Re: Intake Mani Gasket (TMC_EF)
Ummmm try Hondata's website on installing their gasket. I don't think they have an Accord write up, but similar. http://www.hondata.com/manuals....html Umm good luck on that. Hey! You might even make a write up too for us. =P

It's not very hard. Basically, start unplugging any vacuum hose and sensor connector, make sure you mark them to make assembly easier. Depending on what car/engine you have and the way the coolant system is, you may want to drain the coolant. You'll also want to undo the gas cap to relieve pressure and unbolt the fuel feed line from the fuel rail. Unbolt the intake pipe from the throttle body and move the intake pipe out of the way. Once everything is disconnected, just unbolt the intake manifold nuts and remove the IM. Use something to scrape the old gasket off the head and install the new gasket. I've heard spraying the old gasket with WD-40 will help loosen it making it easier to remove from the head, don't know if there is any truth in that or not though. Then just reassemble everything in reverse order.
