krmiller07 Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 I just discovered that it appears my intake gaskets are leaking. Spraying carb cleaner along the intake manifold and clylinder heads changes the idle speed and how smoothly it idles. I no longer have access to a garage or the tools to tackle this on my own. Does anyone know how many hours (Flat Rate) it takes to replace these? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks try to find a friend who DOES have the simple tools to help you with this, really, a mechanic will rape you on labor charges. You only need a few tools to do the job, alan headed socket, screwdrivers and 10mm socket or wrench and a couple other wrenches. the gaskets themselves are only $6 each, and, if i was to guesstimate what a garage would charge you, i'd say $200.

JamesRich Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Drive it down here Keith, I'll change it for you for free! The mechanic might be cheaper though after paying for gas. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone had a picture of bigfoot coming out of the basin, but he had a ipod in one hand and a 40 in the other. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
