Funny things it not the intake install that takes time it installing the dipstick and going to 4 stores to find a 1/2" bushing to put between the dipstick brakcet and head so as not to bend it. It searching 4 stores for 1/4" conduit when everyone sells 3/8" and 1/2". It destroying the thermostat trying to stick an asprin in it, to hold it open to fill it the first time.


I will post all my parts numbers. With a polished engine the last thing you ever want is a coolant leak. I have found the cometic water pump gaskets to be fantastic. They have a steel liner that will not pinch out when torqueing. They do run $14.00 each vs $1.99 but you make that up the first time they dont leak. I used ultra black everywhere, 1 tube covers the whole asssembly. Right now I am at about $9.00 in shop supply including the heavy duty paper towels. I get a kick when these shops charge $17.00 shop fee to change spark plugs, LOL!!
