Got the manifold off last night, carbon is not good, but no the worst.
but in cyl 2 i found a complete dogbone from the intake manifold just sitting lodged in there.
but cyl 1 has a valve hanging open with a piece of the dogbone in there. My biggest fear is that the valve is bent.
Peered in thru the IM looks like 1 flap is dislodged, will take apart the manifold tonight to inspect further…but the intake valve is my biggest fear at the moment. Will pull it out and see if it seals…
and those knock sensor connectors under the manifold were a PITA!
Cyl 1
