intake gaskets are between the head and intake. head gaskets are between the head and the block..
YES. The intake gaskets have NOTHING to do with the head gaskets. It is a very common problem that the intake gaskets blow. It is not common for the head gaskets to leak unless the engine was over heated, and I mean HOT.
You need to CLEAN the intake up real good where the gaskets fit against it. Then make SURE that the intake is NOT PITTED, If intake is real smooth then there is no reason to replace it. Just replace the gaskets.
head gaskets blow and intake manifold gaskets break
I had the upper intake gaskets replaced at a cost of $181.00 but this also included new spark plugs. Two intake gaskets $18.50
No, you need a new gasket. About the only gaskets that may be reusable are valve cover gaskets some engines.
what is your question
As per www.totalrecallinfo.com there is only 1 recall on this item, but not on the intake gasket.
You will need to replace the intake gaskets to fix your problem. The HEAD GASKETS will not be your problem.
Yes, you need to replace your intake gaskets.
yes
Theoretically, under normal operating conditions, and proper maintenence, intake manifold gaskets should last for the entire life of the vehicle. To my knowledge, there is no prescribed routine replacement interval for intake manifold gaskets. Of course anytime a head(s) is removed, then new gaskets should be used in reassembly.
