Blown intake manifold gasket

The other day i noticed that my intake manifold was leaking. Not to bad it just bubbles a little bit in one little spot. I was wondering how much it would cost to get some one to do it and since i need new valve seals i'll just have them do that to. So what am i looking at paying to have this done?

You need to take that up with the person who's doing it.

The question should be "Why am I not doing this myself"

Its easy, cheap, and I've done 4 in the last week

I wouldn't drive it untill its fixed, If its leaking the other way and you end up with water in your oil this could cost you an engine.

2 hours

I've literally done as many as I've said, granted now I've got it down to a system, but you and a buddy could knock it out deffinatly in a day no questions asked, just make sure you know how to set your distrib, that will probably be the hardest for a beginner.

Good luck

My gasket did the same thing. I just tightened the bolts and problem solved.This was in 1998 and a year later it started leaking again. I just had the gasket replaced this year along with 8 new injectors. They charged me for 6 hours labour.
