Default Checking Intake Valves

Was wondering if anyone had a link to a video or manual that shows how to remove the intake manifold on a 2017 2.7?
I was hoping to visually inspect the intake valves. I've got about 78K on the engine and would love to see what the valves look like to see if it needs a cleaning.

Is your truck running poorly? Unless you think you have a problem I wouldn’t mess with it.

The reason I say this is you’ll start chasing ghosts. Have you checked the rear bearing in the tail shaft of the transmission? How about the water pump is it leaking? Is your battery good? How about your cam bearings? Like you say, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

Pointless. If it's running fine, leave it alone.
