Default intake gasket job

Well,I was able to get the job done,about 12 hours of labor. One of the most time consuming jobs considering how "simple" it should be. If I had to do it over,I could probably swing it in 6 hours know that I know all the tricks. I am proficient at wrenching,but my advice to a non-mechanically inclined individual is: get a shop to do the job. Thanks for the lead to D-tips!

Default RE: intake gasket job

It is all about having the right tools. When I did mine, I removed the power steering pump pulley just because I had the proper pulley removal/installation tool. This freed me from having to remove those two "hidden" nuts that are a royal pain. A non-mechanically inclined person probably should not attempt this, but we all were non-mechanically inclined at some point. With help from someone a bit more mechanically inclined and access to the proper tools, I am confident that anyone could do this.
