inlet manifold removal

[Connaught]

thinkin about removing it and giving i birthday (cleaning out, along with intercooler etc etc)

question is, service manual says to drain the coolant,?!?! mine is a spanish manual transmission and the only reason i can see to drain the coolant is to take the EGR valve off, but the coolant jackets and associated pipes are only present on Auto models

are there water jackets in the inlet? by the manual and shape of the gasket i would say no

so will there be a mess????

disregard, the answer is yes you need to drain the coolant
