Prying intake manifold off engine

... while it's still in the car.
Just a short instructional video for those who are looking for an easy/safe solution when removing the intake...

Damn memory card ran out before I could finish. Basically to further add this is a way to take the manifold off w/out straining too hard like if you put a pry bar into the plenum and yank upward.
The video also fails to show that after "tapping" on the prybar you know the intake starts to come loose when the taps start giving out a hollow sound as well as hearing the crackle of the sealant as it separates from the intake/block surfaces.
Anyone interested in a 'EOIC' valve adjustment procedure video?

I like to pull the jack handle out of the jack (I have the large 3 ton costco jack) and put it inside the intake TB holes. It gives plenty of leverage and height to do a squat style lift on it.

A video on valve a adjustment would be nice.
