Re: intake manifold

i'm probably just as or a little less capabile than you, but i can't wait to have one of my fellow dumbass buddies over so we can wade through the project together. give it a try and i think you'll have fun - take it to the shop when you do mess it up; it'll probably cost the same.

Re: intake manifold

About the only tool you really need is a torque wrench. Trust me, its a straight forward job.

Re: intake manifold

Intake bolts do not require a lot of torque, maybe 20ftlbs, you can't screw it up.

I've never done an intake swap either but, just make sure you have a manual or how to article from a magazine in front of you. I'm not sure, I think you have to disconnect some lines or wires, if so, just use tape and mark what they are as you go along.

Re: intake manifold

You'll need a fuel rail disconnect tool as well, they are pretty cheap, maybe $5.
