Jon,
Believe it or not, the intake hasn't come back from the coating shop yet.
The person that does their powder coating fell down and screwed up his back
a couple weeks ago. So the intake is not on yet.
I managed to wiggle one out last night. They are a tight fit up against the
head gasket. I should probably cut away the gasket to make life easier, but
we all know how that goes. I dis-assembled the one pulled. The worst part
was trying to squeeze everything back together to insert the retainer clip.
What a pain! I'm almost convinced to just order a new set, but...
I'll keep you posted how everything turns out.
Rich

I'm rekoning you already have everything back together?? You're gonna have
to pull the manifold, even if you could reach them through the head,
they're still held in place w/ the retainers... Unless perhaps you're an
othorscopic surgeon :)
