I just cleaned up the intake for a 2004 mc ss. On the front of the manifold where the gasket just covers aluminum with the opening, I have a perfect gasket hole eroded into the aluminmum. The bottom of the gasket was opened up allowing coolant and oil to mix, apparently it ate the aluminum about 1/16th inch deep.

Any repair tips, if not I will resort to JB weld.

 

Do you have any pic's of this problem..

 

i can get some, but don't have a clue how to post them

 

Depending on where you have the pics....
You can either use some picture site like photo bucket...

Or if there already on your computer...

Once you click reply...

At the top of the box you will see a paperclip... click it and another box will open up...

It gives you 2 options to post pics from...
one says ... Browse... This option you can use to transfer the pic from your computer...

The second allows you to link your pics from photobucket etc...
all you have to is merely copy and paste the link and add it to the 2nd option in the box..
Once your done with your photos you want to post... just like adding a written response click submit reply and they will show up on the page.

 

Thanks I will see what I can get here in the next half hour.

 

Got the pics but all i can find on the quick reply box is a insert image button with a url required. Am I using the wrong reply button?

 

Click go advance then manage attachment and upload them there

I'm not seeimg where it ate into the intake manifold. The gasket falling apart is common.

Yes url works
