Ramon Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Hello everyone I'm here to ask your opinion and help again. I want to replace the gaskets from the head cover of the engine in both sides the only thing I have problem guessing how to remove is the canister hoses that are in the manifold I was checking the user manual but it doesn't show if pressure must be released or special care about it before remove it actually I am not sure is is liquid or vapor in all hoses are under high pressure so here are my questions. If is really necessary to remove it or there is some easy and fast way to do it? Should I remove the pump fuel fuse and star the engine so the fuel pressure releases? the main problem I saw is in the driver seat side cover (USA model) as is under the manifold intake and all that air system Am I missing something else to remove ? thank you for your help Jose Ramon here are the pictures of the oil leaking from there I tighten the screws but the leak still so I decide to replace the gaskets under this is the other side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Hmmmm, I've done mine on my TBI and it was fairly easy. Yours looks like a PITA because of the MPFI crap covering everything... The crank case ventilation hoses just come off if it's the same as the TBIs. They're stiff, so be careful. I broke one and had to make a run to NAPA for some odd piece of hose that would happen to work. And I don't see any gasket sealer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unccpathfinder Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 (edited) heh...this is not a fun job...you have to disconnect all of the harnesses and vaccum lines then there are nuts (that may only be for the lower intake) and hex head bolts holding the upper intake on remove those and then you should be able to get to all the phillips head screws which are a PITA to keep tight...next time i have it off i'm swapping them to bolts Edited April 4, 2009 by unccpathfinder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
