Left_coast*9 Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Better apologize in advance here, this is my first engine pull EVER. The car is an '86 GL-10T 5spd S/R wagon, purpose is to reseal it and install new head gaskets, among MANY other things. Actually, I'm pulling the motor myself, then taking it and all the new parts down to my local Soob-ONLY mechanic to have them do the engine work. That way I know it's done right and more importantly, I save the time. The goal is to make this car as reliable as possible, and get the work done b4 winter, or heck even b4 fall, sets in. I have some good resources to use in pulling the engine, i.e THIS BOARD, a few manuals, and Miles Fox's web site, but I have a question as to how to really minimize and facilitate the work. Question #1: What the best way to deal with the intake manifold, i.e. Do I leave all the fuel and electical lines, etc. connected to it, disconnect if from the block and set it aside (e.g. on the shock tower)? Is this possible? Or should I leave it connected to the block? This will probably turn out to be a long thread, but right now this is my main question. If anybody has any more good tech articles or links, please add them! Thanks! Blake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
