My lower intake manifold is slightly leaking on my '96 3800 II. I was reading up online that the 3800 II used faulty manifold gaskets that were replaced with metal ones, at least thats what was said on Grand Prix and other 3800 II cars.
Does this affect our version of the engine as well and do I need the metal LIM/UIM gaskets?
They use alm. ones now, it doesn't affect the engine any. Just better gaskets. ZZP has them.

Cool, thanks...found the part # on ZZP's website so I'll order those there.
Does anyone know if our version of the 3800 II suffers from the intake / upper/lower manifold gasket problems that other 3800 II engines seem to suffer from? From reading up on other boards, there are "kits" that seem to be a permanent fix such as this one ...

Well that's what brought up my question is that there are fixes for other variations of the 3800 II but not for OUR 3800 II. So I'm asking if the problem of the intake and/or gaskets which affects the other 3800 II affects the one in the f-bodies.
Of course I would prefer to simply replace the gaskets and have it be good but if our car has this same problem and requires special parts as a more permanent repair, I'd rather do that and take care of it.
the fbody intake is made of aluminum where is the w body intake is made of plastic and has a tendency to warp due to insufficient cooling passages and the initial elbow designs. Fbody intakes gaskets may fail but do not suffer from warped intakes from the same problem.
