You should expect to pay between 50 and 80 dollars for the gasket and between 4 and 6 hours for the labor at your shops labor rate.
I don't know which one was at fault but I replaced the head, the head gasket, and the intake manifold gasket.
I just had the intake manifold gasket replaced on my 96 century yesterday and my bill was $450 but my gasket was only leaking out. If its leaking into your oil it may be more.
They (2ea.)are in the intake. The intake manifold will need to be removed to get to them. The wire harness and intake manifold gasket should both be replaced when reassembling.
Yes, you must install a new intake manifold gasket.
Your intake manifold gasket needs to be replaced.
The intake gasket is the gasket that conncects from your air filter into your intake manifold
It should take about an hour to change the intake manifold gasket. This part can be replaced by taking off the intake manifold cover, cleaning the old gasket off and sealing a new gasket in the space and tightening the bolts. When other things are in the way, like the alternator, it will take longer.
Between the intake manifold and the cylinder head.
between the head and intake manifold
Yes.. However, you must remove the intake manifold, but, removing the head is not necessary. Make sure you have a complete "Intake Manifold Gasket Set".
You will feel a miss at idle and the idle speed may be erratic. Try retorquing the intake manifold bolts, working from the center out in the recommended tightening sequence. If that fails, the intake manifold will have to be removed and the intake gaskets replaced.
