Shiny stuff

Thought it was about time I got the start of the system stainless aswell. Seems a shame that it'll all be hidden away under the bonnet!

Thanks to Tim at ACT for sorting out the hiccoughs along the way.

If anyone needs/wants the old mild steel manifolds (they are 15 years old and are VERY thin and welded so not sure how much use they'll be) drop me a line.

Just done mine:

if it's any help.

Good luck!

Yours looks like an S3C as well - I'd be interested to hear if you have any problems.

nice page re the swap - wasn't so lucky on mine with the bolts - probably cos they were still the original studs. Still, at least I now know what 3 of my piston crowns look like!

I fixed a burnt valve on my old 2.9 Granada once and it was a mare of a job and I really didn't want to go there again...

I was absolutely determined that I was going to get those bolts out without taking the heads off - I got one manifold off in an hour, the other one took 8 hours or so, spread over 3 dsys between penetrating oil soakings.
