Blown Head Gasket?

Ugh head gaskets

[rtek72]

remember when i was thinking or actually was told i had a leaking head gasket...?

after all the research and feedback determined it wasnt the case

ended up being a bad intake gasket and coolant was getting in the engine that way

that was my original gut feeling before i took it to a shop for a second opinion

well i took everything off to change the gasket, because i needed to get it fixed in a hurry, i ended up just getting a felpro gasket from advanced auto

never dawned on me that my dual stage intake manifold on my f22a1 motor was that much different than the single stage intake that i am guessing is the what came on it...

but anyway, bought the gasket and advanced only came up with just the single stage gasket kit, so i bought it installed it...

got it all back together, ran fine for a couple days and now idles like crap

kinda felt like i had a vacuum leak or leaking intake gasket, something, but checked and rechecked and couldnt find it...

researched on line to find other ways to test for leaks like that and found i could use carb cleaner and spray around to find the source...

found it... bottom side of intake gasket where the original was leaking from...

when i put the single stage intake gasket i did see that it did not line up perfect but it covered fine around all the holes so thought it was going to be ok
but i see its not


f22a1 motor with the dual stage intake that according to the chiltons book came on the f22a6, do i need to worry about that or can i just use the gasket kit for the daul stage and everything will be alright or is there something else i need to do to make sure it doesnt leak anymore?


talked to deev about it and like i was hoping and wasnt for sure jus use the f22a6 gasket and all will be good
