it's simple, don't worry about it. just make sure you have a really dull object to hammer it off of the intake manifold. it doesn't have to be done too hard, but after a while it starts to stick onto the intake manifold (most likely cause of the gasket).

If your going to bore out the TB are you also going to have your intake manifold done as well?
I just don't see the benefit of doing just the TB, because the manifold is still the same life blood sucking size as before. So I would think you would have to do both to see any real benefits.
or I'm just missing something...
