keep that motor covered!!!!! you don;t want waqter getting in anywhere while the top end is open...... and due to murphy's law, it will find a way in if you don;t cover it. a big garbage bag should fit over the top nicely.

oh no.... you need to remove that middle intake and the fuel rail. next step is valve covers, make sure you have everything set correctly on those valves
then put sealant on these two spots on each side, put gasket down and torque down valve covers.

yes, thats a heater hose for 85-86 v6's. the 87+ changed the design so if you replace the waterpump you might not get that nipple so dont turn the core in with the nipple.

Please tell me you put RTV sealant on the circled area's in this picture
that seals up the lower part of the intake, without RTV there, your going to be blowing oil out like crazy.

funny, i actually didnt the first time i put lower on... then i was looking closely at stuff to double check and noticed a big gap, took it all apart and re-did all of it, and put a nice thick bead there. ths is why i got so little done...
ok so so far all i have heard is valve covers....
should i start with some brackets? alternator? or do those last? i know im not putting the upper intake on untill last.. i still need a new exhaust manifold, egr, and every exhaust piece from y pipe down.

All brackets and engine mounted accessories can go on last. After you get the valve covers on, do the middle intake and fuel rail. You can then start looking at the vacuum lines that go under the plenum since they have to be done before the plenum goes on.
Also, when you put the lower intake on, please tell me you didn't cut the intake gaskets. Since the pushrods go through part of the gasket, you have to remove the pushrods to put the gaskets on. Some people just cut the gasket instead, but that will probably leak later. Since you had to install the pushrods anyway, I doubt it, but I wanted to give you a heads up.
Looks like it's coming along nicely.
Do you have a Chilton's or Haynes book? If so, follow it step by step on the assembly process. That should help a lot. You'll have to read up on the disassembly, since it will probably jump from chapter to chapter for each subsystem, and then tell you assembly is reverse of disassembly.[This message has been edited by Formula88 (edited 09-17-2006).]
