Two or three hose clamps on the fuel supply line to the fuel rail fixed the fuel leak I had there...one just didn't do it.
Some permatex "Copper spray-a-gasket" on the copper washers which seal the "banjo fittings" on the hard line between the fuel rails fixed that fuel leak.
It's handy to have a compact air impact wrench to get the nut off the crankshaft to install the piggyback pully. The one I got at Sears just BARELY fit between the crank & the radiator.
If you decide to replace the thermostat while you have the intake off, be VERY careful when removing the "hard" coolant pipe that's in the way. It's sealed by an O-ring that is easily damaged. (Yes, that's the voice of experience.) You won't know it's damaged until you have everything back together & THEN find out you have to tear the whole thing apart again to fix it.
On a positive note...it exponentially expands your "swearword vocabulary".
If you damage one or more of the O rings on the injectors, it will invariably be on the drivers side...with the intake etc. in your way.
