Re: [doc] Engines.

["Chris Williams" <chris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks, this is really carrying on from an earlier posting. The 
engine is spotless, and it 'seemed' that the leak was coming from 
below the water pump leaking out from the valley. Hence why it is so 
difficult to see exactly where without removing the manifold. If I 
do this what is the best way to remove the fuel injection gear, 
disconect the pipes from the injectors/ or pull the injectors out?
Thanks
chris
