unknown car trouble...again

turns out it wasnt the chain and just like the guy said on here, it was the intake manifold gasket leaking. gasket is $45 and hes taking it off tomorrow and we are draining the fluids and everything tomorrow after the gasket is replaced

i got the upper manifold and lower manifld gaskets for $60. I had my girlfriend flirt with the guy at Advance Auto and he gave her his employee discount or else it would have been $90. When my uncle removed the intake and showed me the gasket, the o rings were all frayed and it was shot to shit to say the least. There were leaks in two areas of the plenum gasket alone and we didnt even see the lower gasket yet. So tomorrow evening the Millenium Falcon should be running again.

i spent a few hours cleaning that manifold. it was black when i started. it was shiny aluminum gray when i was finished. it looks almost brand new.

FROM MY OWN EXPERIANCE... "they only care about their next rock. they could give a shit less whats most important t u." signed, chris.... quote me on that. in my belief u shouldnt let that rock monster near ur car again.... im as strong as shintsu in my opinions tho i am not as verbal... for what its worth- there it is!

you know what, i shouldve taken your advice then, because the other day i left him with a simple task and the keys and $10..I left for 10 hours came back and he hadnt touched the car. So my girlfriend cussed him out so bad he wont speak to us and ducks and dodges us now lol She cut into him pretty bad with the words too. Hell, I felt bad for him with what she said to him lol
