What all should i get for this project?

 

Buy the selected items together from Amazon

Felpro MS 98014 T Intake Manifold Gasket $59.32

Dorman 47065HP Elbow Type Heater Hose $9.83

Dorman 615-180 Intake Manifold $70.88 (Only the UIM gasket is req'd, but I recommend replacing the whole thing with this improved Dorman).

ACDelco 131-120 GM Original Equipment 195 Degrees Engine Coolant Thermostat with Gasket $11.47


You'll also need new coolant, motor oil and oil filter. (You need to do an oil change after the repair since coolant leaks into the oil during the repair).

Thank you for that list plumbob and thank you for that video link p343. Does the video include the torque specs for it?

 

In the Haynes manual is says
lower intake to cylinder head bolts/nuts132in-lbs
upper intake to to lower bolts/stud 89 in-lbs


If you have the money, the Haynes manual is a very informative resource and can be found at your local parts stores. It has great instructions and pictures for your repair too.

 

Note the "inch pounds" in the torque specs. You're gonna' need a torque wrench that reads "inch pounds" not "foot pounds".

 

Thanks plumbob I meant to point that out. Good thing you said something before he started snapping off bolts!!

 

All info listed above is great info. Only thing I will add is there is a sequence the Lim and uim bolts should be tightened too. I can't remember off top of my head though.

Also I hate felpro so I would suggest all OEM parts. That's just me though, a lot of people use felpro with no issues. Make sure them coolant elbows are the metal ones

 

When I get home I will try to copy the torque sequence out of the Haynes manual and post it

 

Damn..i forgot to order a haynes manual with the parts... it's only $15 at amazon but like $30 at autozone. I'm sure i can find a diagram online though. I received the packages today. The LIM gasket set has me quite confused due to all the extra gaskets that are included. I hope it all makes more sense once the LIM is taken out lol. I also when with the ATP UIM due to all the negative reviews from the dorman one. I also haven't had good luck with dorman parts on my jeep. Had to buy a in/lbs torque wrench too. Had to read what p343 said twice i read I was like "132 ft/lbs"?!?! thats more than the wheels need.
