haha. i definatly had an upper intake gasket leak, didnt even think about the lower until now. but now with the stuff thats spilled and how dirty it all is, i cant tell if i had a lower intake leak or not.
Since you said you got it to wigggle your going to need to replace it now anyway.

oh man youre right. i still cant get it out though. i only could feel one bolt in the rear of the engine. is there more than one or something? i am completely stumped as to why this wont come up and im running out of time
There is more then 4 bolts, there is one in the rear. Looking at my spare lower intake for my 96' there looks like there might be 11 bolts. Just by looking at it. Also you will need GM gasket sealer for the front and rear valley, thats where most leaks happen.

right now i have 13 bolts for the lower intake. should be all of them then.
i dont have the right side valve cover off right now but it doesnt look like its holding the lower intake on. do i have to remove that first?
(only reason i didnt is because i cant get to that bolt thats holding on the bracket from before.)
You might try to get that bolt from underneath if possible. I don't know........

I don't remember off the top of my head how many bolts are in the lower intake manifold, but I know there are two "hidden" bolts in it. There are bolts around the outside of it and also two bolts that are on the "inside" so to speak. By "inside" I mean that you can only access these bolts by removing the upper intake (which of course you have removed). The two "hidden" bolts are not on the outer perimeter of the intake. Most of the time they are covered up by a puddle of oil. Or maybe there's 4 of them... hell I don't remember; it's been a while :) In any case, there's an even number of bolts, so if you have 13 out, there's at least one more.

alright got it off, replaces the gasket and everything and now im putting the bolts for the lower intake back in. only problem is, the bolt hole in the rear doesnt seem to line up with anything. or i cant find the right hole or something. its like that whole thing just vanished. i checked and triple checked and its definatly lined up right and i have every other bolt in it except that rear one. those of you that have a spare lower intake sitting around, you wanna look and tell me if it was closer to the right or left side or center or anything that will help?????
ok forget that last question. but right now i have all the bolts in the lower intake but 1. 5 on each side and 3 "hidden" ones. and i have one bolt left over that i cannot find where it goes. anyone thats got a spare one to look at wanna tell me where the 14th bolt goes? its one of the smaller bolts not the 2 bigger ones.
If you found 3 hidden ones then there is a 4th. Should be one in each corner on the inside.

Just to think, I'll probably be doing this pretty soon too, but I'm doing the head gaskets with upgraded heads and new Comp lifters. I see what I will be facing. Although I will have Meatyshells helping. He has done his quite a bit, so it will probably be him doing most of the work.LOL

i dont know if youve ever done this kinda stuff before, but ive never done any engine work. thats why i had so many questions because i was completely in the dark. if you know what youre doing or have someone there who does, im sure it wont be very difficult at all.
i did find that sneaky bolt and have almost everything back together. just gotta connect stuff and get everything hooked back up. but one last question. when i was connecting the hose thing that goes into the drivers side header (i think its the egr) i cracked the metal tubing. yeah, blows. if i hook it all back together and run it like that, what will happen? a ticking exhaust leak? or worse? is there any way to fix it other than replacing the tube?
You could use some copper RTV, I've used it on my EGR.

Hey everyone! I've been trying to remove my transmission for two days now! I need to replace the clutch. Only thing I've got left holding the transmission...
Hello, so I changed the front bearings on the bird and the ABS inoperative light came on. I made a mistake of not removing negative battery cable. Now...
I usually have to double, triple my headlight switch for them to come up on my 97 Firebird. I cleaned all connections. Could it be the headlight switch...
