I sheared a thermostat housing bolt off in the lower intake manifold. So i removed it and replaced the gaskets and took some photos in the process.

Did you use silicon under and on top of the blue gaskets at the corners? Good time for New injector o rings. Also some of us glue the pcv valve grommet in place because they like to pop free

Well done! Thanks for sharing
