manifold gasket change
hey guys hoping you can help me out here. I somehow have blown my manifold gasket and need to have it repaired, and id like to try this myself. I have heard that there is a bolt in the engine compartment that you can adjust the engine back and forth to give you room (this is needed for changing plugs and such) but im unable to find it. does anyone know where this "magical" bolt is?? any help would be great.

RE: manifold gasket change
in the book i have it says to take the dog bones off the front of the motor rock it forrward and go at it basically . Nothign about a certin bolt that could adjust it one way or the other just un do them and push the car forrward or back wards then set the E brake to hold it in place so it wont go back on you .

RE: manifold gasket change
your not taking all of the mounts lose just the ones on the top. So no it wont fall out. That is also how they paint hem to.
Just dont start the car afer you pull them lose just push it to where you need it.
