Default Gen III/IV Intake Gaskets
Knowing there are a lot of guys out here that have put some serious miles on their engines, has anybody seen any issues with the intake manifold gaskets? Every engine I have worked on has not had any problem, and I have not had a case where I needed to replace the intake gaskets. They have always popped off without issue. But.. most of the engines have not had more than 50-60k miles on them.

I have loved them over having to scrape the heads on my older SBC's.


Cross posting this to ls1-tech as well.
