Consumer Description

I HAVE A INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET LEAK ON A 2000 PONTIAC GRAND AM GT WITH A 3.4L FI MOTOR. IT LEAKS ANTIFREEZE AND OIL. IT LEAKS FROM THE CENTER OF THE MANIFOLD AND ON TO THE SIDES OF THE HEADS. I HAVE REPLACED THE GASKET ONCE MYSELF WITH THE HELP OF A GM CERTIFIED MECHANIC AND AFTER 7 MONTHS OF THE REPLACEMENT OF THE GASKET IT ONCE AGAIN LEAKS. ALSO WHEN WE REPLACED THE GASKETS ON THE INTAKE WE PUT NEW INTAKE BOLTS IN AND HAD THE INTAKE CHECKED FOR CRACKS AND STRAIGHTNESS OF THE BASE OF THE INTAKE. *JB
