Just to let anyone who cares know....
For those on a tight budget, the upgrade gaskets for the lower intake manifold that are suggested in the tech info article have gone up in price from the price listed in the tech bulliten ( not that it isnt expected after 2 years). The price listed is 59 bucks..the new price is 96 greenbacks!..Just thought i would pass that info on. I still got them...

The parts guy at the dealer did some magic behind the monitor for me and magic-ed the price down to about 75 bucks. The look on his face was a look of confusion when the computer pulled up the price as 96 bucks...I payed a little more, but i was also able to get the exploded view of the intake manifold printed from their computer which is nice to have..anyone want me to scan and upload the two views i got from them yesterday? I am going to do the job this weekend and will try to get lots of pics for the forum...

WOW that sucks. Got them from a GM Pontiac Dealer. Must be one holy hell of a markup on that part. Well thats what I get for buying from the dealer. Why does a learning experience have to cost so much?
