Hey are there any good videos out there showing step by step replacement of the head gasket for the 22RE? I can only find ones on the 22r. I have the top half of the intake manifold removed but I am unsure if I need to remove it he bottom half or if it can stay attached to the head when I pull it.

 

It can stay on.

 

Personally, I think videos are a very poor substitute for the manual. But you use what you like. https://web.archive.org/web/20121110.../7cylinder.pdf

 

Videos are a good supplement. The bad thing is typically the majority of the ones covering your topic of interest are trash. You need to have the FSM to know which videos are giving decent advice.
