Lower intake gasket, which one?

[Kupop]

Hey everyone, seems my car is really showing signs that these gaskets are bad now...

Anyways, I tried to search a few times but I was getting a database error, so I am just going to ask the question, I know, I know!

Which kit should I get? I just looked on RockAuto and there are a few:

FEL-PRO Part # MS95536
w/Ball & Pivot rocker arms; 1st Design; w/o push rod guides on int. gskt.; Upper set incl.

FEL-PRO Part # MS90562
w/Roller rocker arms; 2nd Design; w/push rod guides on int. gskt.; Upper set incl.

CORTECO Part # 23681 More Info {Intake Manifold Gasket}
Lower Set; w/o Pushrod Guides,

CORTECO Part # 23983 More Info {Intake Manifold Gasket}

FEL-PRO Part # MS98004T
w/Roller rocker arms; 2nd Design; w/push rod guides on int. gskt.; Complete set; Valve cover gskts. & Upper set incl.; PermaDryPlus® int. manifold gskts. incl.
w/Ball & Pivot rocker arms; 1st Design; w/o push rod guides on int. gskt.; Complete set; Valve cover gskts. & Upper set incl.; PermaDryPlus® int. manifold gskts. incl.

Should I get MS90562, and then just a set of valve cover gaskets separately?

FEL-PRO Part # VS50442R

Thanks in advance, and sorry to post this but search still won't work for me.

It depends on yer VIN number. I can tell you that the Felpro set includes everything you need, except perhaps the TFE sealant for the bolts. My 1995 "M" VIN engine used the one without pushrod guides (the cheaper one). I assume later models use the one with the guides. Unless you can get the info from somewhere (dealer?), you may not know until you open it up.

The search function has been a little flaky lately and they are working on it. I'd recommend the Fel Pro sets as previous experience with these has been very good. I have either used original equipment gaskets or Fel Pro brand.

Go with the MS98004T Fel-pro if you have the roller-pivot rockers (late 95-on Vin-M). It doesn't fit the older ball-and-socket rocker engine regardless of what Rock-Auto's website says. It's the new design metal framed gasket, and a vast improvement over the junk OEM plastic framed gasket (the MS90562 is plastic framed too). If you have the ball and socket engine (93-early 96), your only choice is the MS95536 and separate VS50442R valve cover gaskets.

Also, while you have it down, change the oil pump drive o-ring (Fel-Pro 70800), as this is a common oil leak on these engines. It's not part of an intake job, but is much easier with the intake out of the way. Replacing it later will require the throttle body to be removed.

My VIN number is 2G1WN52M7S9296953, so I guess I'll get that MS98004T, assuming the M in my VIN is the "M" you're talking about. Sorry, I don't know a whole lot about this car when it comes to these kind of details.

I probably will skip out on the O ring, but thanks for the suggestion. To be honest, I am selling this car in a few months. My gas mileage has really gone down so I figured it is time to finally change these. I was hoping it would be okay long enough to just sell it as-is.
