Thanks for the replies all!

I have been slowly working on it but am preoccupied with my 300sd at the time

It sounds like I have a LOT of work ahead of me...great...
but it is good to know that I dont HAVE to take the intake off if I don't necessarily want to. And there is no reason to take off the other head so I might just go that route and make things easier on myself. The PS pump is in the way and I figured it would have to come out for one reason or another and I guess I thought right.

Well I'm going to get to work on it soon and I will update this thread if I get anything accomplished on it to the point of needing some more advice! Thanks once again! Knowing the # of bolts that are required to be removed also helps a lot as I will have an accurate understanding of which ones are necessary to remove and those that are not.

I figured well if I'm going to be doing one side I might as well refresh both sides but if that means taking off the intake manifold then I might as well avoid that situation and wait for it to be a necessity. Also I'm thinking of selling the car because its good old summer and I foresee a motorcycle in my future very soon...so why spend more money than i gotta
