Thank you RRiddle3.
Have you done this job before?
How much time does it take to remove the intake manifold to get to the gasket(s)?
While I have the top-end open, is there any else in there I SHOULD service?

I assume I can get the kit from a Chevy dealer and my father is a retired ASE certified mechanic with a stocked Snap-On garage, so doing the work is not an issue. What is an issue, is this is my daily driver and downtime needs to be at a minimum. Any tricks/tips?

You guys are awesome! Thank you for all of your help.

George

The intake manifold gaskets are not really that difficult to replace, but can be quite involving. If you run a search, you'll find a nice article from D-tips.com that has some very good pictures of the process.
