Thanks for posting this !
did you show two different intakes? the one you are cleaning has o rings pressed into the bottom but when you re assemble it has nothing?
What size are the 12 bolts,I need new ones but can't find them online at all.
There is a plastic doo-dad under the PCV, which way is does it go in?
Open at the top or Open to the bottom?
What is the talk specs for the lower intake manifold?
You're meant to use thread locker on the bolts to stop them vibrating loose since they aren't very tight
Nah, just make them super tight.
@@hjkane12 And crush the gasket?
@Benny Hutch The ones that mount the manifold to the heads.
@Benny Hutch My advice would be to check where the gasket seals around the ports on the heads aswell as the manifold and to make sure surface is clean and smooth otherwise new gasket wont seal. Mine had a thin layer of rust buildup around the ports on the head so i just sanded it down until it was level and smooth. Put some moist paper towel in ports to stop rust falling in
That's how I start working on my holden with a bourbon cola
Hows it going mate, one question, after you put the inlet manifold gaskets back on what "nm" did u do the 12 bolts to? Thanks mate.
I did them to 13ft lbs from memory i read it to be between 11ft lbs or 14Nm and 15ft lbs or 20Nm
how did you surface the head and block where the gaskets sit
I used a razer blade to get the bulk of the gunk off with a vaccume to clean at the same time, then some 800 grit sand paper i had laying around, but make sure you have rags down in the areas where you dont want stuff to get down in 😉
Thanks so much for this video will help me lots to do the same thing for my v6 ,can you please write what the name for each gasket you change and before you put the gasket I see you putting something like silicone, and what did you use to clean all the head covers ,thanks heaps
Thanks mate for the comment, yeah the gaskest came as a kit when i did it, if not youll need the inlet manifold gasket, the silicon i uses was just an oil ATV Gasket Silent, and to clean up the surfaces i used a vacc to suck up the gunk as i scraped it with a razer blade then wipe with a rag with thinners or wax and grease remover to clean it.
Hi did you find the plenum ports and lower manifold ports didn't line up no matter what you tried?
To be honest i didnt look or was too worried about that.
How did you get all the old intake manifold gasket off without crap falling into the heads?
I cut up a rag and shoved it down blocking it once all cleaned i used a vacc to clean up the mess 👍
@@snrautoworx2840 I had a bit of old gasket fall in the coolant port, how bad is that and will a reverse engine flush with the the thermo off clear that out ?
I'm about to do this but the gasket kits both have different bottom plenum gaskets, and now I'm more confused, at 1:43 on the video i can see the o shaped gaskets but a 6:23 its clean no gaskets?
Because i had a spare inlet manifold which was already cleaned which was the older style that use the thin metal gasket which are from VR to VS Ecotec's the orig inlet i took off the car was the later style with the rubber gasket which are from VT onwards i think, I could be wrong.
Hope this helps you understand why you see two different styled gasket set-ups
At 3:25 you will see the dirty inlet which was removed from the VT originally down on the ground 👍
Perfect thanks, yea that helps heaps. I thought it was a different one you used.
Did you use liquid gaskets if so where do you apply it
The only place i use a liquid sealant was on the corners od the head where it meet the block so it gets the best seal coz its not always perfectly flat and linded up there, and on the thermostat housing around the gasket. Hope this helps answer your question mate
Hey mate just a question or two,
I’m at the stage where everything is apart and cleaned ready to go back together,
With the gasket goo / sealer do I put it ontop of gaskets on the corners as well as the bottom?
Also what NM / Foot Pounds do the manifold bolts have to be torqued to and would the plenum bolts be the same or does it not matter?
Hey mate, yeah I would do it on both top and bottom corners just for piece of mind and I could be wrong but the bolts are torqued to 22Nm the bolts in the middle for top part of plenum I'm not too sure on
@@snrautoworx2840 alright awesome will get it all back together tomorrow. Thanks for the help and the video!
did it work for you mate as im about to do the same to my vt?
@@ryanames4007 hey mate yea done it all good, cooling system is all clean and no longer have any sludgy build up
@@flash52958 sorry to be a pain but could you write all the tools you used and sizes of spanners/sockets. About to do this to mine and I’m shitting myself.
What’s that thing up from the maf sensor?
are you referring to the silver round thing going to the throttle body? That's the Gas converter for the LPG Setup
SnR AutoworX yeah that’s the one brother, cheers for the reply
how did u no b4 u started that it wasnt the head gasket?
I didnt but you always start with the easy cheaper jobs first unless you have the right equipment to do the right tests to see if the head is leaking or leaking somewhere else before pulling it apart
Great video mate.
I have a VY making a ticking noise when idling, is that the valve lifters ?
yeah its a possibility mate
@@snrautoworx2840 thanks for the repy will it improve after i do the intake manifold gasket ? i do see creamy oil after taking it off.
@@nathanl7459 creamy oil is never a good sign mate sorry to say worst case is it could be a head gasket thats gone
@@snrautoworx2840 yeah i always knew that may be a possibility thats why another engine is on standby if the intake manifold gasket doesnt fix it. Cheers for the help
Hi mate what is then specs for the bolts on the inlet gaskets
Air Inlet Plenum Assembly (Non Supercharge) To Inlet Manifold
Assembly Attaching Bolts
15 Nm
Air Inlet Plenum Cover (Non Supercharge) To Air Inlet Plenum
Assembly Attaching Bolts
10 Nm
@@snrautoworx2840 thanks mate
Can I ask you a Question ???
Missed a part where you have to take your tensioner pulley off and unbolt your coil pack
You dont need to remove coil pack lol
How did you clean the engine
Hard bristle brush and a tooth brush with Petrol and a whole heap of good ol elbow grease
So u need to drop coolant before removing intake ?
Yeah coz top radiator hose goes to the thermostat houseing on the bottom half of the inlet manifold.
Does it need to be torqued on or can i just use locktite an do them up
@@rikimorton6951 They do have a torque setting like every nut/bolt on a car but i just did them up to what i thought and felt was tight enough.
what would this cost for a mechanic to do?
Not sure mate, ring up a few places and get quotes 😉
is that a turbo?
No Turbz in this Vid keep a look out in my Gemini Build you'll see a Turbo in one when the time comes 😉
Bet that made ya toothbrush taste funny the next time you used it? :P
It did a little 😂😂
