So I was hoping that it was not the intake…but it's looking like it may be.
I had some leaking coolant issues, and I traced it back to a crack in the rad by the connectors for the auto trans. So i bit the bullet and changed out the rad, hoses, cap, thermostat and hoped that it was that. Well it lasted about a week and the gauge started jumping around again…usually a sign of low coolant. Now I'm going through about a gallon every two days? Seems like way to much!
So I guess I'm going to now do a pressure test in hopes to make sure it is. So here are a few questions I have that would really like everyone that can to give me some perspective.
1. Is this the time to do the valve cover gaskets? Been reading some and it look like people are doing this?
2. Any other must do's while the work is getting done?
3. What may be the price people have paid before for the intake change? I live in California where we pay extra for everything for no reason, so if anyone has experience in Ca with this it would help greatly when I start hunting around for a shop.
Anything else i should know please school me on what I need to know.
Thanks!
