Tracked down a #4 misfire on my Wife’s 98GT to a crack in the intake manifold heater hose nipple. It was leaking ond pooling in the #4 plug hole causing the misfire.
So I have to replace the manifold. I had planned to eventually do a PI swap, it now seems the time.
I already have a good set of heads with cams, Intake, coolant pipe, and alternator bracket.
I’ll get a gasket kit and head bolts. I’ve got a few good write ups on the PI swap and I’m going through the stickies so I know the basics. I previously replaced the timing chains and guides, so I’m familiar with the motor.
Questions:
1. What is the preferred gasket set? This is a daily driver BTW.
2. How hard is it to do the head swap with the engine in the car? Anything I need to worry about?
3. Any other parts I need to find?
