L36 upper & lower Intake Gasket Replacement - Factory service manual scans

All images are located in this photobucket album. I suggest saving them to your computer and then putting them in order. They may not be numbered, but it shouldn't be hard to figure out the order of them...

The image where they are removing the coolant elbows, I didnt have a problem removing mine but some people do and I was seeing if anyone had an idea of a way to let them come out easier since Ill be doing this job on my 97 and I dont want them to get stuck in there

Pull it out. If it breaks, needle nose pliers or a pick tool (or a cotter pin removal tool).

Nice Matt. I click on them and get an advertisement for a porn site. :lol:

Seriously though, it's excellent to have those!

Looks like I might need to rehost them somewhere else if that's the case. I haven't seen anything like that when I click on any of those images. A pop up with some wind turbine or something on it did show up on the first picture I clicked though.

Rehosted on photobucket...

Now this may be a stupid question, but i honestly don't know. Does the L36 have the same issues that the L67 does? Was the recall on both, or just the L67? Sory for the NOOB question.

*I also do realize that the recall wasn't on the UIM or LIM

[WhatTheFehl]

Similar problem, but I'm pretty sure the recall is different.

the l67's were valve cover gaskets, the N/A 3800 got drip trays to band--aid the problem.

I just wanted to chip in some videos that I found on YouTube tonight which I thought were big helpers for people like me. :)

There are 7 parts in total. The motor in the vid is a Series I, but it's still pretty damn good.

From my first post: "All images are located in this photobucket album. I suggest saving them to your computer and then putting them in order. They may not be numbered, but it shouldn't be hard to figure out the order of them..."

No it wasnt hard to figure it out, It just threw me off when I was looking for the torque specs when I did this to the 97s new motor a couple nights ago.

And I didnt read the first post since your edit lol
