January 29, 201412 yr comment_676492 block it and remove all your emissions stuff it does nothing. all just for some 1980's vacum system emissions genius Edited January 29, 201412 yr by clean55 Report
January 29, 201412 yr Author comment_676493 ahh ok thanks sweet just gotta somehow block the hole off, can't get that pipe bolt off for the life of me Report
January 29, 201412 yr comment_676494 If you can find some KE30 early ke55 3K gear. None of it has emissions crap and is all bolt on identical (minus the crap) Report

January 29, 201412 yr comment_676497 A set of 4-1 Pacemakers don't have that manifold stove crap either - just saying. I think it's for warming the inlet manifold with warm water from the block during extreme cold weather (like snowing) warm-up. Don't worry about the stove gasket if you block the rest off. And especially don't worry about it if you get Pacemakers. Report

January 30, 201412 yr comment_676582 someone on here has probably got a good manifold cluttering up their shed? Report
January 31, 201412 yr comment_676611 It's actually EGR. Exhaust gas recirculation. Operated with a vacuum controlled valve. When under throttle it does nothing. When you back off the pedal the fuel mixture leans and the engine begins to produce higher levels of carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons. The increased manifold pressure at closed throttle opens the valve and allows these bad guys to be recirced and reburnt. Edited January 31, 201412 yr by GJM85 Report
January 31, 201412 yr Author comment_676640 ahh ok thanks gjm.. yeah if anyone has spare extractors or mani i will pay. I'm after the gasket between the two any idea where i can order from thats not in a kit Report
February 1, 201412 yr comment_676666 Its called a 'hot box' gasket and can be bought at most parts shop. Wouldn't also be a bad idea to buy some new high tensile bolts when putting it back together. Report
