2018/10/02 - Valley Cover and Intake
I received the Valley Cover back from VRaptor VERY quickly (thanks, Shane!) and bolted it back on.
Valley Cover reattached
Plug location
There's a date code! Can you find it? This thing's pretty new!
Then the intake went back on. Several people reported needing to do some "surgery" to the intake manifold for clearance issues. I had none, it plopped back on without issue.
Painter's tape removed, first. I actually forgot to do that. I had threaded the first bolt by hand when I realized....
All torqued down!
As always, pay attention to torque specs!
Valley Cover:
8 ft-lbs, no particular designated sequence. I followed the intake manifold, couldn't hurt.

First pass, fully threaded
Second pass, 44 in-lbs

Estimated time: 1 hour
