Thinking about doing some under hood work...

Any tips when it comes to pulling the intake? Sequence to removal recommendations? Any word would be appreciated....

Its not that bad but there are a couple bolts near the back that are a complete motherf*#%ker!!! to get to. I had to tape a torx bit to the end of a 1/4 Inch extension. Then to put back in had to tape the bolt to the torx bit also.

so...throttle body, fuel rails, then the intake bolts what you guys recommend as far as the order of things?

 

[OnceBit]

SON OF A B****!!!!! One damn bolt...ugh....I just cant get the right angle on it! lol Too damn cold to continue tonight...try again in the afternoon tomorrow I guess

I use a small open end wrench for that one in the back.

 

[OnceBit]

drivers side, lower back correct? lol

My bad man a star key#27 it's in a 1/4" socket. You can buy it at auto zone.

I did mine like this. Get a swivel head magnet pen if you don't have one (should have one of these things anyway.)

Take that magnet and swivel the head to 90° and put your 11mm socket on perpendicular to the pen and place it on the bolt head. Then take your 9" 1/4" extension with ratchet attached and come from the top of the intake at the last opening (driver side) and place into the socket. Pull magnet off socket and begin taking last bolt out.

Way faster.

Thanks guys...I'll give it a shot when it warms up today.

 

[Midnight Runner]

Good luck man.

My bad it not a#27 it a T30.

The torx head on a 1/4 with a small amount of electric tape to keep it from falling off and I used 2 1/4 wobbles to make it easier. I also found that it went faster if you get the lower bolts from the oppostie side of the motor, thru the top of the intake holes, works well until you get to the back, then its wobble time.

 

[Midnight Runner]

Did you get it?

 

[OnceBit]

Not yet....Gonna try again this weekend. There wasn't enough material machined away from the runner and it causes whatever I try to go on the bolt offset. Already mangled up the torx because of it...now working with shaving down an 11mm cheap socket till the socket walls are as thin as they can go without splitting. Cross your fingers...gotta work the next two days, so its getting put off till the weekend.

Thats a lot of work for one bolt.
