HF manifold on D16Y8
I was trying to find out what needs to be done to be able to use the HF manifold on a D16Y8 engine block. If so, is there anything that shows what needs to be installed or how to install it. Thanks for the help.

Re:HF manifold on D16Y8
well, ok, if you need help, this is how you do it.
I believe the nuts are 10mm. you will need a 10mm socket, and a ratchet. you might need an extension to, so have that handy.
spray the ---- out of all of the bolts with pb blaster. use about 1/2 the can, you will thank me later.
then make sure you are loosening the bolts by playin with the ratchet. by this time, the pb blaster should be doing its thing.
then start unbolting the manifold. there is no secret to this, however i like to start at one end, and go back agnd forth on things like this. this will probably require lots of cursing, and lots of being pissed off.
once thats off, and you have busted your knuckles alot and you are just pissed to high hell, drink a beer.
now, take your new gasket, and put that on. some people use gasket sealer, some dont. some dont even use a gasket. you can choose how you do this.
then take the hf manifold, and put it where the old manifold was. then take the same bolts and put them back in, and then torque them to 23lbs (i think) (i never do this though, just get the ---- somewhat tight, but not real tight) then, your beer should be gone, so get another beer, and stand back and look at what you have done.

so ya dcivic, the hf will bolt on just fine. you can use your gasket against the manifold to see where you can port it; if you want.
you have a/c?
