How do you replace an intake gasket on a Chevy?
Replace the oil pump drive o-ring, the heater hose tube o-ring and the water pump bypass tube o-ring. Place a small-block Chevy paper distributor gasket on the oil pump drive. Reinstall the oil pump drive into the block. Place the new lower intake manifold gasket into place. Reinstall the push rods and rocker arms.
How do you remove an upper intake manifold?
Remove the 13 mm studs and 10 mm bolts retaining the upper intake manifold. Lift the back end of the intake manifold closest to the power steering pump like a hinge to provide access to the 3/8-inch cooling lines under the throttle bore. Loosen the clamps on the coolant lines and remove the upper intake manifold from the vehicle.
Why does my car not start after an intake gasket repair?
Unplugged sensors are the most common cause of the vehicle failing to start after intake gasket repairs. Keep the valve push rods in proper order. Reversing an intake and exhaust push rods will severely damage the valve train and require cylinder head removal to repair.
