Suburban-97> Thanks for the excellent web page documenting your intake manifold gasket replacement/repair.
I just completed my intake manifold gasket replacement this afternoon using the tips/instructions/guidance from your web page. That, the short instructions that were included with the Fel Pro gasket and a copy of the Chilton's page showing the torque sequence was all I used during the replacement.
Total time for the replacement was ~ 8 hours (6 hours one day and 2 hours the next).
Thanks again for an excellent posting and a well written and concise web page documenting your experience.
