Re: Throttle Body Gasket to Intake manifold leaking Radiator fluid
Thanks, all I used to clean it was a razor blade to remove old gasket material, brake cleaner & rag for the nasty stuff, & triple zero steel wool to polish it up a bit. To release the fuel pressure, , there is a small valve, like the valve stem on a tire, just push it in with a small screwdriver, ("don't spray yourself with gas, use a rag to avoid this".) This valve is located on the front drivers side near the thermostat & upper radiator hose. & for your other question about the oil pan, beside a small piece of plastic cover "part of the transmission flywheel cover" needs to be removed to get to a few bolts for the oil pan, other than that, it does come right off very easily. Make sure everything is clean before installing everything to prevent leaks, this also helps to find future leaks easier.

Re: Throttle Body Gasket to Intake manifold leaking Radiator fluid
Sounds good, I'll keep an eye out for those pics... (clean engines are cool running engines), plus you don't get dirty while re-installing everything....clean hands= clean tools

Re: Throttle Body Gasket to Intake manifold leaking Radiator fluid
Nice, looks alot cleaner than mine did. What did the EGR Port on the upper plenum look like? Was it melted & corroded like the picture I posted of mine? If so, are you planning on replacing or repairing it? Also, what I did to get the coolant out of all the cylinders was disconnected the fuel pump relay, pull all the spark plugs out, & cranked the engine over, & watched it splash everywhere.
