Most how-to procedures state that it is best to leave the intake and exhaust manifolds on the head when you pull it, and I was thinking of removing both of them at the head instead, and leaving them otherwise intact, since I am getting the head serviced and must remove them anyway.

It seems to me it would be easier this way, since you dont have to open up the fuel system or disconnect all the intake components. I was wondering what problems I may have by removing the intake at the head, and if I am setting myself up for a bunch of problems.

THanks!!
