Leading me to fix number 2 and removing the intake manifold.

How tough is it to remove the intake anyways? I've got tools and a nice shop, just never worked on newer stuff. Any specific tools that are needed? Are the gaskets reusable or do I have to replace them like on old Gen I SBC applications?
The claim in the video is the additive takes care of other potential leaks. I don't consider gaskets reusable. That's the reason I would look for folks that have used this method.

I haven't searched but it is quite likely you can find a diy step by step here or perhaps on youtube. Newer stuff can be intimidating if only for the electronics removing the intake is about a 4 on scale of 1-10 with ten being most difficult.
