Yesterday Thursday 10 , i finally was able to take off the intake plenum and header . Let me start by telling you its a PITA when the motor is still in the car ! I am a big guy so i had to bend my arms in shapes i never thought was possible to get acces to the bolts but at least a the good part was that the bolt weren't rusted nor jammed . So here are the pics and ill follow with a quick question . I broke some hoses i forgot to take off . My question is The TDC in the manual isnt written in way that i understand it they say that a bright chin link reprensent TDC but i have 2 ? one with wrinting on it and that doesnt in both my book haynes and the FSM they dont say at wich mark they need it i got dots 1 2 3 on the cam sprocket and does it need to be on top or 45 degree to the right when i opened it up the silver link with writings was at 45 degree to the right and had dot 3 under it i wish i couldve taken a picture but i played with it i forgot to take a picture . I hope my question is clear if not tell me hehe .

How much do the Ebay unit flow compare to the treadstone one should be your question . Take the best flowing unit . I just checked both unit and the ebay one that Jeffer has say they have 0.2 psi pressure drop that is great efficency but i doubt those numbers since treadstone being a well know companie has a 1.5psi drop ... im wondering who say the truth ?

Well yesterday and this afternoon i got some time to start disabling my Z to chabge the head gasket . I disconected everything and tag everything too ready to be lifted off with both manifolds on . Took a couple pictures . As soon as i took the bolts off and pry the cover to lift it up i saw coolant coming out . Then i took the cover off and found lots of water and oil . And i stoped their for today took off the fule rail to , that bugger was stuck had to cut the fuel lines . I got 2 bolts too that shred on me so ill need to find a way to take them out . Ill update more as i go along with this .

Happy B-Day Phil !
