It cost us about $700 cnd. That was a shop that charged about $75/hr.
I have a 2002 Olds Silhouette and had to replace the head gasket set 2 years ago. It raun around $1,700.00
Intake manifold gasket leak....big problem with that engine. Sorry for the bad news.
The head gasket on an Oldsmobile Silhouette is located between the engine block and the cylinder head. It serves as a seal to contain the combustion process and maintain coolant and oil separation. To access the head gasket, you typically need to remove the intake manifold and other components, depending on the engine configuration. Always consult the vehicle's service manual for specific instructions and precautions during the replacement process.
It is either an intake gasket, or head gasket most likely...bring it in to a mechanic.
The head gasket on a 1997 Oldsmobile Silhouette is located between the engine block and the cylinder head. Its primary function is to seal the combustion chambers and prevent coolant and engine oil from mixing. To access the head gasket, the intake manifold and cylinder head must be removed, which can be a complex process. It's essential to ensure the engine is cool and properly supported before attempting any repairs in this area.
There are 2 of them. They are sandwiched between the heads and the engine block. In order to replace them the intake manifold and heads must be removed and exhaust manifold disconnected. Always replace both of them on a V6.
Remove the manifold and change the gasket. And voila!!!
No. which manifold gasket are you wanting to replace? Intake or exhaust?
Intake manifold gasket seems to go on every single van, anywhere between 60k and 150k. This van has a host of cooling/transmission issues.
Replace gasket why does gasket keep sliding
Yes, you must install a new intake manifold gasket.
The gasket is between the head and the manifold and simply remove the bolts and replace the gasket after cleaning it real good.
