LOL plenum gasket? I do good to know what a head gasket is.... I'm not very mechanically inclined but if given detailed directions on stuff i can figure it out.

 

1. Get a flashlight and a really small miror on a stick if you have one.

2. Take off your air box and filter assembly.

3. With the car off open the throttle with your hand

4. Shine the light down in there and look for alot of oil on the bottom and in the corners (if you have a miror)

5. If theres alot of oil or oil streeks, replace the gasket!!! Tons of info on here. Steve did a nice write up on it too in the DIY forum.

 

Oh wow....so in other words, take it to hte nearest mechanic and say "hey them guys over at hte forum said somethin about a plutonium basket and an upside down mirror or somethin 'er another...." LOL. basically take it to someone who knows what hte hell they're doin....

 

well i dont think its that hard just look the instructions over lol [sm=deal.gif]

 

Oh, following instructions is the easy part.....Murphy's law is the hard part. The last 3 times I've ever touched a motor, never fails, I've ALWAYS cracked the intake....in a really really bad way.

So, my luck is, the mirror would break off in the breather hole, the flashlight would drop down into the breather hole, I would finally get them out and put the air breather box back on it and end up somehow cracking the intake.....
