Remove the air intake, throttle cables, and throttle body. Remove vacuum lines then unbolt and remove the upper intake. Remove the fuel rails. Unbolt the lower intake and remove the intake to replace the gasket. Reverse the process to finish the installation.
yes you do
upper or lower.
To replace the upper and lower intake gaskets on a 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP, first, disconnect the battery and remove any components obstructing access, such as the air intake and throttle body. Then, remove the intake manifold bolts and lift off the upper intake manifold, followed by the lower intake manifold. Carefully clean the gasket surfaces, install new gaskets, and reassemble the manifolds, ensuring all bolts are torqued to the manufacturer's specifications. Finally, reconnect all components and the battery before starting the engine to check for leaks.
no you need to replace the lower intake gaskets . P.S. should have the rear head checked for leaks also they are known to leak also
Check the upper and lower intake gaskets. They are known to leak on the V6 engine. I would recomend replacing them as they are only about $15 or so for the parts.
replace lower intake
The upper intake gaskets on a 2000 Ford Windstar V6 engine are located between the upper intake manifold and the lower intake manifold. To access them, you typically need to remove the upper intake manifold, which involves disconnecting various components like the throttle body, vacuum lines, and electrical connectors. Once the upper manifold is removed, you can replace the gaskets. It's advisable to follow a repair manual for specific steps and torque specifications.
The lower intake manifold gaskets on 3800 engines are likely to go bad at around 80,000 miles. This is caused from the gaskets being made with rubber and being eaten away by the "So-Called Dexcool" coolant. It is best to replace this gasket as well as the upper plenum gasket with a metal gaskets and change from dexcool coolant to regular antifreeze. This is an expensive repair...so be prepared.
You have to take the block off and get to it first...I have a Chevy K1500 Z71 and I had to replace it but I had help.... The block is the lower part of the engine and has nothing to do with the intake gaskets. Go to a parts house or bookstore and buy a Haynes Manual and it will give you everything you need to know.
lower intake gasket
Are you sure it is the water pump gaskets. It could be leaking some somewhere else, like the lower intake gasket
there is no lower intake gasket, only a front and rear gasket
