no, You will have to replace the intake gasket, CAUTION DO NOT USE STOP LEAK.
remove three small bolts pull cluster away pull old gasket off put new one on
if you have a big family you should get a hummer, Land Rover, Range rover, Expedition. if you have a small family you could pick : Lexus, Infinity.
It's most likely a bad intake gasket. If the bottom of the gasket lets go it will literally suck oil from the lifter valley into the intake runner.
That's probably not a good idea. You could use silicone gasket sealer, but let it thoroughly dry before you start the engine, otherwise it could be sucked down the intake.
Depending on the motor you may need to put a small dot of silicone at the corners where the intake meets the head of a V motor. 4-6 cylindar straight motors don't use sealer.
It depends really. You don't use it on the gaskets themselves. Not if you got a decent brand of gasket anyway. Some intake gasket sets are supplied with rubber gaskets for the ends. Most of the time I throw those away and use a bead of silicone instead. It stays more pliable and does a better job of sealing than those rubber ones. Even if you do use the rubber end gaskets, put a small dab of silicone in the corners where the rubber gasket and fiber gasket meet.
yes it will all Chevy small blocks after 1986 through 1995 use the same angle and bolt pattern for the intake........if its aluminum make sure you get a high seal gasket....
You possibley have a blown head gasket on the side that is blowing water and steam. 390 s are good solid blocks pull the head on that side and check carefuly to see if you can spot the bypassed gasket. If not a gasket a good idea to have the heads checked for cracks then the engine. Small steps. could be a blown head gasket on that side, or a bad intake gasket. The side you see white smoke from has a head gasket or cracked head problem. If sparkplug has water or rust on it you have located the cyl of question. Is it the Intake manifold or head gasket. Water runing into intake valve would be noticeable when you pull the intake manifold. You might hear knock when motor is hot, that would indicate steam knock from blown head gasket. Piston in question would be steam clean from antifreeze hard blast on ignition................. ........ do a compression test, a week cylinder could indicate not only a blown head gasket but also tell you what cylinder.
If air is leaking past the intake manifold gasket it will make the engine run rough. Check the intake manifold vacuum. You should be running a steady 18-24 inches of mercury without touching the throttle. Run a small hose with one end in your ear and the other running around the edge of the intake manifold to find the exact location of the leak. If the manifold vacuum is normal, check your spark plugs and wires. One other way to test is to run a propane torch with no flame around the gasket. The engine will speed up when you run by a leak.
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.
5 normally. However there are some companies that manufacture a small 2 seater bench seat that fits in the boot space but these have restricted space.
Dude, You don't have to replace the engine like the other guy said! You do However have to remove the intake to get at the coils. Land Rover was stupid in its design on this one. You might be able to get at them if you remove the seal that runs along the back of the firewall if you have small hands. Good Luck!
