Re: 98 Lumina Lower Intake Gasket Issues

I'm watching these gasket issues like a hawk. I wasn't aware of this when I bought my car last week.

I've got my Haynes manual in hand and looking at the engine. I see what I think is called the intake manifold gaskets then what I'd call head gaskets. What at the lower intake gaskets? Sorry I'm not a mechanic so sometime have to reveal my ignorance but if you don't ask you'll never know.

One other question. What about swapping out the engine for a new one when these gaskets fail? Cost? Would the new one be bullet proof or probably host the same problems over time?
