intake gaskets are between the head and intake. head gaskets are between the head and the block..
YES
if you are going to replace the intake gasket you might as well change the head gaskets at the same time[it will cost you a little now but save you a lot later
No the head gaskets are dependent on bore size
if you figure this out please call me i had the heads resurfaced and gaskets replaced and the same thing is happening to my f250 6.8l v10 1999 8317068926
Yes you should replace the thermostat now to insure trouble free operation afterwards, actually as long as the main bearings were not damaged from the intake leak, you should also replace the head gaskets at this time, use only felpro gaskets and you will have troublefree performance for years to come. These are good torquey engines, gm just went cheap on the gaskets when new
it could be a blown head or bottom end gasket- i had the same thing happen on a snowmobile i replaced the gaskets and it cured the problem
My '96 is in the shop with the same problem. Bending me over for 400 bucks
The intake cam is usually on the same side of the cylinder head as the intake manifold.
Remove distributor, disconnect hoses and cables from carb and intake manifold. Remove intake manifold.remove valve covers,loosen rockers and remove pushrods Insure that pushrods go back onto the same lifter,and rocker.remove exhaust manifold,remove head. clean gasket surfaces. Install new gaskets, reassemble.
a bad head gasket will result with compression and oil/coolant mixxing in the blocka badupper or lower intake gasket will result with coolant in crankcase or exaust manifold which causes white smoke comming out of the tail pipe...if your gonna change the upper or lower intake gaskets change them both at the same time... it saves you money in the long run
no the engine would still run fine if it spits and sputters sounds like timing mine did the same thing when i changed intake manifold gaskets
What type of car? On GM cars which have the 6 cylinder engine, at about 60,000 miles the intake manifold gaskets will start leaking and the dripping will be at the center of the car. The OEM gaskets are thick and will begin to leak. I had to have the gaskets replaced on my 1999 Oldsmobile Minivan and another was in for the same repair. Then when I was having my oil changed a LeSabre was in the shop for the same thing. I have talked with several mechanics and they say this is a common occurrence. It would appear that GM would have issued a recall before they became Government Motors.
