I've searched for this on google and couldn't find a good answer.
I picked up a whole upper/lower HO intake manifold last month from ebay. Thought I got a good deal for it and they claimed it only had 90k miles on it when pulled. My ass. I get it here and the thing is coated with baked oil on the inside and some corrosion on the outside. With how it looks, this was not off a healthy engine by the time it was pulled. Whatever.
So, I'm pulling it all apart on the bench today and got the throttle body off. That was stuck- but didn't take too much effort. Get to the egr spacer and can't get it to budge more than 1/16". It is stuck good on the one bottom corner. I've been beating on this damn spacer for an hour now and getting know where. I'm about to take the sawsall and stick the blade between what space I do have and cut the f***er off and just let the local engine shop clean it and install some new studs.
Do I have any other options besides that?
