Re: Removing intake manifold
Kevin, the gaskets can be reused. Just be very careful when you lift the manifold. There should be 4 red/orange gaskets pressed into grooves, make sure they are seated when you reassemble. Manifold bolts should be torqued to 105 inch lbs in this pattern 5, 3, 1, 2, 4. I usually snug the bolts, then take them part way with the torque wrench and then torque to the final.
Plugs to be torqued to 13 foot lbs after applying anti seize to the threads and dielectric grease on the boots.
