Intake Gasket Repair

[lg8806]

Hi all, I am going to do the intake gaskets on my 2002 GP GT this weekend and need few questions answered before I start......thanks

1) Will garrage tempeture...40 degrees if I`m lucky....cause any problems ?

2) Should I use the RTV sealant that came with the gasket set ?

3) Do the coolant elbows need a sealant ?

4) What needs to be done to switch the coolant?...just flush and replace

any other words of wisdom that anyone would like to share will be appreciated........thanks again :th_scratchhead:

use the aluminum gasket not the plastic one. get a space heater so your not freezing the garage. and go over the links above a few times before you start. be sure to have injector o-rings, there are 2 on each injector.

yep i'd put rtv, grey or black, on the coolant hoses and too replace antifreeze, just flush and use the storebrand advance auto antifreeze cause prestone makes it, . and x2 on the heater, u'll freeze!
