I unfortunately didnt install a intake manifold gasket correctly and I have to pull it out.

I am sure its straight forward but wanted to see if anyone has some tips that would make the process easier.

Thanks in advance and apologize if its a repost

Thanks

Adam

Take your alternator off for more clearance for the bracket that supports the manifold on the bottom. All the manifold bolts are reached from the top (sohc). While you have it off I suggest replacing all the coolant hoses on the bottom side.

there's really no easy to do it the best thing to have is a swivel and a pack of cigarettes i had to swap out my gasket because i was dumping coolant so when i pulled the intake manifold of and swapped it out with a new one i forgot to check it and it folded so then long story short after swapping it out 3 times i began smoking again its just a pain in the a** patience is the only way to do it
