Carbon clean with DIY walnut shell blaster

[DaytonaRs4]

Im looking at doing this soon..

i have all the tool's etc required can someone confirm that the following gaskets are required?:
2 x intake gaskets 079 133 074 B
2 x vent tube O rings (no P/N)
1 x Throttle body Gaskets

other than the one way valve prev mentioned earlier in posts are there any other specific parts that i will need for rebuild

thanks

You don't need to bother with throttle body gasket, it's just flat metal iirc. Just put it somewhere safe.

I replaced my intake gaskets, but it sounds like a lot of people don't bother. Mine probably didn't need it tbh.

What are the vent tube O rings?

[docurley]

I think he means something like this.

O rings are fine to use again, just put a bit of grease on them before puting it back together.

Brilliant bit of information. Wish I had known this before I did mine a few months back.

[DaytonaRs4]

yeah i got the info from the ECs tuning website as mentioned above. all my gaskets were replaced last year when Autohaus did a CC for me, i think i will just play safe and get new intake gaskets and re-use the rest.

thanks for the info guys

Great post tony !!
I'm started mine today ! I'm stuck here ! I can't get the back off by the breather hose from the coolant reservoir !!

Am I missing something simple!!!

follow this link and it will show you the full step by step guide on removing the manifold mate.

Remember you WILL need a very small ratchet into which a T30 (from memory) bit will DIRECTLY fit. anything larger and you wont get in the gap. This is at the oil separator/ coolant connection stage.

Awesome link thanks ! I just need a t30 bit , I got one ! But it's on a 1/4 socket ! Just that to come off then bingo ! CC time ! I post up the progress

[TonyHayers]

Yeah, it's very tricky, but follow the link for the removal guide and it will tell you where the bolts are. The lowest one is a pain. I couldn't remove the SAI pipes so access to the bottom one is very very tight. You need a very low profile ratchet like the one I mention early in the thread and then grind down a normal T30 bit so that only the driver bit protrudes. Just keep trying and you'll get there eventually.

[bazza138]

I must of missed the bit about grinding down a bit, I got all the others bits off your write up I have a go on sat !

[bazza138]
