I feel like I had the upper intake off when I did my valve covers. But I can't remember why?

Nice work on those parts! After having been thru a refurb on mine, I know what kind of work it is.
You will probably be further ahead just taking the intake off. It's the long way around, but it will ensure you have the gasket on right, torqued down right, etc.

Thanks man. The last Rim I did was much easier. But still some work. All good. I used the Aircraft Stripper to get most of the Clear Coat off. Then the Napa Aluminum Mage Wheel Cleaner. They both complimented each other, and made the work much easier.
