For those of you attempting this job on your own when it comes to cleaning the plenum mating surfaces remove the lower plenum plate, clean all the mating surfaces on the plenum, wipe down and blow out the inside of the plenum with compressed air then re-install your lower plenum plate it will greatly reduce the chance of things making their way into the plenum and getting trapped inside.
Great video i just finished doing this procedure for the first time and it was a huge help, found that the original plenum gasket had broken and popped out. I was burning a gallon or so a week of oil, kinda made it look like i had a diesel rolling coal but definitly not good.
my bolts came out like butter , While everything is apart replace, waterpump, thermostat, coolant sensor&sender, valvecover gaskets, crankshaft sensor, and anything else while you have easy access I use anti seize on most all bolts during reassembly
Great video. One thing, take the cap of the valve on the fuel rail and decompress the fuel system. That way fuel doesn’t spray out when you disengage the fuel line.
Great video…I would have also done the valve cover gaskets since you have everything exposed and easily accessible to replace them as well. Otherwise thank you and I really enjoyed the video.
You should also clean the whole intake before installing the plenum plate and the new gasket and you should probably just go on ahead and put in an aluminum plenum plate..
Mostly right but throw those front and back gaskets in the trash. Use ultra black or grey gasket maker with a 1/4 inch bead. The pre-made silicone (or worse cork) tend to not stay around long if you ever rev your engine to high rpm. Also your plenum is probably going to leak again in less than 50k miles. But other than that everything looked great.

How did u remove broken bolts?
awesome video. i will be referring to this likely multiple times when i replace my intake gaskets in the near future.
my bolts came out like butter ,
While everything is apart
replace, waterpump, thermostat,
coolant sensor&sender,
valvecover gaskets,
crankshaft sensor, and anything else while you have easy access
I use anti seize on most all bolts during reassembly

Yes, any info on removing the broken bolts? That is the only thing stopping me from attempting this.
How did u remove the broken bolts can a man drill straight though and put a bolt nut on it mine broke on the front driver side

What about the steel line that runs from exhaust to I Think EGR that is connected directly to the back of the intake?
The vacuum line that he connects @ 38.28. Where does that run to? Mine is off.

Brocken bolts?

Your video is great just very dark
It broke cause you used an impact dummy
