Can you tell me what the hose that is connected to the lower intake is
called?
213k on my 2001 Impala ls
Damm is to late for this,I didn’t do it,there is a really loud noise coming
of the engine block:'(
The 2000 Is similar, and yeah this video would be good to watch for a basic
idea of how to do it,, although you can’t follow the procedure to a ‘T’.
doing my upper & lower now car won’t start. coolant smoked from exhaust &
it ran poor u think my engine could be damage? please give opinion.
@montez194 according to my repair database, your lower intake goes to 11 ft
lbs, (Which is 132 INCH pounds). and the UPPER only goes to 89 INCH pounds.
Can you tell me what are the torque for upper and lower intake for a 93
Buick Lesabre?
Water getting into the lower intake manifold is one of the symptoms of a
failed upper intake manifold, It is not supposed to be there, and if it is,
you probably need a new upper intake manifold because the coolant passages
in it are leaking into the engine.
@APTDTY What are the torque specs for the lower and upper intake of a 3.8
L, for a (2000 monte carlo). In inch pounds?
at 4:03 you mention that you didnt use a sandpaper wheel or whatnot. what
would you recommend using to clean the old gasket off? great videos by the
way!
@Stars4yu There are many different parts of the coolant system that can
cause oil and coolant to mix, the most common are the intake manifold (and
yes the leak can go either way) But another common issue is if the car has
a coolant to water oil cooler, (you can tell because you will have oil
lines running into the radiator). That cooler can go bad and cause oil and
coolant to mix, which requires replacing the radiator.
I have a 97 olds 88 do I follow the tightening sequence as you showed here
@pattilab8338 It’s possible, if the engine ingested a large amount of
coolant while the engine was running, the pistons will hydrolock which can
damage the engine, More likely is that the combustion chambers are
extremely wet, if you didn’t do so yet, Replace your spark plugs, while
doing the job, pull out all 6 spark plugs and crank the motor for about 30
seconds to push any liquid out of the spark plug holes, then install the
new plugs and hopefully it will start. Good luck!
Yes, beccause when you take the intake manifold off, coolant will run down
into the oil valley and down into the oil pan, you want to get the coolant
out of the oil by changing it.
I removed the plugs and cranked the motor to rid the cylinders of water
which there was alot of. Going to flush the radiator and oil. Shiuld be
good to go. Without this video i would never have attempted this task the
car was going to go to the scrap yard because we just spent 500 on a fuel
pump last week. Thanks for making all your detailed videos.
This guy is the man!!! I watched all 7 of his videos and I replaced both
upper and lower intake manifold gaskets for less than $200, instead of
$1000 plus. I had no clue how to do this job, but just what the automotive
dealer said what the problem and cost would be. YOU TUBE is the life and
money saver!!! Thank you very very much.
You are right, some kind of solvent, My personal favorite is Brake Parts
cleaner because it leave no residue.
Do you have to change the oil after you change the gaskets?
hey i have 3800 supercharged engine and i’m thinking about replacing my
intake gaskets theres nothing wrong with the car i just want to replace the
original gaskets, my question is that when i have everything off what
should i use to clean everything off with?
what did you use to for cleaning?
Would this be the same as a 2000 buick lesabre? Or at least get a general
idea as how to do this?
solevent? correct me if im wrong
lol 100k miles is alot of miles? come up north that car is still a virgin i
have my 95 lesabre she just rolled to 198k
I have a question i took the upper intake off and there is water sitting on
top of the lower intake should it be there. i have a 97 buick lesabre 3.8
ltr.
im going to school for diesel tech and we have like 10 of these on engine
stands for us to take apart and stuff when where bored. today me and my
friend (he is awesome when it comes to rebuilding engines) we took it apart
to the bare block, changed the bearings on the connecting rods and put it
back together in like 2 hours. But it was already stripped down of the
vehicle.
@CODxFUNxMAN If the coolant passages that run through the timing cover are
leaking, that could also allow coolant to mix into the oil. You may not see
coolant leaking because it could leak internally into the motor. Also,
overtightening an oil pan gasket can definitely cause an oil leak. You want
to check anything above the oil pan though, and make sure its not oil
running down from a leak higher up that looks like the oil pan.
I replaced both the lower gasket and upper intake
@verstehetmich there are special “Surface Prep” discs out there which
attach to high speed buffers, those are what I always recommend. Google
“Surface Prep Discs” and you will see a ton of results.
