Everything hooked up! The power harness was tricky to pull. You have to push a small tab to release the bigger white tab and slide the white tab to the left to remove the harness.

Aux plug here and ran along the passenger side along the center console floor. I did 6ft which was enough. I'd recommend 10ft to give a little more freeplay.

New location of the HDMI and USB input. I put it in the passenger hidden compartment. I used a dremel to make the hole.

Reinstalled intake manifold and torqued to 16ft/lbs in the correct pattern. Also reconnected everything I disconnected to get the job done.

Reinstalled valve covers. TIP: use a torque wrench to torque it to specs (8.7ft/lbs for valve cover). I didn't and snapped one bolt. My heart sank. There's no way I can extract it, so I just put Permatex grey gasket maker all along the valve cover and around the snapped bolt.

Installed new gasket. TIP: add grease to the new spark plugs grommets BEFORE installing. I didn't, on the front and had no issues... But the rear was a different story. I accidentally installed one backwards and it wouldn't come out.

Went with the Felpro kit from rockauto. At this point I realized the PCV valve was trash, so had to scoop one from Discount Auto Parts.

New NGK Iridium plugs. The old plug were still in good condition, so it's a good sign. They were super tight, so I used a little WD-40 as I didn't want them to break.
