It took me a few days too, but i was also a little distracted and tied in some side projects.

 

Got it all done today. Started at 10am, ended at 10pm. Wouldn't have taken me so long if the front right intake manifold bolt didn't snap off inside the head. Pretty simple straight forward job, definitely goes back together faster then it comes apart in my opinion. Most of the time is spent in cleaning, but it is well worth it. Took a wire brush on a drill to the kegger and it polished it up pretty nice. Whoever came up with the idea of shaving the heads off the old manifold bolts to use them as dowels to line up the manifold is a genius, worked very nicely.

 

didn't it take you two weeks on your axle seals?

lol, they say the best things in life take time, not sure if that includes axle seals and plenum gaskets

 

yeah, if i didn't have the camaro then i would get my projects done a lot faster.
have you ever replaced the axle seals in a dana 44? that isn't a quick job.
when i replaced my driver seal and got it back together, i had to take it back apart to change the passenger seal because it started leaking too.
