    DATC codes

    LS V6 intake manifold tips

    I did all my COPs/plugs, all new blue seals for bolts/studs, upper/lower intake gaskets and the coolant 5 piece manifold between the radiator and the intake manifold all without draining any anti-freeze! The fuel rails are best to be removed by removing the bolts to the "L" brackets. The huge...
