not to jack this thread but while we are on coolant issues.. my 99 grand am 3.4L winter beater has the infamous dexcool ate the intake gasket problem... air somehow charges my cooling system and makes it **** out the overflow tube til the coolant burbles and the car overheats... anyone have a quick fix idea for this other then changing the intake gasket or junking the car? lol already ran leakstop in the coolant and am not flushing the system because the dirt may be what's holding things together..
Yes 89 inch lbs as someone else mentioned.
Yes, the seals are killer expensive new. When I did my SC build I got a used intake and the seals were wrecked. Since I am a dealer we had an o-ring kit in house that had the proper size and thickness of seals for the cores. You have to look around and get the correct size and thickness... but I wouldn't put back together without new. So far so good on my setup.
