Re: Any1 Have Same Engine who can help

Why are you asking about head gaskets? You onlyl have to remove the upper parts of the intake manifold to change the regulator.
91 should have a 3.1L in it.

Re: Any1 Have Same Engine who can help

The 2.8 intake is a "sandwich" affair. Uppper, middle and lower. Gaskets between each of them. I believe you will only need to remove the upper and middle layers of the "sandwich" to replace the FP regulator. Might even be able to do it without touching the intake at all, but I'll defer to those with more experience on that engine to chime in about the actual R&R procedure.

Looks like the top has to come off, might change the middle gasket & injector O rings while your at it.
