Video is on point, rookie mechanic who is still working on engines certs. This video walked me down the right direction in fixing Mt lower intake manifold gasket
This is a solid repair for the 3100 V6, as it doesn’t blow a head gaskets. However, the 3.4 L engine is notorious for blowing head gaskets, and at this point you might as well replace the head gaskets while you’re in there.
I am doing this on my 04 Impala with 260K miles on it because of a collapsed lifter. I also am losing coolant but it is not going into the oil. I removed the push rods with my channel locks hooking it on the rockers and pulling them down until I could get push rods out. Video is a big help for sure. Thank you for making these how to videos!
Why wouldn't you suggest to replace the thermostat while it was apart? So much easier to do and it probably should be done, for the 10$ and few minutes to do.
You guys are great! Can't thank you enough for these videos. 3/4 of the way done this job myself. Thank you. Just a word of advice to anyone starting this. Get the entire gasket kit from 1A auto. I made more trips to the part store for O rings, and gaskets than I needed to. If I would've seen this video before hand, and purchased the kit from 1A auto I would've had this done all in one day without an issue.
They may have it listed, bit I didnt see it, very important, when tightening the lower manifold bolts, there is a specific sequence that has to be done. The 4 upper studs must be done first to insure manifold seats on gaskets correctly, Google or purchase manual for correct sequence
I have noticed some people clean the fuel injectors and replace the fuel injector o-rings. Do you think this is a good idea, or not really worth it? And also, I saw you put a new upper intake on the car, is there any particular reason for this, I'm assuming most people can reuse their old upper intake manifold. Thanks. Great videos guys!

Y'all make this look so easy

Same reason they tell you to overtorque the upper manifold they are idiots.
Came for information, got it, thank you very much, very well done.

Thanks for posting such a good video on how to do this. I now know what I am doing next weekend......
They may have it listed, bit I didnt see it, very important, when tightening the lower manifold bolts, there is a specific sequence that has to be done. The 4 upper studs must be done first to insure manifold seats on gaskets correctly, Google or purchase manual for correct sequence
also they really should do better cleaning job on seats for gaskets and I personally remove fuel rail easier than risking damage to injectors
So, when tightening the rockers after putting the push rods back, there's no need to rotate to TDC?
Great videos I'm working on mine right now . Do I have to put new bolts on the manifold?
You can re-use the original ones if they're in good shape. Thanks for watching. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
When you apply RTV gasket maker between the gaskets, you say to let it set, does that mean let dry before replacing the lower intake manifold
The manufacturer recommends the rocker arms tightened to 14 ft pounds.
Nice video. Do you have one for the head gasket? I couldn't seem to find it. Thank you.
How long do I let the rtv set before installing the lower intake and torquing them down?
What was the reason for replacing the upper intake manifold plenum?
Does this gasket set work for a 04 impala 3.4 L base model it says on your website I didn’t
Would this all be the same for a 05 pontiac g6 v6?
+JohnDoeGTA The installation process should be very similar.
I have noticed some people clean the fuel injectors and replace the fuel injector o-rings. Do you think this is a good idea, or not really worth it?

How long did you let the silicone sit before you sat the lower intake on it?

how many lb ft for the upper and lower 10mm manifold intake bolts???

Where goes the hose being connected at 14:40 ???
+gaelregio This hose goes back on the intake manifold. Thanks for watching.
What are the sizes of the o-rings
+Tyler Frostt JR Billman We currently do not have the dimensions of them, but we do carry them in a gasket kit shown in this video. Here is a link to them. goo.gl/RvxWjC
A lot of just want to do this just want to do that at the end of putting everything together you don't show anything just do it fast
You do realize you didn't have to take the tensioner pulley off right?? You are making more work for yourself in the long run.

False
You wanna just watch this video if you're gonna do this job yourself.
This sounds like a very expensive job to have done
