From our very positive install in Southern California-
Installation tips:
1) Put ALL screws, nuts, etc in Baggies with a slip of paper(label where they go).
2) Read the instructions, read the instructions, read the instructions, then make your own work schedule and put it on the underside of the hood and follow each step as you work!
3) Relieve fuel pressure by removing the cap at the end of the fuel rail and (with a cloth over the end)press the valve stem release.
4) Cover with duct tape or a stuff cloth ANY opening that could swallow a screw, nut, or washer!!!!
(We used two side by side strips to cover the intake plenum immediately!)
5) Put a touch of anti sieze on ALL screws and bolts.
6) Use NO dressings on any gasket!!! The original gaskets are coated with a sealing lubricant that allows them to adapt to the high expansion rates of aluminum alloys!
7) The screws on the pcm are self threading. (aka. hard as he** to turn), use an air wrench or a ratchet to cut the threads!
8) Use your work schedule in reverse to re-assemble your engine.
9) Always idle your engine and look for leaks etc. everywhere before hitting the road!
10) Smile and enjoy your hard work!!
