Now flip the valve cover over and clean the inside one more time to remove any debris the tapping may have caused.  Then reinstall the two plates using a thin strip of RTV on the edges.  Finally, install the valve cover back on the motor.  (Note the alternate brass fitting in the picture.)

After painting the manifold, I tapped and then thread a new fitting into the outlet.  (Note: This fitting ended up not working because it faced directly into the front engine plate.  I ended up swapping it for a straight brass piece.  Pictured later.)
Now disassemble the entire upper intake manifold.  Make sure to remove the EGR plate from the back of the manifold.
