Yea...gotta remove the plenum. You don't have to remove it completely though, just undo the EGR lines, unbolt the plenum, and lift the plenum up and out of the way. I tied it up out of the way with the windshield washer fluid lines <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" />


One tip...don't over torque the valve cover bolts. They WILL break...don't ask me how I know! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> The FSM shows proper bolt torquing sequence which is major pita....on one side I followed the procedures, other side I did it my way (and broke a bolt in the process) But after six months or so they still don't leak.

If I had to do it over again, I'd try to find some studs to replace the bolts. Makes install much easier. ARP makes some good fasteners with the rounded heads to help locate the nuts. Maybe they make some metric ones to fit the 'runner?
