You just saved me a TON of work! Thanks SO MUCH for doing this video.
This will work on the 3.1, and 3.4 as well
The shop manual actually says to cut the intake gaskets. Figured I'd consult you tube just to be sure. Thanks for the verification.
thanks for your time....very informative
now to do the intake gaskets, do you have to remove the distributor to pull the intake? got an 86 comanche that needs them done and im trying to do my homework
i see how you worked the intake port dividers but didn't remove them completely.
So no issues whatsoever after this ?
I'm doing this on my 85 S10 2.8 carb cause it was mixing coolant and oil and long story short it is the intake that was doin it but I was just curious about the copper stuff and if I should add any RTV just a tad on the coolant jacket areas ?
Just trying to up my chances like over kill to make sure it seals for a long while lol
Great tip brudda! I just got an 87 Maro with this tiny 2.8 eng. It was locked up but after I got it unlocked it started right up but dies? I have new injectors for it and have determined that as my first
line of correcting this dying issue. I have hopes that this little eng. with 55k orig. mi. will be okay! Thanks for your knowledge and I also use the Copper Kote esp. on head gskts!
Fuel pump, fuel pump relay. Or it could be the ecm. Especially with the age its most likely those things
@@YungEagle3k thank you Jacob. I have replaced the fuel tank,pump,filter,pressure regulator. Yesterday I decided to look at the distributor. Whew it’s components were most definitely oem. I repl. cap, rotor and module. I have 45 psi steady and it holds. Dropped 5 psi in an hour. I ordered a new distributor $65. I should have done that instead of more than 65 in the components lol.
Well I am going to see if the distributor does it before trying the new injectors and ecm. The pick up reluctor was really nasty I blew it out in there really good but it might not be sending the signal to the ecm?
Thank you I will post my findings!
@@cockasorrus7475 if it still doesn't run after that then it could definitely be that ecm, that was my problem with my 2.8. Good luck
@@YungEagle3k okay finally got the 87 Maro running about a week ago!!
I changed the injectors and they were nasty. Car hadn’t ran in probably 20 years. It has 55k original miles. Engine was seized. I made a plate with a snout I welded to the plate. 1 1/4 sq. tubing. Just something to get a pipe wrench on. It turned over fairly quickly with the PW! I had put a new tank and fuel pump w/sender stand.
Thank you again for your help!
Nice tip. Do you have to remove the distributor in order to remove the intake manifold? I have a 89 s10 with an oil leak on the rear side runs down the back on the engine. Could it be the distributor "O-ring"? How can I tell? Any advice would be great!! Thank you!!
Hi Allan it's been a long time since posted this video don't remember lol
I'm basically having this issue with my 92, but my distributor was put in within a year, so I'm pretty sure it's these gaskets.
YES
Compression test is good but I have a steady stream of white smoking coming out of the tail pipe, smells sweet. engine oil looks great. Can the intake manifold gasket cause this condition?
Sounds like a head gasket leak, I've been working on mine recently, have a 83 Chevy S10, same symptoms.
nice
Can you show me where the plastic vacuum lines go on these? mine are all broken but i cannot find where they go on the motor, please help it's been holding me back from driving the car for 3 years

You just saved me, iv been looking for so long for how those lines run, thank you so much! definitely will sub!
Question. How would you go about adjusting the valves on one of these engines? I'm in the middle of an overhaul on one of these engines for a '87 s10 and discovered the valve adjustment procedure makes no sense. Says to rotate engine ro #1 tdc, then adjust the intake valves 1, 5 and 6. Number 6 intake is at the top of its lift. Rest of the procedure shows similar errors. i would just adjust it while running but these engine sling so much oil, it would all be on the driveway before im done.
must be a type error lol
A1phanum3ric69 yep. surprised it hasn't been corrected. guessing I'll just have to rotate engine till lifter is sitting on the base circle of the cam to adjust. It's a new cam and afraid of wiping lobes again. Amazing only info I can really find online for valve adjustment is turn 3/4 past 0 lash. Oh well. Any suggestions for the timing cover gasket? Looks like it can be put on dry, but the coolant passages make me think I should use some black rtv on the timing cover. Most of the old gasket stuck to the block. when I took it apart.
giberish9 yea you want to remove ll thw old gasket off the timing cover and the block and some good ol RTV you will feel reassured it wont leak and if you ever take it apart clean up will be lot easier As far as valve adjustgo to autozone.com create an account and you can use their online repair manuals I believe they have the valve adjustment there. Good luck! Keep me posted.
I have the answer! Did you subscribe?
Im loosing a masive amount of oil off the back of the block near the top. Not the valve covers or distributor. Silicone seal to the intake manifold?
Check the plastic tubing lines that go to the rear!
@@A1phanum3ric69 plastic lines?
The manual says to cut them as well
I've got a 88 S10 with a 2.8 V6 in it.. if I remember right the intake gaskets were flat,.. just like the small block Chevy 327 or 350.. don't remember having to cut them or mess with the valve push rods.. just sayin' lol
You must have had the Chev 4.3L V 6, All 2.8 L are exactly like the one in the video! Just Sayin! The 4.3 was introduced in 1980. by Chevrolet it is exactly like a 5.7 L, minus 2 cylinders, very reliable!

I may have it was a long time ago bro, thanks!
s10 v6 is not the same as a chevy 2.8 car. s10 is a 90 degree engine and the cars had 60 degree
Huh? All the 2.8's were 60 degree, whether in an s10. citation, celebrity, camaro etc.. @@TheExoticmoments
I wish you lived closer. I have a 2.8l 89 firebird. Dang car has a bad misfire. I'm thinking its a bad valve or blown rings.
I mean it gives you a chance to relash valves and stuff. takes literally 30 minutes, so I dont see what the problem is.
id rather relash valves once instead of replace a gasket set 3 times. but thats just me
Aca?
cool i not going to cut my 3.4
my EFI stop working on my camaro so i am trying to go carb intake
Don't cut it. You're asking for trouble. I'm on my 3rd gasket (counting original) on this engine. Don't cut it, just get a tool to lift the rocker arms, they're like $40.
Why ar you on your 3rd gasket? The one you see in the video now has 2000 mi since it was installed and still holding strong. had an oil leak in the rear of the motor but it was the distributor O ring Ive done about 100 of these and havent had a problem yet
Well, I'm glad it's worked out for you, but that still scares me. Mine blew after about 10k miles. Could just be the engine though, you know running hot in a corner or something, it's the 3.4 version of the same block. I've read lots of gasket stories on it. :)
Standard Excellence Thanks for the comments.. To ease your fear about cutting them here's some physics that apply gasket surfaces clean and free of all oil, gasket in place, manif on and tourked, think about it. :) The gasket will not move unless bolts come loose or gaskets have a lot of miles or overheating that can happen even if you dont cut them. In your case its possible manif is warped in which case doesnt matter what you do with the gasket. Really cutting the top hasnt failed yet done over 100 gotta make sure you cut the correct tabs and make shure the plastic dowel pin that comes on the gasket is pressed fully into the dowel hole..
Talked it to death!! Took ten mins. To cut three tabs and never showed the install.
Hey William the instal video is shown on this video
