haha, I love the title you have across the top! "Skza cleans his Intake" Whats next? "Spot goes to the Beach" hehe :P

Just messin with ya dude... Man was that thing dirty though!! Shoulda taken some pics of it all shined up!! You've got me worried about what the inside of mine looks like now, along with the intake :?

Mod Day 2002 dude..... Add complete Upper Motor Cleaning for (2) cars onto the list Make it (3) if Mike wants his '99 done too

lets do it, quickly, before september


i have nothing to do, so lets do it................................................

It'* not as bad as it looks! Really, I've done mine already.
Removal:
1) Fuel Injector sight shield, air intake duct & spark plug wires
2) fuel rail (just pops out)
3) exhaust cross over shield (I left mine on w/o ill effects)
4) cable bracket to cylinder head mounting bolt (where the accelerator cable is attched to)
5) P/* pump support bracket (RH side of engine)
6) generator & support bracket (LH side of engine)
7) heater pipes (at front of intake, below where generator was)
8) bypass hose & uppper rad hose
9) intake manifold bolts & manifold (13mm socket if I remember right)

Installation:
1) intake gaskets & seals (use RTV sealant on the ends of the manifold gaskets at corners to heads)
2) intake manifold (apply blue thread locker compound to intake bolts)
3) tighten to 10 Nm or 88 Inch Lbs
4) bypass hose & rad hose
5) heater pipes to lower intake
6) upper intake (use GM sealer to reseal it to lower intake)
7) generator & bracket
8) P/* pump support bracket (tighten to 50 Nm or 37 Ft Lbs)
9) cable bracket to cylinder head mounting bolt
10) fuel rail (just pops in - listen for click)
11) spark plug wires
12) Fuel injector sight shield & air intake duct

There all done! labour time about 4.5 hrs

LOL yeah right remember my intake is already clean. like i would be so lazy as to let it look like lees hahahahahah i prefer to keep my motor running fora while.
anyway i will prolly clean my intake when i get my NEW BETTER FLOWING zzp throttle body. hehehe

i hate you...

die mike!

wow that'* big. the TB on my Series I is a bit smaller than that, as is my intake manifold port. Guess that'* why you make 35 more peak HP :?

That Was dirty.
