Thanks Ned,
I'm ordering parts - I'm getting the 2 intake manifold/crossover pipe
gaskets, new fuel pipe clips and new GPs.
Is there anything else I should have on hand? I already have 1/4" & 3/8"
torque wrenches - but it sounds like it'll be easier if I get some wobble
sockets or extensions -
Except for having a minature mechanic in my tool box - is there anything I'm
forgetting? Is any gasket compound recommended for the intake manifold
gasket or does it go on dry?
Thanks for your and others comments -
Sincerely,
Larry T ('74 911, '67 MGB, 91 300D Turbo)

Larry:
I agree with everything the others posted about what to have ready.
I've done it with as little as a new manifold gasket. But I don't
recommend
going that economically.
But I might add that a torque wrence is useful for getting the mainfold
back
on tight enough without
stripping the aluminum head. My 606 engine uses torx (sp?) type bolts to
fasten the manifold - so be ready in case that is what your engine has. I
bought what seems to be a good enough 1/4" torque wrench from Harbor
Freight
for ~$10 IIRC.
