Mine had bad problems with seals leaking... Keep an eye on fluid levels, especially with those higher miles on it...

How hard is to fix the manifold ? the preview owner saying this car is overheat before and bust the headgasket, but its been fix the headgasket.

I think mine had the leak slightly, but was nothing major at the time I got rid of it still... It looked like it was too far down in there for me to mess with it.

Heh?
If I got you correclty, the previous owner said the car used to overheat and it was a blown head gasket?
The intake manifold isn't all too bad to do. If memory serves (1st cup of coffee here :) ) the leak is usually external near the distributer pass through area. I would just check around the enter mating suface, no leak, no problem. :grinyes:

Yes the car was over heat and blow coolant out the tail pipe, he got it fix for $800, he did show me the receive, the car ran fine and seem like a good car to me. If that a major then I will check it out often.
