Wrong manifold .

[Marc Verspecht]

Hi I think I have the wrong manifold Installed think it's Pärt of the problem i am looking . Original hif 6 manifold not bolted in , kept the Original manifold one the engine witch was already Paint . this weekend begin to measure the Tower , difference of 4cm in Height . Original manifold Has no hole in the thermostat house for a rubber. Can you bolt this in the Original engine .

I believe they should all bolt straight on, but you may need to do some localised adjustment to bolt holes in the gaskets to get bolts lined up..

That is a big difference in tower height. unlikely its a P6 manifold. The pipe that comes out of the thermostat housing is one of the pipes to the heater, so it would need another hole elsewhere to connect up your heater pipes? The actual housing is a GM item (or the same as) but its relatively rare also.
