dont' know if thats even a problem or not. This is the most technical thing I have undertaken.
Also I am replacing my down pipe. I noticed the end that connects to the header is at a different angle than the stock one (although my replacement pipe is from a donor XJ).....I hope it doesn't give me problems when installing it. My new exhaust manifold is off the internet, is stainless and has the expansion chambers...seemed to be the best quality for the price... $95
Anyhow, I would gladly recieve anyones suggestions or criticism.
