  • intake gasket

    So I got up this morning took my car in to get the coolant changed and guess what, there was oil in the anti-freeze. But they checked the oil and it was ok. They told me I needed a new intake gasket put in. So I took the car (2000 firebird) back to the dealership to see if my warranty covered it. Luckily it does, but the deductable is $212.00. Has anyone else had trouble with the intake gasket?

    I did. When I was doing the headgaskets the intake gasket wasn't sitting right like it should. I went down to my (thank God it was open 24-7) Autozone and picked up a new set for 30 bucks. Just taking off the intake was the hard part.

    btw...Id really like to see your 2006 Firebird

        You do know the Firebird was discontinued in 2002 don't you? So what year do you really have?

              I just replaced the intake gasket last weekend and valve cover gaskets. That cost me $400 at a local shop that I trust. I also need the rear seal replaced.

                There were a few TSB's on the LS1 intake gaskets.
