im putting new lifters in my 350 tpi because a couple are bad but i might as well replace them all. i want to know to remove to intake to access them so im not having any trouble or getting frustrated when i do replace them. so how do you remove the intake or access the lifters??

 

Removing the Plenum, runners, and intake manifold can be a bit of a process because of how crowded it really is in there, especially with the fuel rails, which I'm sure you're aware of.

The runners have 5 bolts I think, that hold it down onto the plenum and manifold. What's important here is that most of these bolts are different lengths - MAKE SURE you catalog what bolt came from where when you take it apart.

As I'm sure you know, there are many intake manifold bolts, too - these follow the same vien and will need to be accurately recorded. Idk your motor or car, but I know on my 89 Camaro, some of the boltholes are above the pushrods, and if you put in a bolt that's too long, it'll run into the pushrod. Obviously not good.

I think the last major point would be the fuel rails and logs. Its a kind of juggling act trying to put the runners and fuel rail to all line up and tighten down properly. I suggest getting a manual that can help you keep track of all you need to do.

I hope this helps some!
