If your looking to change get the injector cups and o rings you would want to remove them. I find if you didn’t want to replace those parts that you will more likely break some of the injector baskets and mess up the o rings. So it’s just a way to prevent possibly breaking any more parts.
So after doing additional research, I found the 3.0 does not have injector seats. The injectors just sit in the manifold. Either way. I will be pulling the manifold off in the coming weeks to change my intake runner, so I will be taking additional pictures for everyones reference! 8)

That will be helpful. Thanks for the post. I was trying to understand originally what you were talking about in your first post. I was thinking I’m not sure what he is looking to replace

Well, the pictures I took do not add anything additional to this thread. However, after pulling my manifold, switching out my injector o-rings, fuel filter, intake manifold gasket, and the intake runner, my car is running better than ever. My fuel trims prove that one of these repairs fixes the issues I had been having. I have about 70 miles on the car with no CEL and before, the CEL was tripping every 25 or so miles. I plan to drive the car every day this week so I can get it fully up to temp so that my readiness monitors can set and so I can get the car inspected. I only work .7 miles from home, so I will simply be out cruising for fun every morning before work. We are looking at quite a bit of snow this week here in Philly, so I dont mind crusing ;D.
Look how much gunk was on my injectors. The car has 131K on it with pretty intensive service records to 90k and I bought it with 99K. Since I’ve owned it, I’ve kept up with service and have even done a few BG44K services. My intake ports were pretty gunky from all of that moist black carbon that we find on the intake actuator valve. Heres to hoping my problems are fixed!

You’re telling me! Tbh, i dont think my intake manifold gaskets were leaking. I think my issues were coming from the broken drivers side pcv and the fuel injector orings. Just looking at that gunk its safe to assume air was making its way past the o-rings. Oh well. I gave her another cold start this morning and got it up to temp. I think I need 2 more full heat cycle drives for my monitors to all reset. Plus, I get my china vcds cable today, so I will probably be registering vcds lite to see what I can do.
