Will my Lower intake Manifold gasket need replacing?
Just purchased a used 3.8 L67 for my 02 SSEI. The engine has 42k miles on it. should i replace the LIM now? I had to replace the one on my original motor at 73k miles.
and if i replace now is this all i need to buy?
FEL-PRO Part # MS959771

Not sure when they started using the new gaskets. But these are what you want to use.

You will need a supercharger gasket, and a throttle body gasket. Other then that I think you have it all.
Edit. And 2 rubber O rings for the coolant, and you migh tneed the coolant elbows. If I think of anything else I'll add it.
