Thanks jrumiano. Those are great instructions!

If yours is a turbo, get the two coolant T's and change em while you are in there. Here is some info: Coolant T Crapola - Rennlist Discussion Forums

Thanks mtnrat. I'll do that. This is preventative stuff I'm doing.

Its really not that bad a job " worst part is when you get the old tubes out most likely the old
Rings from the tube are going to stay in there, it's a real task to slowly chisel them out
Be prepared to literally sit on the engine while you bend over to see them.

And when I say you have a hair folical of space to get the new pipes in I'm not kidding.
It's a good one solid day job when you have all the parts and do some cleaning.

If the engine happens to be out...much easier.
Have your tech remove the crossover coolant manifold and pull the aluminum coolant tube out.
Then clean and prep the mating surfaces for a quick TIG welding session.
This will be the last place the coolant system will fail !
