I want to tackle the job, but im just wondering the difficulty of it. It seems pretty easy to me however ive never done this type of job before. Most i have done is install my exhaust and replace the Throttle body. Should i go for it?

 

What kind of repair? Do you mean remove and replace?

 

I didn't think it was that difficult. I printed out instructions for the repair I found at www.ProjectTransAM.com and didn't have any problems. That was the first time I had ever done anything like that as well. So I'd say if you take your time and know what you're up against ahead of time it shouldn't be a problem.

 

While most intake help guides I have seen here are good and informative, make sure to do not take certain advice.

Do not use sandpaper when cleaning gasket areas. Some guides say to actually do that.. Ridiculous..

You do not need to let the car sit for 24 hours for the sealant to cure, let alone even 2 hours. Put the car back together and drive it.

Use very good quality sealant and this is the most important aspect when doing an intake leak. I prefer GM Grey sealant which you can pick up at any dealer.

 

I would definitely let it sit over night before driving the car. After a few hours its not even hard. Re-torque the bolts after awhile, too. Jared also gave me a few tips to "score" the block and intake where you're laying down the RTV. Also carry the RTV up on to the intake gaskets. Make it a big bead, nothing small. Also, use something on the bolts (RTV, sealent).
