Anyone done this?
I'm pretty sure i have a vacuum leak somewhere on/around the inlet manifold, so may need to get it off...
Is it easiest to take head off with inlet attached and then attack it?
Am i going to need to drop the engine forward slightly??
Cheers

yer drop the engine slightly is your best bet.Taking the head off can be a lengthy and time costly .Check the EGR first ,the bolts on mine cam loose somehow which created and massive loss in vacuum
