I have a question about these. Can any damage occur by having bad gaskets for an extended period of tiime. I notice I am losing coolant through the intake, also I am getting 7 miles to the gallon. And the truck has trouble starting and chokes and dies several times when first started. Once it is running it runs good. I plan on getting them replaced next weekend but it is gonna cost me 408 dollars. Mostly labor. But back to my original question, can I hurt the engine by running it this way?
Also is an oil change madatory when changing these gaskets out?
