My TE is leaking oil and I can only trace it to the rear rocker cover gaskett..

1. I need a step by step Guide to remove the Intake Manifold...

2. While I have it off (The Intake Manifold) I will be replacing the rear Bank spark plugs..

3. I have done the front rocker cover and it leaks no more , so I can only assume the rear will be the same... I just have no Idea how to go about it as I have not worked on a East West V-6 Before..

On a scale of 1-10, How would you rate this job??

I got a Quote and it was $350 to remove the rear plugs and Replace the rear rocker cover, I know most of it will be labour as the Spark Plugs all up are $75 and the Gasket is $30.. So I cannot imagine it being that expensive if I can do it myself...

i just did this mate
give yurself an hr or so to get it done

u wanna undo 5 bolts on the front of the plenum and 3 at the back,
there are a couple of other electrical plugs on it aswell just a couple of screws,
unscrew 4 from the throttle body and 2 from the accelerate cable...

thats pretty much it then just lift off the plenum and then you'll be right to do yur rocker cover as you've done the front

:D :D
