Intake manifold Gasket.

Post by Black_FTOGPX »

Does anyone know if you have to replace the intake manifold gasket when you remove the intake manifold?

If so does anyone know the part #?

I'm prettty sure you can just use the gasket goo's to do the intake manifold.
Mines been on and off a couple of times and I'm pretty sure i saw orange goo there when we had the cover off. Rpw did it so it should be ok?

ive taken my intake manifold off several times and used the old gasket again....as long as its not broken you should be fine...when i was doing mine for the first time, payaya, among others, told me to warm the car a little before you take the manifold off and that should help to stop the old gasket from breaking

Hi,

When you take the manifold off, which bolts are you supposed to take off?

I am trying to take mine off but don't really know which bolts to take off...

I have almost taken the front cover off as that's very easy, but the manifold is a bit of a challenge as I don't really know which bolts to take off...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

its pretty much just the bolts on the front end of the IM and then also there are 3 at the back near the firewall that are connected to a bracket....

this tute on sparkies should explain it to you
