You set it down with the new gaskets onto the ground at 2:00... wow

[scottykilmer]

@BADFISHHHHHH yea, the concrete is flat and clean enough. Let's not be anal here.

I have a 01 Dodge Stratus R/T, any videos on taking the Intake manifold off?

[scottykilmer]

@Infantrydude06 not yet, but it's a mother of a job, lots of crap to remove to get to those gaskets. Get a cheap manual with picts, Like Haynes

@scottykilmer Yeah I did it last night, being a novice mechanic....garage bolt turner, I managed to get through it with my wife in tow to help. Now i'm having issues with the car idling crazy. Time to take it in I think.

@Infantrydude06 check for vacuum leaks first, could be that simple

[scottykilmer]

@girlythug72 try bars alumiseal, it often works on small coolant leaks there

@scottykilmer quite a bit, the lower one is a royal pain. Price around.
