slick Posted September 24, 2004 Report Posted September 24, 2004 Ok, tomorrow, I'm gonna just go ahead and do my injectors. I figured while I'm at it, if its not much more work, to just go ahead and replace the lower intake gasket. That's only if it isn't much more work. So, what all parts am I gonna need to do this all?? I have the injectors and o-rings. I also allready have the upper plenum gasket. So, what else am I gonna need? Tips too are welcome! Quote
maybe2fast Posted September 24, 2004 Report Posted September 24, 2004 just do the DIC and leave the motor alone...now your going to do the lower intake too! why Quote
slick Posted September 24, 2004 Author Report Posted September 24, 2004 Might as well. I'm gonna have the fuel rail off anyways Quote
94CutlassSLCoupe Posted September 24, 2004 Report Posted September 24, 2004 you're gonna need all the stuff for an oil change and a coolant flush because you will get coolant into your oil when you take the manifold off, AND dirt into your coolant. Quote
White93z34 Posted September 24, 2004 Report Posted September 24, 2004 considering the engine is dang new anyhow its probably not worth your time. but if you feel its worth it it's just a few extra bolts after ya got the fuel rail off. Quote

patgizz Posted September 25, 2004 Report Posted September 25, 2004 yeah and the lifter valley on the 3.4 is closed off, so no coolant is gonna leak out the intake and go down there like it does on a pushrod. Quote
sonyman87 Posted September 26, 2004 Report Posted September 26, 2004 just a large handfull of 10mm bolts topside and 4 hidden below if after you remove your gas lines and vacume lines. when i did mine i pulled the valley plate and redid the gasket with silicon also siliconed the oil 0-ring b/c its impossible to get it out. i noticed after all installed that the car smoked alot probably from coolant boiling off under the lower intake but it stoped after a day. Also i suppose some coolant spilled into the the oil or something wasn't right so i changed the oil and everything was Great! be sure to clean off all surface area befor reinstalling a new gasket and get a magnetic reach just incase you drop a bolt down under the lower intake or in the intake.
