Message all sorts of others things end up needing to be done.

- PCV valves and hoses. Hoses come off as part of this but often they need to be cut due to being rock hard. And while in there - the $10 PCV valves (2 of them) seemed worth the trouble.

- Under plenum coolant lines if not already deleted - at least the feeder lines will probably need to be cut to get them off. So, while I'm in there - might as well do them all

- The injector connectors which have to be unplugged, oh the brittle old ones broke or are really shot - so while I'm in there lets do these too.

Get the idea?

You'll also need a upper to lower plenum new gasket - so get one.

- Definitely do the intake valve gaskets.

- Use Permatex Ultra Copper RTV on the exhaust valves, half moon gaskets and to reseal the VTC solenoids on the intake valve cover rears - you'll be very happy with this RTV. Works good on coolant fittings too - but you won't need it for this job.
