Lol yes set aside atleast 2hrs and get a buddy or two to help! Look up multiple videos on how to do it and atleast a few threads on how to do it on this site. If you dont i almost guarantee you will break the oil ascending unit. Which it sits directly behind the intake manifold and you will need to get a fuel disconnect tool to disconnect the fuel line from the fuel rail. Get some tap to help hold up the back 4 intake bolts (2 on each side need to be about half way out in order to pull the intake off). If you can somehow remove the oil ascending unit first tho if not then be very careful not to break it. Im sure i left something out but no worries others will chime in

I cut some vaccume hose in 1" or so lenths and slit them down the side to hold up the intake bolts. U can't pull them all the way out. They hit the wiper cowl metal.

Smart. I'm going to do it this way now on instead of my Mickey Mouse tape method.

The plastic wire loom stuff works good too. And there's already a slit.

Get an extra oil psi unit if yours is still stock. They are brittle.
