Some more engine bay cosmetics
« on: 03 May 2014, 22:51 »
Went into the garage after work one day last week and saw my can of paint and primer sat there  :whistle: so seeing as i was going to be having along weekend  :smiley: i decided to get the inlet manifold finally coloured to match the cam cover,also give the fuel rail a tidy up to,so ordered the required parts from my local dealer and removed and painted all the parts yesterday and re-assembled,taken a few pics so thought i would post up :-

New inlet manifold gasket,throttlebody gasket,injector seats & some injector seals
Best to replace with new as the original seats/seal were a touch leaky especially on number 3,so needed replacing so why not paint the manifold etc at the same time  :wink:

£33 for these with discount  :laugh: still needed done tho.
As you can see number 3 is quite bad and number 4 not to good.


Nice clean inlet not bad for nearly 133k

Primered.


De-masked and finished.


Re-fitting.

And so now here's how its all looking now.






Real happy how it all looking  :smiley:
