I have been working on an 88 F150 XLT lariat with an EFI 302.
I have tried working around the pipe circled in black for sometime, but now I really need it out of the way. While installing the valve cover the bolt circled in yellow busted. I could not get a good enough angle on which I think stressed it to the point of breaking. I need to drill it out but the pipe shown is in the way.
What is this part, how can I remove it. I have tried to remove it but cannot seem to loosen it. I fear i might crack my lower aluminium intake.
Next time remember that antiseize is your best friend when screwing steel or iron fittings into aluminum. And those valve cover bolts ? Wrist tight using a 1/4" drive ratchet and socket is all that's needed there.
