Coolant Crossover Pipe

[cjkeeliii]

Can someone point me to the proper TM for removing the coolant crossover pipe? I can't seem to locate it. Thanks.

I'll see if I can find it. But its held on with 4 bolts, metric, and there is a short piece of heater hose attached. remove bolts and loosen hose give a alittle persuasion and it should lift out.

TM 9-2320-289-34 also 9-2320-289-20 makes for some interesting reading on a cold snowy night.

be very careful when you remove the thermostat housing bolts. other than that there are just 4 bolts into the head 2 on either side. a coolant hose leading to the firewall on the passenger side and the large upper hose to the radiator. Also i found it easier to get the crossover off and out to loosen a small rubber/metal hose fastener on the driver side of the motor. this will give you a wee bit of play on the fuel? line over the crossover. Please suplement me with what that small tubing is.

Also.. TM TM TM just take time with it. mine turned into an ordeal due to a simple thermostat swap.

I got 3 of the 4 bolt out of the crossover. Very little access to the 4th,left side next to throttle. Any advice? Best I can tell is I have to remove the intake manifold.

Thanks. I'll see if I can hunt up a shallow socket.
