I'm working on removing the exhaust manifolds on our 460 powered 86 E350 motorhome, and I've made some progress on getting the manis out. I've primarily been going through the inside. What is the best way to get to all the bolts, specifically in the front? Is it worth the time to pull everything (fan, shroud, air pump, etc) out of the way?


Thanks

Bump.

Got the drivers side out.

I've taken the radiator, air pumps, and alternator out, as well as the large bracket for all of it.

Issue I'm having now is with the heat shield/riser on the passenger side. Can't get it out of the way, and even if I pulled the motor mount/carb and tried jacking up that side of the engine I still wouldn't have room.

Any ideas?


Thanks
Jameson

 

Hey Jameson, I have zero experience with manifold removal. I do know that I pulled off the passenger wheel to give me access on a few projects, sparkplugs and the like. I wish I could say for sure. Good luck. Maybe someone that knows will check in. VanDude.
