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.

agreed, not worth it. Just use a set of fel-pro alumimum framed gaskets
Part number MS-98004t (I believe dont quote me)

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?

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.

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