Remove the cylinder head from your 1992 Chevy Lumina engine. Remove the head gasket and clean the surface. Put the new head gasket on and reverse the process.
800 for mine.
it could be your head gasket
To replace a blown head gasket on a 1998 Chevy Lumina, it would cost between $18 and $174. This depends on the brand part and any labor costs.
Sounds like head gasket is leaking
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
you probably have air in cooling system, which is probably caused by blown head gasket(s). Head gasket and intake gasket on these engines are notorious for failing.
most likely the head gasket is bad. there will also be coolant in your oil.
Thick white smoke from the exhaust is a pretty good sign
If u have water in your oil pan u need to replce it.
had a 95 3.1L V6 Lumina that would lose AF as well. Maybe your intake manifold gasket or head gasket are going bad. If there is unusual stuff on the oil fil cap or dipstick you have a gasket leak.
I have a 1990 3.1 and what it turned out to be was the head gasket was leaking now it runs fine
