I got the intake off and the metal line that goes from the back of the water pump to the heater core. TFS gives you a thermostat hose to replace this with.

I have never ran a PVC setup on these heads and it shows. There's absolutly no carbon, or oil redsidue in the ports or on the valves or guides since installing them last year.

When I removed the intake and heads last time they were pretty dirty.











Pic of the front of the motor for the hell of it.
