No.....

You need to remove the coolant transfer pipe(not easy), the EGR pipe, heat sheild, downpipe etc... and then the studs them selves.

About a 4-6hr job im afraid :(

I'm in the middle of doing mine and I also have LPG. I am an Omega virgin so haven't a clue but this site has been very, very helpful. Look back a bit on this section for my thread.

One important tip: I thought it was my exhaust manifold gasket blown, making the noise. IT WAS'NT!! It was the secondary Air Injection pipe rubber joining piece which had split. So check yours first -you may have a similar problem.

On start up mine sounds like O/S is blowing...but after it warms up it's all ok...Is it on way out?  Not liking the 4/6 hour job to be honest...!

Thats how mine was kineavy, and YES it was the gasket

Was a mare to get out as the person who fitted the LPG made a mess of the routing. wires and pipes ran everywhere
I have taken pic but can't get them off the camera till i get to my pc, (on lappy atm).

2 bolts were stripped in the inlet minifold, from the Plenum chamber so gotta repair that tomorrow. :(
