The ALDA went bye-bye. If it's not necessary, rip it off, I always say.


The EGR housing was really corroded and nasty looking. I soaked it in oxalic acid, which cleaned it up nicely. Yes, I also ripped out the EGR valve.


I also ripped out the ARV transducer and capped off the ARV and vacuum tube. Get this crud outta here!


The injection lines were worn from years of use without being secured by clips. At some point they should probably be replaced.


The plating on the injection lines was gone and they rusted quickly, so I painted them. I got frustrated because I couldn't figure out if the injection lines or the intake manifold should go on first. I ended up having them on and off a few times until I got the parts in place. I kept having to reroute the engine wire harness as well. Such a hassle!
