So ive removed my valve covers, intake plenum and fuel rail for painting and replacing of the valve covers. Im about to start reinstalling, every thing is laid out nice and neet I know where it all goes. My main concern is getting it all together with out scratching/dent/damaging anything. Im thinking the valve covers followed by the fuel rail then the intake. Should i loosely install the fuel rail then get the intake plenum bolts started? they where a pain in the *** to get to. Any advice or do's and dont would be great.

thanks

 

I would do the valve covers last. Their bolts are usually the easiest to get to. Blue painters tape also works great for protecting surfaces from scratching.

For the intake, nothing helps more than an extra set of hands.
