I replaced the intake gasket yesterday morning. Thanks for all the tips, especially the one about the swivel socket!!!! Made it a lot easier! Car idles smooth as silk in park, a little "shudder" in drive. But, keep in mind this is an on-going project, kind of a "fix one thing find another" type deal. It doesn't miss and shake like it did when half the gasket around the #1 intake runner was missing but seems very "buzzy" from about 2000-2500 rpm and then smooths out. Is this typical in a Vovlo 4 cyl?Maybe looking at motor mount replacements? I did notice in drive at a stop that if I just placed a tiny bit of pressure on the gas pedal it smoothed right out. Like going from the normal idle of 750 to 800 did the trick. The idle air control motor maybe? I did spray around the intake again and found no leaks. Any tips would be appreciated. This is going to be the daily driver for at least a couple of years and want to make it right.
Thanks
Ben
