New Cylinder Head Gasket - 1983 Turbo Esprit
An 8mm 12 point socket will fit the Cam Carrier Bolts, but the points will eventually break off. A Torx socket is required to prevent the tedious process of drilling the bolt head off. |
The Cylinder Head with Exhaust Manifold can be removed from the Block while in the car. |
Where the coolant was leaking the Head Gasket left very little residue. The machine shop found the surface low there. A 0.002" cut corrected the problem. |
While reassembling the exhaust system I noticed something odd sticking out of the Catalytic Converter. The Matrix had broken up and was jammed together at the outlet! If your Dell'Orto Esprit doesn't have the power it used to, check here first. |
