ok, maybe some of you are going to laugh at me for this.... all i have is a razor blade, and a dull gasket scraper, and some acetone. I WOULD RATHER SHOOT MYSELF IN THE FOOT THAN REPLACE THE INTAKE GASKET EVER AGAIN. it turns out that mazda did not replace one gasket, bad vac line, bad fuel line, or bad coolant line........ I AM VERY UPSET WITH THEM.
sorry needed to vent some steam...
but anyhow, 6 hours, (yes 6 hours) later, i have the gasket about 75% off.................(yes i wish i had better tools, and wasn't doing this in my back yard.....
), does anybody have any suggestions???,
btw will i have to sand the intake manifold now????, its getting kinda chewed

also there is a specific way you have to put the intake manifold on or it will leak, it's a tsb from mazda.

Blu GXL, can you elaborate on that special way to install the gasket. Which gasket are you talking about? Engine to manifold, or lower to up intake manifold?
