2008 VLX Manifold replacement project boat Norway


NorwayVLX

Recommended Posts

Hey guys I’m about to begin replacing and hopefully get going my 2008 Vlx project I bought just over 1 year prior. 
I’ve recently purchased some replacement manifolds from Torqit.com.August due to indmar not producing new or giving a timeframe to when they might be available. Boats located in Norway and has some electrical issues as wells as requiring these new manifolds. The last owner wasn’t very methodical when it came to storing the boat so when I came across it it had been outside in the elements for at least two years with basic cover. Any tips would be appreciated standby for some photos and updates when I get through each step.

The manifold swap will be fairly simple.  The bolts won't be stuck like they are on a car since wet manifolds don't get very hot.  Hang the gaskets they gave you on a wall and use Permatex Black or Copper to goop the manifolds at the heads.
