Quick question, do not want to do this twice

Replacing the lower intake gasket for my dad. Is this lower still usable or would you replace it too?

That looks like a coolant port that is blocked.

**Scottydoggs** · 04-15-2015

isn't one lim port blocked off?

Pics from further away corroded spot should be smooth.

My thoughts are to get another lower manifold.

160,000 miles on the original gasket.

that port comes sealed off like that, as long as the gasket is around that rotted area it should be ok.

**jj5428** · 04-15-2015

Gasket is sitting partly on the rotted area.

maybe time for a another lim then. you dont need any leaks after its done.

You can buy a used LIM pretty cheap. I'd just snag another one.

Too cheap to not replace, not worth risking your motor for $100 or less. Ebay has good prices.

Advice taken. Just bought a lower intake from one of the forum members here.

Thanks again.
