Re: Intake manifold gasket

Blazers have a history of the uper manifold gasket failing in them. If you let it go you will end up having to replace the engine - ~$3000.00.
If you have some mechanical skill, you can elect to do it yourself (there is a how to posted in the how to section). Just make sure that you follow everyones advice, or you can cause more problems down the line. If you don't get it done you WILL end up spinning a bearing or causing worse problems, and it WILL cost you a new engine.
Look in the how to section, talk to a couple of the guys that have done it. This board is an excellent source for information and help.
