Is this all the tools I need to fix Intake Manifold Leak?*PIC*
Is this all the tools I need to fix Intake Manifold Leak?*PIC*
I have all basic tools and the TB and Intake gaskets... In the pic is crowbar(if need to pry), Fuel line disconnect(E= 3/8", F= 5/16"), Gasket scraper, Dremel, and Copper 888 silicone gasket. Some people said this silicone isnt good enough, but I asked the guy at discount for the best **** they had, and they gave me this....
Im prolly gonna tackle this job in a week or so....jes making sure I have all the crap.

You forgot duct tape and a stalper gun!
Just kidding. You will need some sort of drain pan for the coolant and my #1 shop chemical carb cleaner, house brand from any major chain is fine. I have never used the ultra copper for manifold gaskets, usually ultra black. And some #2 Permatex non harding gasket sealer for the bolts that thread into an open hole, but that is me. Keeps oils from seaping out from under the bolt heads, has happened twice on me in 25 years. You may consider rounding up the 4 washers for the coolant lines on the back of the heads in case you have to take them off to take off the intake. Oh yeah i didnt see a stocked cooler or a poster of some hardbody chick selling some car part!

fuel line disconnect tool isnt really needed, you can just keep the line attached to the rails and move it all as one unit out of the way

"Score" the edges of the intake and block where you put RTV, that way it'll have something to grip onto.
