Installing an Intake Plenum 1995 LeSabre VIN-K

[tonypuka]

Does anyone know of a link where I can find directions to install an intake plenum on a 1995,LeSabre Series I, 3800?
I believe its a Vin-K , where the pipe twists into the plenum.

Thank You in Advance for Checking

You have a Vin L ( RPO L27 )..

Are you looking to replace the Plenum? Or replace the EGR Pipe?

Looking to replace the plenum.
Mostly curious about torque on the bolts.
A step by step would be helpful also

Do a site search plenty of info on this or google.

I do have to ask as I believe that you have an L27... Look at the 8th didget of your Vin it should be an " L " .... If you have a " K " things are a bit different..

If you have an L, then the only aftermarket replacement I know of is a Dorman/Motormite upper...

If you have a Vin K, there are several manufactures for the upper..

You are correct, the 95 LeSabre never had the VIN-K engine installed! Check the eight digit of the ViN and you will see what engine you have! BTW, why are you changing the UIM on this particular car?

Bo this is exactly the same thing I was wondering.. Some of the time with high miles( 150,000-200,000 ) its possible for the coolant passage in the upper to degrade on the Vin L engines.. But it is a rare problem, and in a lot of cases the upper gasket may simply need replacing.. If the Plenum looks like it has degraded and has the look of Brown Oak Tag paper then you want to replace the upper plenum.. Very easy to deal with on an L27
