OK I am tring to disconnect the intake manifold to take the head off. how do I get to the bolts under it. It's a pain in the nuts.
thanks

U can take the head off with the intake manifold attached to it....u just got to take off the two screws that are in the back of the intake manifold...u cant see the screws...u just got to feel for them...u can leave all the screws that are holding the head to the intake manifold

 

where on the back of the manifold. and what size 10,12,14 MM
Thanks
Luis

 

Hm...kinda of hard to explain where exactly its located at but...the 2 bolts are either 10mm or 12mm...its next to that black rectangler box in the back of the intake manifold(i think its called the IAB) the one used for the sencondary butterfly.

 

go under the car and look up at the bottom of the manifold and you will see a black metal bracket. There are 2 bolts that hold that bracket (which holds the heater bypass hoses) to the manifold. You must remove those 2 bolts. You will need an extension to reach up to them but they are not that hard to get off!

That bracket is the most evil thing I have ever encountered working on my car.
You will need tools and patience. Getting the IM off is a pain in the ***.

 

i agree, its a PITA, you might try going from under the car with an extention.

i hated installing my skunk mani

 

well the peple who stole it off my car had no problem
