Good work man, nice detail. I did this last weekend on mine chasing out some vacuum leaks. Worth noting all the electrical connections can only go in one place as they all have various notches so you cant mix them up.

P.S - 16 is the camshaft sensor.

The blue line is the fuel system Breather/Vapour

20,19,9, 12 are all parts of the CCV system (separates the oil vapour and vacuum)

Be nice to check all your hard work with a smoke tester to make sure its all buttoned up. Recent work on a 2.2 with air leaks pinpointed the leaks straight away, saved a lot of time.

Thank you for the insights! I have added your changes and suggestions to the original posts. I appreciate your time! BTW, I finished the whole job today. Turned the key and it started right up - I was floored (and relieved)! The power change with the M54B25 manifold is noticeable and it is terrific to know that the cooling system is completely overhauled. So nice to have it back on the road!

That would be great to know how to do that. Where can I find more information on the smoke test?

You can make your own smoke tester have a look on youtube loads on there. I used a five lite empty new paint can to make mine
