Intake bolt drama's

[Petska84]

Well i can officially say the intake is now off

But I'm not proud of how I managed to get it off, I tried all of the above and still didn't come off. What was supposed to be my last resort didn't work, yes tried to cut the bolt off with the dremill drill but the motor burnt out sooooooooooo I went into the shed and got the good old sledge out. Stood on the scuttle panel and two whacks it was off

So I guess we could add that to the list.

Hope you have not done something to the head that you cannot see. Sometimes you do have to resort to the Irish spanner, but the trick is knowing how hard to hit AND where to hit

Head seems to be fine.

How do people usually plug the injector holes when there going from injection to carby????

[Peter Jones]

On Josh's car we unscrewed the injector holders and dropped coins in there with a bit of silastic and screwed the injector holders back down.

I think 5c pieces were the right size, maybe10c.

On one of my heads I left some old injectors in there and sealed up the fuel line connection on the injector.

Some companies that sell carby kits sell dummy injectors to block off the ports.

Another head I have has had the ports filled with epoxy metal.

I've seen them welded up too.

Another way that works really well is to use gearbox drain plugs, they screw straight in in place of the injector holders. The kind with the 17mm hex.

Cool, thanks Pete I'll give it a go.

I dropped by the nut and bolt shop today and picked up plugs that screwed straight in with a hex head, works a treat
