Manifold need a clean (intake), i can do this in the meantime, what's the best way degreaser and pressure washer? I'll chuck up a pic, but the egr part of it has reasonable amounts of carbon build up. (Sorry 3D should have done it sooner)
Clutch think we're using the old one due to funds would be ideal to put in a new one but the old one has a bit of meat left on it so will be all good for now. . .
I agree on the clutch situation and it would be good to replace... what was our special love price for the clutch conversion.?Quote:

I know it would be good to do it now but that's the way it goes
Is the pressure plate dual mass or solid? Id have to ring and find out but i think a kit with flywheel is about $700. I think. Egr plates Roofy will have the old one and you only need to block it at the manifold, or on the egr pipe at the rear lower right side of the motor.Quote:

It's a Dual mass one. Omar said to block both ends is best, does that sound right? . . .Quote:

Yeah that's what i kinda figured but builder said do both. Guess it's over engineering but sometimes that's not a bad thing . . .Quote:
