Inlet manifold bypass pipe

blackvoguebeauty · Oct 11, 2012

Hi all

Anyone ever removed/replaced the inlet manifold bypass pipe? The metal (steel?) pipe that sticks out at the front of the inlet manifold?

Mine's rusty and if I look up the new part it's threaded so I assume it just unscrews?

3.5 V8 by the way...

I replaced a 3.9 one, presume its the same/ similar.

Yes, it just screws out, but mine was bl**dy tight!

Cheers Dave, I was hoping someone would've done it. Yes, 3.9 one is the same. I've got a 3.9 manifold to practice on and it is BLOODY tight! How did you turn it? I'm thinking drill a hole right through to get a bar through, clamp down the manifold, then try to turn it.

Hmmm. From memory I think mine had a hex on it
