Hi, I've been reading up on the breather clean using these 2 excellent guides as my major source, as they seem way better than Mr Haynes' efforts !

plenum removal - http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1159298765

breather cleaning - http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1152598350

I think I've worked out what I need and would just appreciate any other tips/hints as this is the first time I've done it ! - and have I missed anything ?

Engine is X25XE

Breather Bridge to Plenum - Seal - 1 - p/n 90467543
Breather Bridge to Throttle - O rings - 2 - p/n 90500983
Plenum - O rings - 6 - p/n ??
Throttle Body - Gasket - 1 - p/n ??

and finally (not !) how does Mr RMcB reckon it only takes 5 minutes to remove the plenum ?? it took me 10 minutes just to read it !! - seriously .. many thanks for the guides

I did mine last week following the same guides and it's pretty straightforward, however, word of warning from my own experience, the threads in the bolt holes are very weak and I accidentally stripped the thread of the breather bridge as the torque required is very low.  Just beware of this because its so easy to do

Throttle Body to plenum gaskets, 2 required, not 1.

Thanks for that .. shopping list amended  

and as the low range torque wrench arrived in bits .. literally ... (it's already gone back and a replacement is being sent) I'll have plenty of time to get these bits ..

And dont worry about the 6 plenum O rings, yet to see them need replacing.

Oh, I have, a few times...  ...they seem to go hard.

(I'm talking about the black ones, not the orange/red ones further down?)

[Entwood]

Well .. as once I start this job I have no wheels .. methinks for the price of 6 o-rings I might as well have them handy .. be a bugger if I need one and don't have it !!

Thanks for the advice .. shopping tomorrow  , and this job is back on the list for when the new torque wrench arrives ... thats 3 out of 4 jobs on hold .. the only one I can do is the brake fluid change, and no point in doing that before I change the discs and pads... might just have to do something else this weekend   ...

The above link should take you there.  The link at the start of this thread is to the old site.
