i currently have my plenum and runners and injectors off right now. and it was a pain to get them off. well ok not so much a pain, but about an hour of work. and i don't really wanna have to do this again when i get my new cam. so can i just pull the base\runners\plenum as one big assembly next time when i decide to change my cam?

 

Unfortunatly, no. At least in my attempt to save disassembly time, the runners shrouded the intake manifold bolts to the point that you couldn't access them to take them out.

 

Sure,

If You can figure out a way to Magically Remove the Manifold bolts.

Its not really that big of a deal... The Small inconvience of removing the Runners is gonna pale in comparison to the rest of the crap you have to remove to Change the Cam.

 

hmm ok. i guess i didnt really take a close look at where the base bolts are. oh well ill probably have the valve covers off anyways so i bet it won't be as difficult getting to those stubborn runner bolts. thanks guys!

 

Word of advise, don't take off the valve covers unless your working under the valve covers. The provide a good barrier against things being dropped into the head and falling into the lifter valley. Intake bolts have a way of doing that.
