frank358fr Posted March 13, 2005 Report Posted March 13, 2005 I all, Today Ill remove my plenum but I have a question from my Lumina 1992 3.1L. Did i need to buy a new gasket for the TB and for the MAP sensor. Thx Frank Quote
5speedz34 Posted March 13, 2005 Report Posted March 13, 2005 I would definatly get a new one, even if it looks like you can replace it, why take the risk? Quote
Jeorge Posted March 13, 2005 Report Posted March 13, 2005 if you pulled the TB then yes I would say you need to replace that gasket too... you should beable to get a gasket set for it that has the upper and lower intake along with the TB and water pump gasket.... I know thats how my 3100 set came... was like 65$ how ever had I known that the head gaskets where included in the 120$ set. I would have gotten that set insted...stupid car parts stores...I asked them atleast 5 times. DOES THAT 120 set include the head gaskets and the guy said NO....thats the only kit they have. so I went to the place where I got the set for 65 that didnt include the Head gaskets..and there complete set was $170..but then a week later I found out where I was the First time there intake only set was only $52 and the complete set for heads and everything was the $120 Price. Damnit..... oh well was only a grand am anyways but doesnt leak any oil so yeah you should get everything in the intake set the TB WP Upper and lower and....make sure your kit has RTV in it if not get the High temp stuff for like $3-4 Quote
frank358fr Posted March 13, 2005 Author Report Posted March 13, 2005 Ok thx, So I NEED to change it if I remove my plenum! So I need to change thoses 2 gaksets, its thoses 2 things?? Thanks Frank Quote
NOHC_WBody Posted March 13, 2005 Report Posted March 13, 2005 Put it this way. Having a replacement gasket on hand almost always ensures you won't need it Quote
Prospeeder Posted March 13, 2005 Report Posted March 13, 2005 i think in ur picture your pointing at vacuum lines, not gaskets Quote
frank358fr Posted March 13, 2005 Author Report Posted March 13, 2005 yes I know but its the gaskets i point Quote
HokemBokem Posted March 13, 2005 Report Posted March 13, 2005 i think in ur picture your pointing at vacuum lines, not gaskets Thats what it looks like to me also. Quote
Brian P Posted March 14, 2005 Report Posted March 14, 2005 wrong section. And the EGR gasket is pretty durable so you MIGHT not need it, but it's just a few bucks anyway. Quote
