webber 38 & cannon manifold question, issue, problem, pu


pberen

Recommended Posts

just bot a 74 2002, not to bad of shape according to the 5 gallon overhaul that it was given....but that's another story.

i purchased a webber 38 double pumper & a cannon manifold upgrade. In attempting the swap, it appears that the head must be pulled in order to get to the nuts on the bottom side of the intake manifold. Yes this thing still has the original ERG valve and exhaust manifold (I can't imagine who those survived).

Am I missing something? Or is there an easier way to remove said original intake?

stubby wrench (12mm if you're lucky)

extensions, a flexy adapter, maybe a flexy 12mm socket....

I have a 'Gear-wrench' with a flexy head that often helps.

If you're unlucky, the nuts are 13mm instead of 12mm.

But they do come off. As do chunks of your knuckles.

It's not so easy, the first time.

While you're there, have a heart- to- heart with your starter and see if it'd

like to be upgraded to the E30M3 starter, because that's going to be the

easiest time to do it.

persistence!

Look at the bright side its a 2 minute job with said head off, just a benni of a blown head gasket, have done it both ways and with head on right, thinkin like a German, it will get easier the next time.

Are you removing the EGR and emissions stuff? Once that is out of the way, it's really not that hard to get the intake manifold off. Remove the alternator, too.

I always do it right the second time.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
