Yep, you can get SG from pretty much anywhere It works great for cleaning the engine.

Its safe to just dump SG inside the intake and let it dry ?

It shouldn't hurt anything, but it could puddle in places, but otherwise it would be fine...

The Simple Green Degreaser can be found in the auto and laundry sections from what I have seen.

I have never had a problem using full strength/concentrate Simple Green...

On the back, it should have instructions on what part simple green to a certain part water...if you want to dillute it.

Cleaning is really pretty simple, just get some paper towels, shop towels, rags and spray or spread over the intake and just scrub around, make it look clean and degreased You won't be able to get to much detail work on the inside of the intake of course, but just 'scrub' what you can get too...

Like I stated earlier, a machine shop can put it in a hot tank and it cleans inside and out.

You could try putting your intake in a bucket of hot water and the simple green and wash it that way, splish-splashing it around

No real science to it, good luck man!

This list should cover you:

01+ PI Intake Gasket – YL3Z-9439-BA -(1 each for a total of 2) – or FelPro – MS-92121
Alternator Bracket - F8AZ-10153-EA – 96-98 with PI Intake/Al. Crossover - (1 brkt)
Coolant Tube – XR3Z-18B402-AA - (1 tube)
Coolant Nipple – F75Z-8555-AA – (1 nipple)
Upper Plenum O-Ring – XR3Z-9L437-BA – (1 o-ring)
Thermostat O-Ring – F1VY-8255-A – (1 o-ring)
Water Pump O-Ring – F1VY-8507-A – (1 o-ring)
Stock or 180* Thermostat – 3L3Z-8575-AC (192*) - (1 t-stat)

Give that post (copy) to Randy and he will see if that is enough. Many people just get gaskets and the little odds and ends from him. You don't have to buy the intake from him to get the other stuff

I think he comes back on the 13th right? Monday, Monday, Monday - I imagine he will be very busy...but he will get to you

Just doing some rough math in my head from memory - I figure you will pay around (very ballpark figure) of $65-70, just depends...that was based on the parts above...

Old thermostat bolts work just fine. Just reuse them...

Killa - A machine shop will do it for you, just tell them to tap it the same size as the passenger side coolant sensor.

Use 'thread sealer' (found at any auto parts store), just ask the man/woman at the counter and they will get it for you...

quite normal. sounds like a PCV valve issue, replace it and you should be fine. just remember that the PCV valve should be replaced at 30k, along wth your fuel and air filter

Spray a little PBBlaster on the threads. Try not to get it inside of the sensor but let it work a bit and they should come out.

You can get the sensors at Autozone for 15 a piece or so.
