Is it possible to take the entire intake off and replace the coolant O-rings without pulling the engine?
The motor did run last year when I parked it in my back yard I knew the intake
o-rings were bad when I got it i just didnt have the time, title, money, or place to work on it last year. A few weeks ago I started working on it and cant get it running do to the large amout of water entering the combustion chamber. Now im sending out my *** backward paper work to get a title for this car and i want to get it running so i can decide if its worth putting on the road or useing for parts.

Yes, if you mean the ones to the manifold.

If your refeering to the 2 o'rings that go into the engine that are behind the intake. Then the answer is you don't need to pull the engine for that. If your are talking about the internal coolant seals, yes you have to tear down the motor for that. rx7doctor

Is this for your 7 with the '84 6-port engine? If so, I hate to tell you that the 6-ports engines do not have intake coolant o-rings. So, if you are getting coolant in the combustion chamber, then it is likely the -rings between the housing that are bad (requires rebuild to fix).

If this is a 12A or 4-port 13b, then yes, you can pull the intake and replace the intake o-rings.

it is a 12a and I am sure its the intake orings but i wasn't sure if it was possible to fix it incar. now I know thanx for the quick replies. The 84 is still in primer wating for me to have money for a carb, intake, exhaust and paint ( and maybe widebody kit).
