Hi all,

Jus got my head back from being reconditioned so can now put the engine together, When i first got the turbo head it came with some round spacer's that went between the head and the inlet manifold, they sort of sat in the ports of the head do these need to go back on? or do they get chucked? cheers hope i make sense.

Cheers matt *smiley*

They are handy for lining up the manifold and head

They're not essential, but I use them even if Jim dosen't so Neeerrr.

my head and inlet manifold has been opened out, so I can't use them, but they do help line everything up.

The inlet manifold I have has had the lower section of the lugs (that the studs clamp down on) removed allowing the manifold to be lifted straight up and off once the studs have been slackened, negating the possibility of using those round things.
Not sure if this is standard? I guess not..
