so after weeks of trying to diagnose this issue, 2 of the mechanics that saw my ST (at the same time) concluded that it's a bad intake manifold gasket. They still need to do a compression test though... my question is, they will charge me $200 for labor costs to change the intake manifold and they'll do the valve cover gasket along with the thermostat housing at the same time....
my question is, since they will be changing out the lower intake manifold gasket...should I change out the head gasket just in case? Is it easy to get to? it's a 140k 2001 V6 4.0L ST. Thanks
