I have another issue and I cannot find the information in the manual   can you guide me to the correct place to look for it? I need to replace the O rings in the bent sockets where the coolant goes from the expansion tank into the engine block? I am looking for a required procedure and torque figures for the bolts?

There is no detailed procedure for this operation.

Take them OFF. Replace the O-Rings, Put back together.

6mm Bolts use 10Nm(90in•lbs)(7.5ft•lbs) Unless Otherwise Specified and these have NOt been Otherwise Specified.

Thank you. No wonder I couldn't  find it. My other question is it looks like we need to remove the intake manifold to get at the rear ones. If I do that would you say I need new gaskets for those as I did not order them?

An extra-long (6") Hex Driver with a Ball-End to operate at a slight angle can get to them without removing the Intake manifolds.

It is doable, but it isn't easy.

Otherwise, new gaskets may or may not be needed.

A tiny bead of Locktite Gasket Maker around the big holes in the old gasket could give you "Belt And Suspenders" security.
