First you start by taking the air filter off. Then unbolt the carb itself. Then you will see eight bolts that are bolting down the valve covers, remove those and next the covers themselves. This will enable you to see the bolts easier. Around the outer edge of the intake manifold you will see 3/4'', I believe, bolts. Loosen all of those and remove them. After that remove all hoses from the intake manifold. The manifold should now come right off. You might need to wiggle it a bit to loosen it but it will come free. And that's it. Be sure that upon removal of the old gasket you take a razor blade and scrape off all the old gunk. This will make for a better seal. Be sure not to drop anything into the block while you have the manifold off.
Remove carburator then intake manifold then cylinder heads
Yes they do at the intake manifold gaskets.
You need to replace your intake manifold gasket. Chevy had a bad problem with these gaskets.
It is the Intake Manifold Gaskets FYIilikebananas
It is between $65-$85 for the gaskets.
bad vacuum hoses or leaking intake manifold gaskets.
its more likely to be the intake gaskets.
Remove the intake manifold retaining bolts from your 1996 Chevy Astro Van. Remove the manifold gasket and clean the surface. Reverse the process to install the new intake manifold gasket.
The intake manifold gaskets have failed on many of the V6 and V8 Chevy and GMC trucks in our fleet. The replacement gaskets are a better design that the original.
You have to take the block off and get to it first...I have a Chevy K1500 Z71 and I had to replace it but I had help.... The block is the lower part of the engine and has nothing to do with the intake gaskets. Go to a parts house or bookstore and buy a Haynes Manual and it will give you everything you need to know.
You will need to replace the intake gaskets to fix your problem. The HEAD GASKETS will not be your problem.
Yes you do.
