I used some fat polished PVC and a pair of longer flywheel bolts to make a press. No big.

Just as an aside, I've found that timing gears are the perfect diameter to use as a driver for a RMS. Get the seal started, put the gear on it, gently tap in the center of the gear with a deadblow hammer, the seal goes right in.
Yep, or a 16V. PVC pipe would probably work as well, if it's the right diameter. I just happened to have some gears laying around.
You don't have to take the intake off, but it would make it a be easier to do. Otherwise it's mostly blind fumbling work done by feel underneath it. But it's probably better than spending the time taking the intake off to make it a little easier.
That's the knock sensor. Just for fun, Volvo has 2 or 3 of the same plugs on the harness in the same general vicinity. The knock sensor uses a shielded green wire.
The knock sensor isn't on the head, it's on the block. It's pictured above, black plastic with a bolt going right through the middle and into the block.
Ah, that's not a sensor. That's just a dummy plate covering up the vestigial fuel pump location. That green wire leads to the A/C compressor clutch.
Yes. The car motors hadn't used a mechanical low pressure fuel pump for decades, but perhaps for other markets or boat motor usage, they left it in the blocks. Take it off and there's an eccentric on the int shaft.
