Got it done with no issues. Did use 6mil plastic and taped the entire engine bay except for the work area.
One fuel injector pulled out with the intake. Was going to replace seals without seal tool kit but decided it was too risky.
Found that Autozone had the seal tool kit, free rental, yeah. So, pulled all injectors, cleaned, re-sealed. If you don't know how to do it check youtube.
I didn't use the seal tool at first to reinstall white nylon seal, used bic pen cap to slide it on with my fingers. Did it using a magnifying headset so I could tell I didn't nick up the seal but even after I compressed it with the dye's it still wiggled more than the 3 others after install. But, no leaks thus far.
I am returning the HF 20lb blaster as it clogged constantly. I used a 3/8" compression fitting with a cut 3/8 chrome toilet feed line.
Also used a white nylon pool pump hose I had laying around from one of those cheap inflatable pools from wally world. One end had a smooth area you put a clamp on for the pump motor. It fit like it was made for the intake opening. Drilled a hole at the top about 6" back. When the blaster worked well it did a great job. I would say it only took a minute per opening. Used 100lb pressure.
I also used a pick for right behind the valve guides and flushed the area with cleaner and pulled the dirty liquid out with HF pneumatic oil extractor.
I did find when my intake was warrantied last year the tech did not put back the brace under the intake and later found that it was common for the dealers not to put it back. Lazy!
If I had to do it again I'd definitely use the Walnut shell blast but not the tank models from HF as I think part of the issue is the rust at the bottom of the tanks keep the media from sliding into the center output area.
I'd get the grey plastic open type, plus it's cheaper from HF and use the fine grit. I would try to find something more narrow than the 3/8" toilet feed line for the end of the blaster hose.
I would make sure I had the seal kits and tool rented from Autozone.
Make sure you know how to remove all plugs without breaking them.
I pulled the intake off with the throttle body attached. Removed the entire lower pipe.
Car runs amazingly better. At 47K it was not as bad as many pics I've seen online but still not good. I think with the tune, better oil, more frequent changes, getting on it more often it should go to 100k without issue before needing it again.
