Does that work? I was going to use break cleaner. I was reading a few threads about it and that was mentioned and a gasket scraper.

Yes. I used it to get all the old RTV off my oil pans and timing covers. Let it sit as long as it says to and then use a plastic scraper. I also used and green scrubby pad.

Ok Thanks. I'll def use it then.

I bet a razor will be all you need not much surface area compared to the timing covers

I wonder who told YOU about this?

Guys and Gals I have news. Good news firsts: I have my manifold installed. Thanks to Pops for the extra hands and tools. Next thanks to Bombay. If it weren't for him talking me through the vaccum lines I'd still be lost but I have it now! Thanks guys. The car is AWESOME. Everything Tuko referenced via his review is true. I'm throughly enjoying it. I don't know if you were have read the following thread but if not there's my review of the seller and the tune:

I'm very happy with the manifold and the tune so far. The EGR removal took a bit longer than anticipated but in the end it was def worth it. So far I'm CEL free as well. Hopefully it'll stay that way. The resistor should def help me there.

Ok now for the bad news... No dynos. I know I know. I tried though. My intentions were to have the car dyno'd before the install and then dyno'd after and show the gains. Well there are 3 dynos in drving distance to me. Well out of the 3 I was only able to get talk to one. I called numerous times and sent emails but I didn't get a return from the 2 closest. Go figure. The one that I spoke with was the shop that originally flashed the car with UpREV. It prob won't be until later in the month before I'm able to IF even then to get the car dyno'd. I'll post my before manifold tune that is found below with the new one.

Very nice! Post some pics. I wanna see!!

[TUKO]

Fudge it! Get a dyno before and after a retune.

Congrats and glad you like it.

When will you have a dyno done and what are you reving out to? It still amazes me no dynos after 8 months...

[dzaccord]

If I do the dyno it'll be later in the month. I was planning on having it done but I can't make the shops take my money. That's the down side of living in Eastern NC. The shops that do have the equipment don't have good customer service. I called 2 and emailed throughout the week before to get it lined up but neither returned my calls or emails. I'm def happy with the results. Dyno or no dyno you can feel the difference though. The dyno was just for sharing purposes. The gains are definitely noticed.

How much more fuel did you have to add? What did you AFR change to before you corrected it and at what RPM?

Nothing is more frustrating then wanting to give a company money for their products and not being able to.
