After living with the infamous red gasket intake manifold vacuum leak problem for sometime now, I decided to replace it with a new green one. What a "PITA." getting to the bolts. Anyone got any hints to make this easier than brut force removal of everything on the left side of the engine? It looks like I'm going to need to even drain the coolant to remove the thermo housing. I can imagine what a dealer would charge for all this work, wow!

Can't wait for the Battery Electric Vehicles...no intake manifold gaskets.
