    Cleaning my intake?

    Thanks for that tip. I know what port polishing is but I didn't know if this would cause any harm or not. See I'm a bong to dump this car and upgrade to something newer. I've had my eye on an 86 Monte Carlo as well however. I think it'd look great with a 468 dropped in haha! Anyways thanks for...

    Cleaning my intake?

    http://i.imgur.com/fY0M4eY.jpg That's a better shot of the inside. I don't think it's considered too bad but I don't like it. I'm planning to get rid of the car in like 3 months anyways so if its not an issue ill just skip it. Would any other cleaner work in place of the LA's totally awesome?

    Cleaning my intake?

    It's rough casting externally but I'm pretty sure it's a smooth finish inside underneath the gunk. Somehow my throttle body is near spotless yet my intake looks like its loaded with tar lol. Is there any soak I can do to it overnight to just spray it down with a hose in the morning? There's a...

    Cleaning my intake?

    It's metal. Here's what I'm trying to get clean. Ps don't mind the rip in the gasket. Was an accident and a new one is going on tomorrow. http://i.imgur.com/YcKqGCY.jpg http://i.imgur.com/jArXfR5.jpg I'm not too concerned with the external cleanliness as much as the interior. It looked...

    Cleaning my intake?

    Well I've got the throttle body off and the intake manifold off and I'm down to the gaskets. My intake has some black buildup and I'd like to remove this easily without a trip to the store again. After using a can of brake cleaner I had zero luck. It's pretty thick residue. Any tips?

    Oil distribution manifold gasket

    Lol my memory isn't the best now let alone when I'm older. I appreciate your help though! Notice in the picture that the top left side of that manifold is where the leaking occurred. Weird too because it started as a few drops then slowly leaked all out as it sat without pressure because it...

    Oil distribution manifold gasket

    Yes it is the 3.4 DOHC not to be confused with the 3400 that was used in the 96 model. Also I'm a bit confused as to how to oil manifold would be loosened at all during engine heat up because its got clearance between where the intake sits and where the oil manifold lies.

    Oil distribution manifold gasket

    Point in hand. The guy was dumb enough to lie about the engine work to begin with. He sold me his problem. The gaskets look BRAND NEW and I'm sorry but if the owner before him over three years before he drove it daily replaced them, there would be SOME wear. None whatsoever. I'm replacing them...

    Oil distribution manifold gasket

    Well for starters, thanks for the add to this forum! Now onto my dilemma! I'm the new owner of a 1995 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Z34. Sad, I know. An 86 will come soon. I have the GM 3.4L engine with VIN code X. Noticed a driver side leak that upon inspection I thought was my LIM so began by...
