extremeauto Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 (edited) ive been looking for a while now i was jus wondering if you guys knew of any! ive got my old motor, btw i have a 97 silverado 1500 with the 5.7 vortec.. i hate the intake on that stupid motor.. 4 blown intake gaskets! this time it was leaking water into my oil and i spun a main and rod bearing! soo.. i think im gonna rebuilt it myself i alredy pulled it out and broke it down thats how i know what happened.. and i think i can get a rebuilt kit for like $425 so.. yea i think im gonna rebuilt it!(: i make sooooo much money off GM intakes what is the main cause of this is the dex-cool coolant used by GM .it after time will turn very acidy and eat the plastic in the cooling system. the way to fix this issue permanently is to get the *fel pro gaskets* lower intake set that's is metal instead of the plastic (its referred to as the problem solver kit) then instead of using dex cool flush your cooling system with water till it comes out clean.(i use a garden hose& air hose to blow the heater core,rad,and heads out be careful not use to much pressure ) put it back togther run with water and clean oil dump oil and water.re fill with all makes all models anti-freeze and fresh oil with filter....i would do this on the new engine and never have a issue again...like i said i do ALOT of lower intakes on GM's & make sure to get all gasket areas lookin new b4 re Assembly ....good luck Edited October 19, 2011 by extremeauto Quote 1995 Honda passport 3.2 4x4 Frankenstein on a budget ballistics sound deader (roof only so far) kenwood mp3 usb audio control 3 (upgrading) hifonics mx-3 3 sets of massive px5 5.25s 3 sets of massive tweets phonix gold 5.25 componets x2 massive nx4 nano 200x4 mids sony xplod 600x4 watt high's 2 Fi bl fully loaded box walled @31ish hz 13.2 cube box/wall massive DB8000 Excessive amaperge 250 amp alt wir extrnl regulator daul runs of xs power xpflex 0 gauge big 3 raptor 0 gauge power/ground wire full run suriken 45 amp hour x3 shriken bt-120 batts,interstate 1100CA semi batt scytek galaxy 2way alarm still upgradeing!
