Unfortunately I don't have my factory manual here at school with me, so I can't help you on the mechanics of taking that baby off.


Do you leak boost at all?

IM gasket good?

Manifold bolted tightly against the head and not loose?


I had some crappy Hondata washers on my IM studs/bolts one time... totally skewed the torque numbers to tighten them down and I leaked vacuum horribly.
