Volvo 164 B30A inlet / exhaust manifold removal ?
My 164 from 1973 was purchased after having stood still in a garage for 4 years.
After an effort to put the car back on the road within 16 miles one the core plugs leaked water.
Examination has revealed that several core plugs are in poor shape.
However to remove the core plugs on the side of the block with the inlet/exhaust manifold you need to remove the manifold.
I have managed to remove all the nuts on the manifold with the exception of 2 nuts which are located centrally under the manifold and appear to be unreachable between no 3 and 4 cylinders.
The nuts are above the metal return pipe for the heater system – making access more difficult.
Does anybody have any hints / tips for removing the inlet / exhaust manifold on a B30 engine?
