I'm replacing my manifold gasket. There is a lot of carbon toward the front of the engine. The last time I replaced it was in 2010. At that time I had to do a lot of repair to the manifold. It looks like my repairs held up. I still plan to clean it up and repaint.
So my questions are: 1. How do I torque it down if I can only get a box wrench on the nut?
2. I want to do the acetone test once I clean it up. Do I just pour the acetone in the end water inlet?
3. Now that the manifold is off is there anything you would recommend I do to the engine at this time
now that more of it is exposed.
4. In the pictures you can see where it leaked toward the front of the engine. Should I put high temp
Permatex in this area? The last time I replaced it , I did not use any silicone .
