Hello, I recently took my truck into a shop a few weeks ago because I suspect that at 160,000 miles the intake gaskets need to be replaced. My question is how many sets of gaskets does this engine have? As far as I know there's an upper intake gasket, a lower intake gasket, and a head gasket(the mechanic told me didn't need replacing unless the engine overheats). I got an estimate for $440 for plenum gaskets, new valve covers, valve induction cleaning, and labor. The gaskets are $125 alone so I'm wondering how much you guys have seen these sell for and if this price is good. All help is appreciated.
