I searched for this but could not find a comprehensive list. Long story short, the intake manifold is coming off this upcoming weekend, I plan on addressing the following items:
VSV for EGR
EGR removal and cleaning (I read there were gaskets for this-are there two?)
Fuel Filter
TB gasket (I cleaned the TB <1 month ago), I buggered up my new gasket over this weekend when I took the TB body off to access the VSV.
New vacuum/fuel lines
Injectors-I don't think this will work this time around, I plan on removing the intake on Saturday or Sunday and I need the vehicle on the following Tuesday, so I plan on getting the injectors when I do the headgasket later on this summer.
This one is out of left field but are the oxygen sensors easier replacing when the intake is off or does it not make a difference? (Truck is a 96 with 172K so I would like new O2 sensors sometime soon).
Anything else I am forgetting?
Any pitfalls or problems areas I need to watch out for? I read and it sounds like the EGR removal is tricky with some studs?
Thanks everyone!
