RG5

I have ordered a 3.2 Carrera RH cam feed line. It this something that is relatively easy to replace? Is it just a matter of unbolting the old one and swapping over. Will the line be under pressure with the engine cold?

Any helpful hints welcome.

RG: The line is not under pressure cold, but will dribble a little bit as you remove the old one. You will have to remove the A/C compressor and probably its mounting platform. Just lay the compressor over onto a heavy blanket on the fender (quarter panel), with the refrigerant lines still connected. When you install the new line use new aluminum/copper sealing washers at the outboard fitting. Also, make sure that you set up the outboard end so the intake valve cover can be removed without loosening the line. Occasionally, when installed, the inboard and outboard metal sections of the new line won't line up, which can put a strain on the hose section (which will be an elongated "S" instead of straight). Gentle pressure against the metal sections can line them up, and the assembly will last longer. Don't get muscular!
