Intake manifold removed in preparation for the plastic coolant pipe replacement. Notice the clean ports (can't see the valves in the picture).

Coolant distributor fitting reinforcements. Safety wire was used to tie the fitting (by it's clamp) to an anchor point on the engine. A little JB-Weld was applied for extra insurance, but before applying too liberally, I stopped in fear of having trouble getting the fitting out in the event that it ever needs work in the future.

The coolant distributor fitting (with hose still attached) as I found it. It is stuck in there very solidly and I am fairly confident this engine got the later improved adhesive formula.

It turns out that this is where my slow coolant leak was coming from. Notice the coolant residue at the bottom of the vee.

This is what my water manifold fitting looked like. No evidence of a leak and could not budge it.

Make sure to order the camshaft stopper and a new HPFP o-ring. Mine disintegrated upon attempting to pull it out. I was very worried that I wouldn't be able to get it out of the camshaft, but a pick with a 90 degree head was able to coerce it out after a while.

This is looking at the back of the camshaft with the HPFP drive installed along with the new, plastic camshaft stopper.
