Our technician Steve has been diving into the 1968 MGC Roadster which is currently in the workshop here at Bridge Classic Cars. As part of the cars assessment, the team found that there was a very small weep coming from one of the core plugs in the engine block, so this would need to be addressed. To do that, Steve had to remove the intake manifold, as well as the exhaust manifold, from the car, making sure to safely disconnect all of the carburetor linkages and fuel lines.

After gaining access to the core plugs, Steve carefully replaced each one as well as taking this opportunity to completely flush out the coolant system of the classic roadster. After that was complete and leak checks were all ok, Steve could get the manifolds back onto the car with the new gaskets.
