3.9L V8 Cooling System Question (Plastic Elbow Under the Intake Manifold)

[RigsLS]

You gotta have another reliable DD available to you if you want to own an LS (or three). Most DIY jobs are best not rushed, specially if it's your first time doing major work like this where you prefer to tackle the job yourself as apposed to getting raped at the shops. That's not to say most work couldn't be completed in a day or few hours, just that you might find yourself referencing information as you go and bump into uncertainties. I've always enjoyed taking my time, cleaning and correcting nearby items as I go. Like sex, I like to not rush the job, taking my time, enjoying the experience and .... wait a minute, No if it's with my wife, I like to get it over with as soon as possible, who the f^ck was I kidding dammit!
