Default How hard is to to change Intake Mani Gasket on b16a2?

I think I finally found out my vacuum leak problem and I wanna fix it soon as possible. I was gonna run up to the Honda dealership and pick up the gasket and was wondering how hard it is to change. Does anyone have a good DIY with good pics? I wanna try to get it done today before the weather gets shitty.

It should be as simple as unbolting the IM. Scraping off any old gasket. Installing new gasket. Bolt up IM. Torque to spec.

Do you need to drain the coolant?

No just top it off if you lose any from the hoses that you disconnect.

Depending on how old the motor is, the IM gasket can be a pain in the *** to remove, especially with such little room to work. I use an air grinder with an abrasive pad.
