im taking my intake manifold off my 88 na in a little while to port and poilsh it . i know i need new gaskets and o rings. I'm replacing all the vacum lines with silicon ones. Its all getting a fresh coat of paint too! silver and black. here are a few questions though

do i need new air bleeds?
Is 24$ for the intake/engine gasket right?
i'm missing the right actuator on my LIM ,is that bad?
what else should i do while it's off?

 

anyone?

 

Missing the right actuator? You mean the actuator for the 6 port induction?

Yes... That is bad... I hope you have them both wired open then? (or at least both in the same position)
No point having no actuator there but still have the sleeve in there.

 

hmmm, that is bad. i have no clue why it's not there. that means the 6 ports arent opening right? the car seems to be running good though.

 

yea it might be around $24 for the intake gaskets and all. and unless your running premix i recommend you inspect and replace your omp lines as well while you have everything off. and get the actuator replaced as well. its not doin you much good without it

 

I have an extra actuator so i'l fix that. do i need new air bleeds and where can i get a OMP?

 

also, this is my first time doing this. is there anything i should know/ precautions to take? i'm doing this project with a spare intake manifold and want to make shure i have everything right before i swap them out. also what sealent should i use on the gaskets?

 

You will only need air bleed plates if you break your existing ones.
