a bad head gasket will result with compression and oil/coolant mixxing in the blocka badupper or lower intake gasket will result with coolant in crankcase or exaust manifold which causes white smoke comming out of the tail pipe...if your gonna change the upper or lower intake gaskets change them both at the same time... it saves you money in the long run
Assuming this is a 4.3L engine, the upper intake manifold gasket would be between the upper intake manifold and the lower intake manifold.
It is between the upper and lower intake manifold. The gasket is an o-ring type.
there is no upper intake gasket, only a front and rear
if its a 3.1, the possibility is the intake manifold gasket!!
"Manifold gasket" ? whick one? Upper intake MG,Lower intake MG or exhaust MG? I thinks you mean intake MG. The Upper intake MG is easy on. Just undo the bolt and clear the gasket materal, then replace new upper intake MG. The lower intake MG is a little bit hard. Carefully clear the old gasket material on the manifold and head, clear the bolt nad bolt hole in the head, then carfully install the lower intake MGand double check the coolant passage in ordeer to void the coolant leading. The last step is to torque corectly the bolt. good luck.
It should be fine, this is a very simple operation. No worries. Be sure to review the "Related Questions" below for extensive information about the Windstar intake manifold -including links to plenty of instructions on removing the upper intake manifold.
It is another name for the upper part of the intake manifold.It is another name for the upper part of the intake manifold.
you must remove upper intake manifold to access these plugs
check the upper intake manifold gasket you will need to remove the ac compressor to check this
Should just be the gasket but check the upper side of the cylinder head while you have it apart to see if it has problems. Intake gasket leaks will present vacuum problems, if pressure is pushing air out of the affected area then it may be the head.
Assuming this is a 4.3L V6, the upper intake manifold is directly under the throttle body.
The Villager has an upper and lower intake manifold. It is at the top of the engine with the throttle body attached to it.
