wellllll I finally got started with the intake gasket replacement this weekend. lol ..turns out to remove the power steering pump pulley, you gotta buy a power steering pump pulley puller! Fortunately the local auto parts store carried an inexpensive one. Other than that, it was simply time consuming......just have to take it one step at a time. Hopefully it will be back together next weekend,..... and running! The Haynes manual was indispensible to me, not being much of a mechanic myself. I have one for each car I have or have had in the past. I would recommend tho having a second person handy when it comes time to actually remove the intake.....I found myself sitting in the engine compartment with the intake on my lap, .....thinking.......now what......lol. But finally it is out and time now for the new gaskets. Thanks to all who have contributed to these threads, it has been a big help.
