I'm sorry but i actually have a 99 Malibu and they do have a intake manifold gasket which are commonly mistaken for a head gasket when it blows. Mailbu's 97 to 2000 are bad for them blowing. it is located on top of the engine. it's still very expensive **tamnesha
Some Chevy engines of that period didn't have a gasket; just a thin film of sealant.
between the head and intake manifold
Assuming this is a 4.3L engine, the upper intake manifold gasket would be between the upper intake manifold and the lower intake manifold.
The gasket is between the head and the intake.
It is between $65-$85 for the gaskets.
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.
if its a 3.1, the possibility is the intake manifold gasket!!
Intake manifold gasket
The head gasket on a 1999 Chevy Malibu is replaced by removing the coolant, intake manifold, and retaining bolts. The cylinder head can then be removed, the gasket replaced, and everything reassembled.
Yes, you must install a new intake manifold gasket.
The intake gasket is the gasket that conncects from your air filter into your intake manifold
Between the intake manifold and the cylinder head.
