So I had a Hondata intake manifold gasket laying around, and I decided I would finally get around to installing it this weekend. Everything was going fine (slow, but fine) until I got to the lower intake manifold bolts... It took me about 30 - 45 minutes and a lot of swearing, just to get my socket onto the 1st lower bolt (and there are 4 I believe). But the thing is, I know it is going to be even harder to install them, than take them off.

So is there anyone with experience with this particular job, willing to help me out? Would be willing to pay for your time, of course. Otherwise I'll be putting everything back together and be taking it to a local shop.

Thanks

 

Sorry, I can't help you as I've never tried it before, but goodluck!

 

I assume you've long since figured this out, but you might get a better reponse from the "under the hood" forum if you haven't already tried there.

Good luck!
