Hi John, As mentioned these motors had a history of these problems. The issue at hand is your getting anti-freeze in the oiling system & at least one cylinder, and probrably have been for awhile. Anti frz. will break down oil very fast, so anything the oil lubes the anti frz. has also gotten too, i.e. rod & main bearings, rings, cam bearings,valve guides etc....You should stop looking for a possiable quick fix or the One problem...self assured if it was a intake or head gasket and you fix it...soon after you will find yourself having low end crank problems or oil pressure problems, along with the fact you will start burning a quart of oil every 200 miles ! Been there Done That. After being in the auto repair buss. for over 30yrs i have seen alot. Dont be fooled, just because these engines are made buy Big Car manufacture's that they were not all engineered perfect. On the contrary, As you will find out the big boys cut costs by putting some of the cheapest intake and head gaskets on their products, which in turn cause you ! all these problems. The gaskets you will buy from most private suppliers will be superior. Your best bet is to replace the engine with a reputable reman. engine (mayby Jasper inc.). I have seen it so mant times, patching up motors spending $$$$$$$ only for the motor to throw a rod 2 months later. Get rid of the cancer (the motor) and replace it. It will have a good warranty and you will have peace of mind. p.s. - You will need to replace all (4) o2 sensor's on the exhaust, anti freeze will kill them going thru the exahust. Be carefull of the Catalyic converters too !! Good luck.

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
