Re: Removing the Inlet manifold on a 1G-GTE

It's very easy to remove it once it's out of the car, I did that on the weekend.
In between the inlet manifold and the head is the TVIS which is the Toyota Variable Intake System, which is basically about a 10 mm spacer that houses these little butterflys which change which inlet runners are being used. If you are using the standard management then these will be being used. However, removing the tvis system doesn't have to be done to take the inlet manifold off, just be aware that it will look like the inlet manifold is coming off in two pieces when it is infact not. It's the TVIS that's coming off with the inlet manifold. you can just push the tvis block back onto the head and it'll stay there by itself.
As for the bolts. They aren't easy to get to unless you have the right tools. The cam cover won't particularly make any difference to your ability to get to the bolts, it's the bolts underneath that your going to have difficulty with it hte engine is still in the car. You'll need to put your hands up underneath the manifold to get to those bolts. It may even be worth while removing the oil filter to allow slightly easier access..
Good luck.
