I haven't had to pull an intake of an inline since i was 16 and I'm 33 now. It'll be interesting to me too. The last one I did, I pulled the intake and exhaust as one piece. Nice thing is that the intake/exhaust gasket is one piece, and theres a gasket between the two manifolds also. Which i'm not haveing a problem with. I'll look at it real close, and if its good, I'll probably leave that one alone. I'll see how easy the bolts turn 1st. Going to be soaking everything down in pb blaster for a couple days and some good ol prayers.
