2001 Montana - intake gasket

Oct 05, 2004 3 Replies

I understand there may be a problem with the intake gasket on some engines. I have 97,000 km on this engine, and wonder if I should get the intake gasket replaced as preventative maintenance. Any thoughts? About how much does this job cost?

You'd better check your dealer ASAP...GM has a typical 'hidden recall' on some of those 3400s and their crappy intake gaskets. I doubt they'll do it as preventative maintenance, tho.

Is this the gasket that sits on top of the block?

My Montana is in the shop today (no heat) and they found that this gasket has cracked and is leaking coolant to the exterior of the engine ($1075 repair job).

No official recalls as far as I know. 3400 is the engine. Take a look at
