Well, progress has been slow, but I have now gotten the fuel rail pulled and replaced all of the injector seals and filters. I was going to clean them with a HF ultrasonic cleaner, but they look quite clean already (I suppose its 50,000 miles have been on decent gas). I confirmed that I have Dexcool, and bought some Prestone Dexcool and two bottles of Prestone radiator flush. The next steps will be to remove the alternator and unbolt the PS pump to push it out of the way. After that, I will drain the coolant and pull the lower manifold, followed by the pushrods and then the gasket.

I need to look in the FSM and see if the oil needs to be drained for this.
