Hello All: Having troubles, Friday had a bad day and ended up with water in the oil, think it is a Head Gasket (I Hope). I have all of the bolts/nuts off of the intake and the Heads but, I cannot remove the intake because of a pipe that connects the two heads. The intake hits this pipe when trying to raise it strait up. I have so far been unable to remove this pipe, looks like the only way to get to it is to remove the engine or some how slide it forward.

Any Ideas?

this is a California truck with the smog and that is what the pipe goes to (smog pump)

Thanks for any help
