[TR] Off with my head

[wbeech]

Don’t worry with the starter, it can stay where it is.  

 

Up behind the carburettors, where you cannot see you can feel the two bolts your looking for, you must remove all eight to pull the manifolds away from the head.

I can't feel all of the studs/bolts which hold the TR3A manifolds up to the head.  I think the workshop manual says there are 8; but I can only see 6.  Where are the other 2- do I need to remove the starter?

 

Alternatively, I guess I could remove the intake manifold and take loose the two flange bolts which holds the exhaust manifold to the exhaust pipe.  But my guess is that this is a bad work around.
