Re: manifold question
did you get the hidden bolts? Is this the 3.4 or 3.8?
If you are positive you got them all then take a rubber mallet and pop it off lightly

Re: manifold question
sounds like a 3.4 if you need to remove the upper manifold to remove the valve covers, but he's not fessing up on which motor he has.1978 Formula 461 in progress of being built :rock:

Re: manifold question
he has a 3.4, ive been talking to him via AIM and cant figure it out, he says he has all 8 bolts out (6 long and 2 short) and it feels like its stuck on the middle back, the fuel rail is out and the brake booster line is unhooked. the map sensor is unhooked too. any ideas?

Re: manifold question

By: Hib Halverson
At the end of Part Three, we changed the valvetrain of the 3.8-liter V6 in the Tom Henry RS. We installed new, Yella Terra "Ultralite" 1.8:1, aluminum roller rocker arms, Katech valve springs and Katech titanium retainers on our 3800 Series II V6.
Ultralites are nearly 25% lighter than the stock 1.6 rockers and 8% lighter than the SLP aluminum...02-07-2020, 10:30 PM
