  • question on my d.d.

    98 3.8 camaro 122k miles, body mint

    was driving about 2 weeks ago, noticed a ticking from engine. thought it was a lifter or something. got worse and worse, now, i can smell exaust fumes in the car now.

    driver side manifold gasket cracked. (got louder, and smells)

    question, i can do a little bit on cars, mufflers, brakes, tune ups and stuff... is this something i can do myself?

    i guess im afraid of taking off the manifold :(

    hey at least i can see all the bolts lol, looked at my LT1 and i remembered why i never did headers

          welp here it goes, 10 pm 2night i go outside and start messing around. took off the EGR valve thing and the gasket was all spilt and cracked. cleaned it off real good and put it all back together... (didnt have another gasket) and the noise went away:wavey:

          now theres a huge leak, and the car at idol goes from 500-1000 rpm :banana:

          should be interesting on the way 2 work 2maro.
