To install a head gasket on a 1999 Oldsmobile Silhouette, first, ensure the engine is cool and disconnect the battery. Remove the intake manifold, exhaust manifold, and any components obstructing access to the cylinder head. Clean the surfaces thoroughly, place the new gasket into position, and then carefully align and reinstall the cylinder head. Finally, torque the head bolts to the manufacturer's specifications in the correct sequence before reassembling the remaining components.
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.
Intake manifold gasket seems to go on every single van, anywhere between 60k and 150k. This van has a host of cooling/transmission issues.
Remove the manifold and change the gasket. And voila!!!
No. which manifold gasket are you wanting to replace? Intake or exhaust?

Yes, you must install a new intake manifold gasket.
