Title: Engine Loom Wires Please Help Me.
Post by: Serge on July 02, 2009, 09:50:57 PM

As some of you may know I am in the process of replacing my head gasket, I am at a stage where I have hit a brick wall, I must of forgotten to label them.

Could somebody please verify where the big red terminal coming from engine loom to alternator then back again goes? maybe starter? and the two terminals for the starter one little and one a tad bigger, left, right etc.. help will be much appreciated. Serge.

BTW, did you seperate the exhaust manifold from the pipe as bentley says or did you pull the exhaust headers from the head?

Thanks mate. I pulled the exhaust headers from the head only to have trouble during assembly as It's a struggle to put them back on. I think I'm going to have to seperate them from exhaust manifold from pipe. Some people pull the head off with the headers attached... let me know which route you will take. Serge.
