Head Gasket Update
Couple of things. The intake manifold is now mounted. Not torqued but bolted on well enough for a stopping point. A few notes to make for future reference:
- Make sure breather tube is well cleaned and pressed into bottom block before putting on intake
- Possibly put head on with intake attached next time. May be easier than struggling to attach intake nuts blindly with nearly no space to get to studs.
- Remember to attach rear coolant hose if going that route.
Sometimes the order of a process can make or break the job. Fortunately it wasn’t a deal killer this time.
On a different note, thanks to Ann for providing Sean and I with a nice dinner and movie for our belated birthday gifts. TBS would be proud :-p
