George,
I'm really close to the idea that I am going to have to take this intake manifold off. I have a few different gasket materials here, but naturally, nothing high temp.
I have a diagram here in front of me and the air restrictor valve (butterfly)is just plain froze up in there. It is at an approximate 45* angle, so I can't get to the screws as solid as I would want if I were to try to take the butterfly off. Also, anyone here can tell ya what is gonna happen with those screws. They always head south. I have some angle screwdrivers but then I won't be able to put enough "umf" behind it and will strip the screw head. I'm really not understanding how it can be staying in one place while I am moving the lever (which, by the way is still extremely stiff).
I've been spraying and waiting and spraying and then tapping with a ball hammer to get that lever to move. I've been tapping (carefully, of course) the outside areas to try to loosen up the crud around it. The whole air restrictor assembly, for lack of a better word, needs to be taken apart and cleaned up with steel wool/ wire brush, etc. Even if I take the manifold off though, I have a feeling I am not going to get it apart.
I can see the small pin that would allow me to take the lever off, but it wouldn't solve the problem of getting the butterfly and shaft out.
If I could get the whole assembly out of there, I could clean it up and make it functional again (I think).
Any suggestions you want to throw at me for getting it apart? Am I missing something that aides in removal of the whole ball of wax?
Thanks!
Diana
