I like to have the block heater plugged in for that stuff.With the engine cool….
From around the glow plugs? Remove glow plug wires carefully so as not to break the connectors.
Soak the nuts on the studs with a rust loosening / break free solution of choice.
Use a 13 mm socket and back the nuts off the studded exhaust manifold bolts.
From under the turbo, Back out the two Phillips head screws, grasp heat shield on both sides and pull upwards & out while wiggling back and forth to “walk” it out.
That would be a nice feature. Insulation and concrete would be nice tooI would like heat in the garage
Have the nuts off but where are the two screws are they pointed down beside the valve cover? As far as I know they should be loose and they are not.With the engine cool….

Be sure it's a dual fuel before you buy. My salamander will only run on kerosene.Have you thought of buying a kerosene Reddy Heater to use for heat? You can get an 80,000BTU unit for under $200 from Northern Tool. The nice thing is that almost all of them also run perfectly fine on #2 diesel, too. Just leave a door or window cracked for fresh air while it's on.
Sorry I missed this question. Been working on another project.Have the nuts off but where are the two screws are they pointed down beside the valve cover? As far as I know they should be loose and they are not.
Yep. Kerosene is expensive here too.Last time I checked kerosene was like $50.00 for a 5 Gal can here.
