I wanna take the intake manifold off my FG to get it mirror polished. Can I get it off without disturbing the thermostat housing/waterneck etc? I know I have to take the fuel rail off and stuff.Cheers Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/64191-removing-intake-manifold-off-fg/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm gunna give it a crack in a couple of weeks. Just wanted to know if it was any major job so I can work out how long I will roughly have the car off the road in case I need her. The compressor housing is also getting shined up.
