Default Intake Repair Tips

Getting ready to pull my intake manifold to repair the dreaded rear seal oil leak. Any tips for a successful reseal would be appreciated.
I am especially interested in safe bleeding of the fuel pressure and separating the quick release fittings for the fuel supply and drain lines. 92 LT-1, Thanks

I have no experience with LT1 fuel fittings but I would suggest using "The Right Stuff" RTV sealant on the mating surfaces. It seals amazingly well - don't let it skin over before installing the manifold.

The easiest and safest way to bleed the fuel pressure off is -

pull the fuel pump fuse

start the car.

the pressure will be minimal after it dies.
