Cylinders were FULL and hydrolocked. Pulling the plugs, cranking it over didn't do the trick. We had to use the compressor, and some tubing to blow them out and dry'em up. Installed fresh plugs..

Morty.. you car shipped from the factory with slow tires on it. Mine didn't (Do the research if you don't know what I mean)
Ok... we got pics. You'll notice as usual I let the others do the work while I snap the pics.
Arrived looking like any normal 98 SSE with an L36 motor.
Close up of TB for GH acct
Some big dude named AJ (Highlander) lifting off the intake.
First sign of the car'* thirst... These are the lungs of the car (not the gills)...remember..
Here'* the lower intake on the car. No, it'* not really smooth like a pond of water..There'* two bolts in there somewhere
Here'* a really hidden bolt.. it'* underwater
Lower intake off..here'* the lower gaskets. Didn't look to be leaking at all..but not pretty.
AJ..will you clean the lower
The only way to clean gaskets... (it'* a right angle grinder w/gasket cleaning cookie on it)
I love air tools
The result
Who'* this guy?... oh..my twin..he actually works on cars
And back together
New intake fresh from Bob Dillion
And that'* all we have. It was pretty uneventful after those pics.
