Consumer Description

THE INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET IS CAUSING A HUGE AMOUNT OF CONSUMERS TO REPLACE PARTS IN VEHICLES. THE GASKET LEAKS CAUSING A MIXTURE OF ANTIFREEZE AND OIL CAUSING ENGINE DAMAGE. EVEN AFTER THE REPAIR IS DONE, BECAUSE OF DESIGN, IT WILL JUST FAIL AGAIN. I JUST HAD IT REPLACED 1 1/2 YEARS AGO, NOW I HAVE TO DO IT AGAIN. *TR
