What causes a Pontiac 3400 engine to leak?
The intake manifold gasket failed on many 3.4 L engines and caused either an internal or external leak. An internal leak will allow the oil and the coolant to mix together. An external leak allows the coolant to leak outside of the engine. The leaks occur around the intake manifold gasket. The failures are linked to DexCool, GM’s long-life coolant.

But what’s this? The 265 cubic inch Pontiac V8? Oh, right; this was 1980-1981, the golden era for GM’s undersized and underpowered V8s.

Of course Pontiac charged more for the 301, but that game went on for decades in Detroit. “We’ll charge you more for an engine with a bit less iron in the block” I guess I was interpreting the “they” in the headline as consumers, not GM. An alternate theory: A lot of these oddities in the marketplace can be explained by CAFE standards.

Why is my Pontiac engine not cooling properly?
As displacement got larger, compression went higher, and engine heat increased to get better performance, it may be that the cylinders were getting inadequate cooling – which would likely not show up on the temp’ gauge but would show up as piston failure in “stressed” engines.
