Okay...if you are pulling the intake off of the head before removal...then yes. But I would advise pulling the intake with the head, then remove it on the bench..save you a pile of time and bandaids. Also did you make sure and pull the 12mm bolt that is hidden in the pool of oil under the distributor drive gear? Dont forget that your PAIR system piping and heater return are also bolted to the back of the head. Just go about things real careful like so you dont break a hard pipe, tweak the head or booger up any wiring. ~Darin <img border="0" alt="[Baby]" title="" src="graemlins/baby.gif" />
