1/4" hand ratchet with a socket ought to get you in there easy enough.Originally posted by Neil R. Lipes View Post
Do the PCV parts and vacuum lines while the plenum is off. The PCV valve has a rubber grommet and a screen under it that are always in bad shape after this much time. The grommet should be rubber, not rock and the screen is always clogged solid. Also worth a good hard look at the back of the motor while you're in there to figure out if the lower intake needs to come off and be re-gasketed. It often pukes oil down the back and looks like a rear main seal. of course, a non-working PCV system contributes to this. Oh, and also I'd replace the two coolant hoses that go to the EGR spacer. THe are just 1/4" fuel hose, but if one blows it will dump coolant out pretty quickly. They're also something of a bastard to get at with the intake in place.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).
