Inlet manifold is a straight forward job. But the rocker cover can't be removed as it hold the cams in place iirc.

​I sprayed mine when it was in the engine bay.

cheers mate. il just mask it up and spray it then. did you remove the throtle body?

I didn't, but at the time I had my RS2 manifold fitted. So it wasn't really a problem.

But I'd recommend you take yours off, and you might as well give it a quick clean at the same time
