Looks like fun. You REALLY need some stands or something man. Should never just trust a jack.

Cool on the cam, but dont you think it would be a good idea, to try and keep everything as clean as possible and to pick up some jackstands or even ramps.

yes deff need jack stands. I have had two jacks just like that leak down on me while working on my car. Lucky me i had jack stands under the body. it gives you alot more room to work.

Also removing the radiator gives you a lot more room too:

Yup i love my 93 intake. And yes it is rattle. It is dupicolor high temp gloss black. I also cut/sanded off the rough edges and the unneeded two raised threaded mounting holes on the driver side at the front. Not sure what these were ever used for. I have never seen anything ever bolted here. It looks so much better the intake painted. I wont have to mess with with polishing this anymore

Ok thank you ss.slp.ls1 for helping me find tims tool I went ahead and orderd it so I should have the car done this weekend.

Btw I did take the radiator out and pushed down on the ac to pull the cam out. Ya that jack didn't seem to safe but its all I had. + im tiny if the car fell id never get flaten. I could fit under the car all day with no jack. I didn't even jack it up all the way lol. O n those rims came with my car when I bought it 4 years ago I think they r better then stock light and its a love or hate for a lot of people. Well ima take some more pics from my cell and get it up later. Car is just about done. Took 1.5 days to pull cam apart and 1day to put mostly all back together. I didn't really have any complications yet, hopefully none.
