Best advice if you are on a budget low miles van at junk yard but if u want take too machine shop complete head work about 250-325 but first just have the junk yards heads checked if bad take back with your findings in writing from shop they will replace them no charge 75 % of the time there okay.
UMM HOW i word this... ok u take 20 lbs no lifting for 30lb if guy, so divide 2 u dont sit, u get 10 but for guy it no 30, so 20 would be for guy if u werent a girl ?
THEN WHO WAS PHONE

Basically there are plenty of areas to focus your attention on regarding part replacement with this engine, and the bolts aren't one of them.

GO to sears, buy a stud remover kit and that will take it off. Might try lubricating it beforehand or using a propane torch to heat the stud.

They want $3 EACH per stud for the two. and $16 EACH for the other 4. I think I'll go with you, rr.

Great Thread Kevin, Thanks...
Got one of those cherry picker hoists years ago, great value and VERY handy, ever tried a 2 ton lift ?...
Notice the Oil Injector line Banjo Fittings are Brass, are ALL Series 1 Renesis brass??, I know there is only one Part Number listing...so I guess they are.
Series 2 EMOP line banjo's are alloy with No check or one way valve inside...I guess the Series 1's have to be brass because of the check valve inside banjo?
The six S2 lines are way shorter, each are different melded shape but only about 6 inches long each.

Hi,
does anyone have any ideas about how to pull a permanently stuck intake manifold?
I'm swapping the motor in a friends RX8.
I can't seem to figure out how to get a puller on it. I've also tried rigging up something with my portapower but I can't get a good hold on it anywhere and my expander attachment is broken.
I'm at a loss. Anybody have anything creative?
Thanks.

If you have removed all of the bolts...the APV barrels may be so carboned up that the manifold won't pull out. DO NOT pull hard on it or you will break the mounting tabs off
Usually there will be some in/out movement with this though....so it should move a bit..otherwise look for a bolt
I had one like this on an engine I had...it took a lot of carb cleaner and time to carefully get it out
Otherwise you will need a new LIM

Thanks. I counted 6 bolts, I think. It's sitting in carb cleaner right now. And will probably stay that way until next weekend at this point.
The flywheel bolt is odd. It looks like a 55mm. Guess I'll have to chase down the snapon guy tomorrow for that one. And it's not staked or pinned or anything. Weird.

Thank you, sir! I sourced a Craftsman 2 1/8" socket from the local Sears store yesterday. It fits perfectly. My impact gun, on the other hand, was completely impotent.
I have a friend that owns every snapon tool ever made since he was sponsored by them for two race seasons. We'll see what he has up his sleeve. I want to take it off with an impact gun so I don't have to worry about holding the flywheel. And, I don't have this engine on a stand, either. I'm doing this bubba style. Well, not really. The full bubba would require to move it outside onto the front lawn.

Yeah. The owner bought a Mazda crate motor. It's his wife's car.
