Default platinum gasket

Every link on the forum i click on wont work to tell me how to find out if my platinum gasket is blown.

Can i get someone to tell me how to check it, before i go buy the aluminum gasket???

Also i i were to put a edelbrock intake on my truck as long as i transfor everything over from my stock one it should still be legal in the state of CA right?

Look down through the throttle body to see if there is oil pooling in there, are you going through lots of oil?

lol didnt even realize i misspelled it.

reggie220- I dont go through any oil really, i guess i will look through the tb tomorrow. if there is no oil than chances are mine is fine? or is there other stuff to check? thanks bud!

aim4squirells- dodge used metal gaskets with aluminum intakes, because of the difference in expansion and contraction the gaskets start to leak, from what i read that and the ****ty cats is was brought on the "deathflash". since your info says you have 6642 posts you should have known exactly what i was talking about like reggie220 did, so dont be a ****, its ******** like you why people go to other forums. and if you think its a joke, it takes one click of a mouse button to go back a page, guess thats a little to hard for you.

aim4squirells knows all about it and is a great contributor to this forum! He was just having a little fun with how you worded it, I'm sure it was supposed to be all in good fun.

Your gasket is probably fine, but from my time on this forum, which hasn't been that long, it is never a bad idea to do the hughes plenum fix.
