How many inlet manifold bolts?

only got 4 out, cant get inlet bolts out without taking exhaust mani off, cant take exhaust mani off without inlet off! help    

Put a small mirror near bulkhead so you can see them.
Pete :wink:

There's 6. I've only got a couple of pics and they're not great, but they'll give you an idea… (N.B. The head is upside down in the pics, so you're looking at the lower set of ports)





They're a real pain to get at, but a mirror can be quite useful in locating them. An allen key on a small 3/8" or 1/4" ratchet is the best tool for the job IMO

Ok, inlets off, thanks guys  

next problem, i got 7/8 exhaust bolts off, and one decided to strip itself, it's one at the bottem aswell, i hammerd a socket 1 size smaller on to it, and tryed again, same result, have tryed mole grips no luck  :cry:

And ideas?  :dontknow:

One of those small blowtorch/ heatguns on it? My gas powered soldering iron came with attachments for that kinda thing.
Dremel cutting disc to put a slot in it for a screwdriver?
Cut the head off the bolt and when the manifold is off use some mole grips on the remaining thread that's sticking out?

Or, laugh about it.

They're all worth a try.

are you taking the whole engine out?
