One thing I'll add...when you remove the coolant intake pipe, be careful not to nick the O-ring that seals it, or better yet have a new one on hand before you start. I say this because I've replaced my intake gaskets & T-stat before & had it all back together & running, only to find out that he coolant was leaking out around the O-ring that had gotten nicked.
I had to make up brand new cuss words to express how mad I was that I had to take the whole works apart again just to replace that #%^&*ing O-ring.

Happy wrenching. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
