Re: lower intake

If you are only replacing the lower intake manifold gaskets ... why have you removed push-rods? Why are the valve covers removed?

What exotic tools do you need to find TDC? (Just for clarity: TDC means "TDC on the #1 cylinder, while on its compression stroke.) On my engine, ('99 3.8) it was possible to find the marks on the crank pulley .... but I confirmed the accuracy by removing the spark plug, inserting a slender plastic rod and rocking the crank back and forth 'til I was sure the piston was at the top of its travel.
