hey guys, I am just now getting to the intake manifold off the head, and I have a ka24e engine. The problem is, is that I need to get the bolts off the manifold, and I don't know how to get to the bottom ones. Am I going to have to jack up the car to get to them? or is there some other way that I can get the head off without taking the intake manifold off? thanks guys

Wasn't the answer to this question to leave the manifold on till you get the head off? You're replacing your head gasket, right?

It's a pain in the a$$ to unhook all the hoseand hook them back up but it's easier than trying to get to those bolts, unless you know a contortionist :)

i cant imagine what your going through right now. Itd almost be easier to pull the engine and bolt it on to a stand. if your still stuck i could send pics of it with all the bolt locations.
