making a set of intake gaskets?

after all the problems with the 3.1 intake gaskets what are the chances of making your own using some good gasket material?

IMHO it would not be worth the time or effort. Felpro would be a good choice.

Re: making a set of intake gaskets?

agreed, not worth it. Just use a set of fel-pro alumimum framed gaskets

Part number MS-98004t (I believe dont quote me)

Also review

Re: making a set of intake gaskets?

your felpro top end gasket kit for the car should come included with metal framed LIM gaskets. BTW. What year car is this and how many miles?

Re: making a set of intake gaskets?

Just FYI:

MS98004t fits all 96-99 Vin-M 3100's, and late 95 Vin-M with roller rocker arms only.

94-early 95 Vin-M 3100's with ball-and-socket rocker arms must use old part number MS95536, which is still only available as the OEM design plastic framed gaskets, no improved metal framed available.

MS98003t fits 99-up Vin-J 3100 and Vin-E 3400's.

Re: making a set of intake gaskets?

Thanks for clarifying Rich. I wasn't sure what one it was.
