Got the intake manifold off today, but the lifters are stuck in the block. Going to try and hunt down a removal tool so I can remove them without destroying them. I’m only replacing them in that one cylinder (technically, i should replace all of them AND the cam) but this is just to get the truck down to Jersey without paying out the nose for a flatbed to tow it.
Weather permitting I may tackle the rest during the week, but most likely I’ll worry about it next weekend when I can dedicate a few hours of daylight to it.
