Thread: HELP!!!!!!!!! IM FREAKING OUT! lost on intake gaskets!!!

i have no idea what i am doing... ive never done this before.... my mom needs her car back by morning, and its getting dark... i need help so bad right now!!!!!!!! please help me!!!!!!!

Intake gaskets?

yeah, the black plastic things on the lower manifold... AHHH i dont know what to do!!!!

depends how far you are already. why did you decide to do it if you didnt know how?

because im neive and i thought that it would be something like the gaskets on my Acura.... boy was i wrong!! and ive already got the rocker arms and everything mostly off..... im just going to stick it back together, and hope for the best...


that is if my dad will leave me the **** alone long enough to do it!

You don't need to take the rockers off for the LIM gaskets.

i dont fuking care anymore. i cant do this... i give up, i cannot do this. i dont know how, but this has got to go to a mechanic tomorrow..... im just fuking done

sorry to hear your misfortune with this, but if you read up on a few threads you should be able to figure it out. the hardest part is the torque sequence.

i know what to do, i just cant to it... i dont have the knowledge or experience to do it. and now its going to cos my mom alot of money for something that didnt even really need to be done...

good luck.

if your still doing it or need questions asweared my yahoo messenger is chris_8907 ill help ya out if ya want.

First off, everybody starts sometime and somewhere. It is easy to get overwhelmed when you are not sure and/or haven't done something before. But you got to remember, if you don't know what you are doing and/or not sure, don't do anything until you do more research or get a pal who does know what they are doing to help you out. Starting something and not finishing it and having to admit that you didn't know what you were doing makes you look a probably feel foolish. There is nothing wrong with asking for help or passing on a project that you are not comfortable doing. I'm sure you have learned a lesson with this experience. Remember, as you do more, you will get more experience and more knowledge how do to things. Don't give up, start out dong smaller projects and work your way to bigger ones and you will be doing well in no time.

Good luck in your future endeavors!!!

remove uper intake, remove lower intake, replace gaskets, put back together. you dont have to touch the valve covers or the rockers, your moving into head territory. remember to use rtv to seal it up or you will just be leaking coolent when you get done.

hell newer, i never could find it my damn self. but yes that video explains all.

and really its very simple. remove upper intake, in my case supercharger, theres the gasket for the upper intake, then remove the lim (lower intake) there is your lower intake, not put things back on the oppisite order you took them off. its really strait forward.
