can the coolant o rings from the back of the cylinder head be replaced without removing the carbs as mines just pissed out the new antifreeze
-
If you're referring to the elbows that go into the cylinder head between the intakes? It's not worth the effort and faff trying just pull the crabs back by removing the rear air box rubbers.
That way it's done right 1st go.

yes thats the ones i mean, i was dreadding that to be the answer, ive managed to remove the allen bolt and can pull the elbow back just enough to maybe squeeze some instant gasket in i just bought from halfrauds, thanks for your help

That would be a selling fix botch job, do it right and do it once. Coolant is under a bit of pressure at that point and needs to be sealed properly

i agree, ive got the elbows removed now but cant find anything showing the correct size o rings so just going to take to a shop that sell viton o rings to try and match some new ones up if they have the size

OE are Nitron, hopefully you've got the correct size both ID,OD and thickness, they have a habit of picking non commercially available sizes. You fit the non standard, they work for a while, then start leaking. :rolleyes [size=78%] [/size]
