No. which manifold gasket are you wanting to replace? Intake or exhaust?
To replace the valve cover gaskets on a 2003 Jeep Liberty, the valve cover is removed. The old gasket is then removed from both the valve cover and the manifold (old gasket will come off in pieces on both sides). Then spread the sealant on the manifold, place the new gasket on, then put sealant on top of the gasket and replace the valve cover and bolt down.
Remove the intake manifold retaining bolts on your 2003 Chevrolet Malibu. The manifold will come off. Remove the manifold gasket and clean the surface. Put the new manifold gasket on and reverse the process.
Remove the 1995 Oldsmobile Cutlass intake manifold retaining bolts. The manifold will come off. Remove the old gasket. Clean the surface. Put the new intake gasket and tighten the intake manifold retaining bolts.
When you replace your oil filter it come with a new gasket. Just make sure when you remove / replace the old oil filter the oil gasket comes out with it.
I believe the engine has to come out and the block has to be opened up because the head gasket is in the center
I'VE BEEN TOLD A SHORTCUT TO REPLACING THE WATER PUMP IS TO REMOVE THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD AND THE WATER PUMP WILL COME OUT EASILY. THEN OF COURSE, YOU HAVE THE EXPENSE OF REPLACING THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD GASKET AND EXHAUST O-RING GASKET. BUT A LOT CHEAPER THAN REMOVING THE WHOLE FRONT OF THE MOTOR. Try a chiltons manual or www.alldata.com If this is a quad four motor, you may not want to try this at home.
You have a blown head gasket. Remove the heads and replace the gaskets. Also have the heads inspected for cracks.
I had the same question when I put a head gasket on my 89 LX. The head has to come off in order to remove the intake manifold. There is no other way around this.
It may not be overheating, but you could still have a coolant leak into the combustion chamber, from either a head gasket or intake manifold gasket.
305/350 I'm guessing?, The manifold is held onto the head by 6 bolts. The front "y" pipe has 3 studs holding it to the manifold. If you live in an area where corrosion is a problem you will have to heat the "y" pipe flange nuts up with a cutting torch to get them off or pull the studs out of the manifold (heat with torch also). If the bolts going into the head are in good shape then remove all but the end ones. If the heads of the bolts are to rotten to get a wrench or SIX point socket on, cut off the heads of the bolts flush with the manifold , pry and/or hammer the manifold off and the bolts should come out of the head by using vise grips or pliers. I would pull the spark plugs so they don't get broken at this time. Make sure everything is clear, take out the 2 end bolts and the manifold will come off. If you are replacing the gasket because it's leaking, get the manifold planed so it doesn't blow out the new gasket. Don't forget to replace the gasket at the "y" pipe connection also. Use the same length bolts & studs as what came out. Bolts & studs are 3/8 x 16.
The exhaust manifold.
There is a factory replacement manifold which is reinforced from the stock manifold, can be purchased from any a/c delco parts store. It will come with the necesary direction. Dont forget to purchase the white thread lock and a inch lbs torque wrench.
