I am wondering what the technical names are for these parts. I am also wondering if "green/purple/blue" are all one piece?

Red= ?
Green= ?
Purple= ?
Blue= ?

Ok..the red part is a shaft that is part of the "actuator( for your 5/6 ports)
YOu can remove that actuator if you undo those 2 10mm nuts,and slide the Black plastic of the "hinge"..it just sits on that pin,,no c clip or anything.
The other thing there is the port actuator shafts,and if you remove the 2 phillips screws it will come out,,BUT make sure you note WHERE the position is,as the Shaft CLIPS on to the port with a Plastic "fork like" clip.
The green and purple are ONE unit,.until you disconnect it from the port( inside the port sleeve)
They can break to.
you may be able to pull the port out IF you lube the **** out of it.

Yes.

just right of the "blue" piece, continuing in the direction of the "blue" piece, is that the port sleeve? or somewhere in that vicinity?

The port sleeve is actually the part labelled "AUXILIARY" in the pic, a small hollow cylinder. Often times when the lower intake manifold is removed the port sleeves stay inside the irons since there tends to be some carbon buildup around the aux port.

See the jpgs attached. I wrote something wrong on one. I said the sleeve/port was about a inch in diameter. It's probably closer to two inches in diameter. See third jpg attached first.

I pulled a series four lower intake out of my shed and took these jpgs. I show the sleeve/port that is the cylinder.

I show the crosspin inside the cyliinder that mates with the fork on the end of your shaft your playing with.

I show the fork on the end of the shaft that mates with the cylinder.

I show the cylinder hanging on the end of the shaft/fork.

The pictures are dark and the parts dirty but this is a general idea.

That shaft is not one solid ridgid piece. It has flex built into it thru a rubber coupling so don't force it to turn too much or you'll break things on the shaft.

More jpg showing dark pictures of a series four shaft removed from the manifold.

It's not the shaft that is sticking, it's the sleeve/valve/cylinder and you cannot access it from that small shaft hole. And the fork must mate with the cross pin in the sleeve/valve in only one way. I'd hesitate to remove the shaft because I'd never ever be sure I put it back in to mate properly with the cross pin attached to the sleeve/valve. I could install it and completley mis mate the two items and never know it.

The sleeve/valve carbons up and won't rotate because of the carbon around its outside.

I was wrong about the shaft having a rubber coupling. That *coupling* is just a spring like wire part of the shaft that has a lot of give in it. LIke one end of the shaft may not move at all but the other half will rotate ??? a half round with spring like tension on it.

You can pu these jpg in Paint or Pictures and blow them up a bit to make them clearer viewing.

thanks for those pics
