Changing Intake Gasket PITA!!
After putting it off for too long, I'm in the middle of changing out the intake manifold gasket. Being a po boy means I gotta do it myself, instead of $700 at the dealership. And I don't trust these pretend mechanics around here.
I'm also changing out the radiator, belts and hoses while I'm at it. So far I have the fuel rail off, the outside bolts off the top, PS pump loose, bolts to the lower section off and it's loose but not going anywhere, and now I can see 2 of the three lower, inside bolts. The center one is loose, but that's as far as I've been able to get to. The other 2, LOL, I have no idea. Every angle is blocked. I've removed every piece of plastic that I can to get to it from the underside, HA! Yeah right. I mean I've taken farm tractors apart, replaced engines and trannys, but this takes the cake. What did I get myself into? As you can guess, HELP! I'll be checking back to see if ya'll got any suggestions, (besides dynamite).
