Re: Lower and upper intake manifold gasket, help!

Here's a video of some guys working on an L67 supercharged version of your engine. You wouldn't have a supercharger, but an upper intake manifold though:

Here's my experience with replacing my gaskets about 3 1/2 years ago:

Here's a link to a how-to:

Before blaming the gaskets, take a look inside the UIM thru the throttlebody and see if you see any coolant inside there, if so, the UIM is probably leaking coolant around the EGR, kind've a common issue, with aftermarket manifolds available to replace the entire UIM. You can even find 'em on eBay for not too much $$ (vs GM prices).

Here's a link to available UIMs:

If you decide to replace the LIM gaskets, here's a link to the GM aluminum LIM gaskets which are superior to the old plastic ones:

Let us know how it goes or if you need further help .
