Looking at a Chevy Venture
#21
I agree that you can get it fixed for about $500 if you shop around. Dealers will want $1500. A local garage replaced my Venture's intake manifold gasket for $500. If you go to a local mechanic, find one that has done the gasket replace before. My mechanic hadn't done a Venture yet, but he had done several other GM V6 intake manifold gaskets.

My folks had theirs (3.8 in a Buick) fail-"flooded" the engine while on a trip 800 miles from home. And they got "soaked" by the dealer $1800 -gasket, plugs, oil all replaced.

Thanks for everyone's comments. Hopefully it will give me three years or more. They are built like a tank.
