LT1/4 intake remove and install guide
I my LT4 is leaking oil form the front and rear of the intake, which I heard is pretty common.
How big a job is it to remove the intake, re seal, and re install the intake on these cars?
Anybody have pictures of the process?

It's not hard at all. I might have pictures on my hard drive. I'll check when I get home.
The most important thing would be to torque the intake correctly to provide even pressure and prevent leaks.

You'll be removing stuff like AIR, EGR, and the throttle body, so you might as well pick up those gaskets, since they're pretty cheap. Honestly, Disconnecting/removing everything attached to the manifold is a much harder job than actually removing it. Be sure to label everything and take pictures as you remove, so you can put everything back like it was. It's just 12 bolts and it's off. Be sure to look up the correct torquing sequence in the FSM!
