Keep an eye on fluid levels, especially with those higher miles on it... wrightz28 12-18-2007, 10:21 AM Mine had bad problems with seals leaking...

Sounds like a Chevy? :dunno: Constantly Has Every Valve Rattling, Oil Leaks Even Trans On the 3.1 SFI, theres a common coolant leak at the intake manifold that usually bcomes troublesome.

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. Blackcrow64 12-20-2007, 07:39 AM 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. wrightz28 12-20-2007, 09:24 AM 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. 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: Killa 12-22-2007, 02:56 AM Heh?

If that a major then I will check it out often. vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
