Disconnect Battery!

Loctite (RED HIGH TEMP) all bolts! torque down bolts in crisscross pattern to correct torq.

Coolant drain not necessary,

Be careful with oil pressure sending unit behind the manifold..

Rear 2 bolts are a PITA, zip tie last 2 together (Keeps them up) allows manifold to come in/out freely.

Lube all injector o-rings when re-installing..

Things you will need:

Zip Ties, Fuel line disconnect tool, socket set, WD40, Loctite (RED),
