Default Intake

Is there a kit for the intake that I will need when I do the Tune-up?

Kit? There is a gasket for the upper intake that you should replace if you are removing it to do spark plug wires.

While you have the manifold off be sure to tighten the valve cover as well, it uses an 8mm 12 point socket. It will be the only way to get to the two bolts that are covered by the manifold.

Might as well check the valley pan bolts, some rear ones have been found finger tight. And it will be easy to put a fuel pump pressure tester on while doing this gasket.

You do not need to replace the upper intake metal gasket when/if removing the upper manifold, yes, they are around $40 but they are metal and if you are careful you will not damage it,
Who's wires and plugs are you using, makes a big difference?

I bought E3s and wires before joining this site. I have had success with the E3s but they are just the Exact brand.

Atlantic British probably wants to make more money off of it, and it still cheaper than dealer parts. When considering the recommendation not to replace it, for $10 do you really want to risk having to remove the intake again?

Kalel, which E3's did you install? I have recently switched to them with surprising results.
As for the intake gasket, A.B. $39.95 price is what most all sites charge, not sure what $10 gasket others are referring to.
