I have read all the posts and know this subject has been best to death . I have a 1999 Grand Prix GT 3.8 k engine with 160,000 miles on it..
Should I replace the intake manifold and lower intake gasket as preventive maintenance. I feel like I am driving a time bomb reading all the posts on the gasket problems. So far I have no problems with the engine or cooling system. I even paid $15.00 at one of those ask a GM tech a question sites. He said if it was his car he would not change anything. I don't plan on buying a car in the next few years. I am getting a little too old to do this work my self.
