intake gasket job complete

Well, I finally got it done!!

The van actually runs stronger and smoother now.

There was some indication that the upper intake was leaking at the seals, as well as some leakage from a couple injectors and possibly the fuel pressure regulator. I replace all gaskets and seals from intake up as well as the fuel pressure regulator.

Too bad though the mileage has not improved...Ill try an injector clean and a new o2...

try pulling the injectors and soaking them 24hrs in straight Gumout Regane or Techron Concentrate in a glass or metal can... stand them up vertically and add no more than 3/8" to cover tips.
most deposits are external

injector shops charge approx $20 per to ultrasonically clean and test

I just took them out and cleaned them, although I didn't soak them for 24 hours. Externals look good, very clean.
