You will need to drain the coolant out before you start this. Once drained form the radiator, you should have almost nothing left in the manifold anywhere to need to "blow out"

I always just change oil after intake job to be sure. There's always something that falls through.

Well its Time to replace the intake Manifold Gasket Oil sample came back after a recent oil change,Potassium was holding arround 13 now spiked to 49!
Cylinder at top dead center on compression stroke before pulling Distributer out? Any other Tips would be great first time attempting this, Concerns break a bolt! Re installing the distributar and lining up with the oil Pump!
I have a Shop and three days to pull it off
Change oil after completion how about the filter ?
