How to remove intake? (fast 90)
Hello,
Im thinking about painting my intake manifold.
How involved is it? Do you just remove the 6 bolts or so on each side? Im assuming also the fuel rail? I've never done any real work under the hood yet (plenty on other cars though)
Just wondering if its worth it and the time it takes.
Thanks!!

Is there way to tell if it was already done? the previous owner had a lot done to the motor, so im wondering if it was already done.

im plenty confident. I've had my sportbikes torn down to just the frames. Ive redone 70's boat motors. I've done custom swaps on imports that included completely rewiring the engine harness and repinning the ecu before most shops even knew how to do it. and that was right out of highschool.
Its just that this is my first "modern domestic" and my first ls1/vette. So I was just wondering if the time and effort is worth it, or to buy a cover for it. but yeah, Theres a few guys i can call on if needed. I just dont like to unless I HAVE to.

Heres that old link to the oil pressure sensor, it will give you a rough idea on removing yours, go for the paint, it looks alot better than tacky covers

Do you mean a fuel line disconnect tool? If so, they are available at your local auto parts store. Based on the pic, nothing earth shattering.. Removal will be the same as a stock manifold, with the exception of the specific vacuum line location, no coolant line on the throttle body, etc. Based on your stated expertise/experience, this should be a piece of cake for you. Import or Domestic, an engine is an engine. You'll just need torque specs for reassembly.

lol. yeah, sorry wrong part. do places like autozone or advance auto parts have them? those are the only two local places. although i suppose i can just call them.
Im assuming that there isnt any lines connected to the back of the intake like the stock one?
also, Do I need to replace the seals? I read somewhere if you remove it, you should replace them. Thanks for all the help everyone!

There is not enough detail in the pic, so I cannot see how you have the MAP connected. There will be one small vacuum line for the A/C controls, and one large to the brake booster.
