Intake Manifolds and issues.

[np205]

Well I was going to take off and reseal my intakes on my 95 OBS while I had my turbo off and replaced my fuel pump. The passenger side one had a bolt on the lower front that wouldn't come out unless it looked like the front cover of the MOTOR came off. What the hell???? Anybody else have these issues.

Thanks,

Owen

I believe that particular bolt just needs to be loosened, and the intake can slide out from under it.

I've had one or 2, that I assume, someone else had the engine out and then reinstalled the plenums without the slotted side towards the front cover, not knowing the difference.

I backed the bolt out as far as I could against the front cover. Then took a die grinder and cut the bolt in half. On reinstall I used the top half of the bolt and it worked just fine.

OK, Thanks.
