how old is your car? you may want to get new studs and replace the old ones if you have any problems getting any of them to loosen, it will weaken those suckers, and then when your trying to put just those 5flbs on them , they snap!!!!!!!!!

RE: Lookie Here!

this has me thinking, because im taking my heads back off to install my skunk2 valvetrain parts. some of those studs are a pain to reach in my ride, woukld it almost be easier to remove the head, then r&r the intake that way. then you know you wouldnt be marring any mating surfaces etc..

I get back from vacation and my new toys are here.......Skunk2 Manifold and a Golden eagle vac manifold...........the damn hondata intake manifold gasket has yet to arrive, so installation is pushed back a bit.........

so how long should this take to install.......i think its going to be a pain in the ****.......

some of the bolts are hard to get to while the motor is in the car, I jsut realized I did it with the motor on a stand so it was a little easier for me. GL
