LS6 Intake Install Question(in the middle of reinstalling!)
Alright well its been kind of a pain in the *** but we got the ls1 intake out and started putting the ls6 in. I have already installed the new coolant crossover and blockoffs. We got it in there and lined up but cant get it to sit down on the heads all the way. There is like a 1/8" to 1/16" gap on the passenger side and you can rock it back and forth...I pulled it back out and the only thing that seems to be in the way is the wires for the knock sensors?? I dont think those are thick enought to be in the way are they?? Thought about knocking all the ribs off the bottom but thought Id ask if there was anyone else who had this problem?? Any insight??
Thanks in advance,
Josh

well i didnt read the part about the clips and didnt want to pull on the tape so we used side cuts and clipped almost all the C off...sounded like a good idea at the time. after reading farther on ls1howto it says the C clips have to be completely removed....FAIL.
I might knock the tabs off too so I definitely dont have to pull that **** back off there. Do you think with all the tabs gone that wire wont be held down? Cause any problems??

I didn't have to do anything with the clips, i just knocked out/smoothed the ribs on the bottom and it fit perfectly. Just make sure nothing else got under there... The intake can be a pain in the ***.

Ya it was those stupid green clips....wish I had taken them all the way off before. Im worried about that oil sending unit, it feels solid and I dont think I broke it. Do you have to have the intake off to replace it? Also back to my fuel line question if it bent over is there something in that could have broke or is that all just rubber hose??
Thanks for all the help guys,
Josh

If the oil sending unit felt solid then it's fine. You will know when you start the car up, it will not show any oil pressure on the gauge. If it is broken then yes you will have to take the intake off to fix it. The fuel line you are taking about is it the line that connects to the fuel rail? If so it should be fine, it's just rubber.
