how to change intake manifold gasket M20B25?

[e30topdown]

I had a leak at my intake manifold and if it hadn't been for this post, I wouldn't have known what to do with the oil return tube. Mine has evidently been leaking oil for a long time. A po evidently bent it when they put it back in.





Anyway, the tube should be straight and round like the top of the tube on mine. Just in case anyone runs into the same thing.

I also powder coated the mani while it was off.



Should look really good when I do the same thing to my valve cover next time I adjust my valves.

Attached pics if they don't show up here.

Thanks again for this post. It really helped me out.

Just did the manifold gaskets, TB seals and gaskets. This post really helped. but NOBODY mentioned the goddamn bracket for the harness. I think I left like 2 hours figuring out how the heck it goes back on :D
