I have found a fair amount of oil in the rear center spark plug tube. I think I need new valve cover gaskets. Problem is that in order to change those gaskets the intake manifold has to be removed. I can't find a write up on that procedure. The maintenence manual doesn't even address that. Anyone have a good procedure for removing that thing? I have heard that its not that hard to do.. just a little time consuming. If I can get it off I'll just go ahead and clean everything while I'm in there (TB, ect..). Any help would be appreciated..
