i wish it was a 30 min job to get rocker cover and inlet manifold off.
rocker cover can be off in minutes but the inlet manifold took me about an hour to remove.
not only are the 10 mm bolts that secure it to the head in a god damn awkward place and are behind items like the cold start injector and dipstick tube, but you have two support brackets from the block to the manifold, one which also holds secure the bottom hose and the other has a bracket from the bracket to the back of the alt bracket lol, then you also have the oppisite side alt bracket that bolts onto the manifold and the injector rail wiring has a couple of securing clips on it too.
And with the rad in as well, its a squeeze to get to all the bolts. |

exhaust manifold on ph2's/clios is piss easy, inlet on any of them is a nightmare. |
