Before you at any time tackle the removal and installation of the intake manifold, the following steps should be observed, turning off the negative terminal of the car battery and draining off the cooling system including proceeding to remove the fuel line to the throat. Subsequently, unbolt the accelerator linkage from the throttle body, thus, remove the distributor cap and the spark plug wires and if necessary label them for reinstallment later on as well, also label the wires at the coil. Take off the wire harness from the coolant temperature sender, the heater hose, and the bypass hose, finally, the rocker arm covers. Following the removal of the mounting bolts, raise the intake while supporting the throttle body assembly to get it off the engine at once. It is important to make sure that the heads, block and the intake manifold mating surfaces are clean removing all the old gasket material and sealant. That is on the intake manifold during installation, the gaskets are dimpled differently on the left and right sides to allow for air and coolant flow respectively, and must therefore be installed correctly. Squash the gaskets and place the intake manifold sides on the cylinder heads, ATV sealant must be applied to the gasket as a thin layer, apply the thin layer of ATV seal to the front and rear gasket surfaces of the block. Put on the front and rear gaskets and align the center holes to the dowels in the block and the ends should fit into the tangs of the head gasket. Apply a single dot of sealant in each of the four corners of where the end seals butting up against the head gaskets. Ease the intake manifold onto the heads, making certain that none of the gaskets come out from between the surfaces, and screw in the intake manifold bolts just enough to hold them in place with your fingers. Last, permanently torque number three's intake manifold bolts in three separate applications to the torque specified in step four before reinstalling the intake manifold number three fasteners in the reversed manner used to remove them.
