If the gaskets leak again I will probably just go ahead and replace the spark plugs at that time if it's before the 60K interval. As far as the two halves of the plenum, I had to crop and compress the picture to show you one of the fasteners, the nut and stud combination on the front right, the rest are not visible (the nut is partially obscured by the vacuum hose in front of it). I could e-mail you a larger picture if you'd like (250 KB). It's easy to see, if you are standing in front of the vehicle these are the smaller 10 mm bolts between the upper plenum and the middle plenum, they are on the right side on each side of the plenum tubes diagonally opposed. the first and last are nuts on studs the rest are bolts. I actually assembled these pieces together off of the vehicle to ensure gasket alignment (couldn't make it work putting it all together on the vehicle). I'm sure I was just a few miles from a misfire code......good thing it didn't happen as this is my wife's daily driver!
If you get the new plenum gasket just lay it across the top of the plenum and you can see which bolts to remove it as one piece.
