order of operations?

Getting ready for my first real wrenching session under the hood on the Ty. Not a ton to do, but it'll be the first time I've done anything more than brakes and shocks on the Ty.

My question is, is there a benefit to doing anything in a certain order with what I will be doing?

To Do List
RPM turbo oil drain line and seals
RPM Intake
SM Vac hose kit
SM Tune Up Kit
SM Oil Filter Block conversion

Basically I don't want to have to take something apart twice to complete one of these, and I just don't have the knowledge to what will take what on the Ty like I do my Jeep and F250.

I have the SM parts already so if I can get to work on those this weekend and then do the RPM parts when they show up without causing extra work for myself it'd be nice.

Thanks!

Good to know. Whoever had this thing before me may not have been the best with a wrench. Found a TON of RTV in the oil adapter at the block. Apparently I'm not the first one who tried to fix a few leaks on this thing.

Code what?

I'd add the abs delete to your list, removing it along with both fender wells will tremendously help on both sides with your list. And putting the fender wells back in after the work is done.
