  • Do I have everything?

    I am a new member. This site is GREAT. I want to double check that I have everything before I begin this undertaking.
    2000 Olds Alero 3.4L LA1 Type "E" 47,000 mi. that is leaking coolant.

    Intake gasket set - Still not certain from the posts which is preferred. The Fel-Pro MS98003T or the GM set.
    195 degree thermostat - might as well replace while engine is open.
    Oil pump drive "O" ring
    Intake manifold bolts - long and short. Some posts said replace, others said using old ones was OK.

    Have I left out anything other than new cuss words and lots of "band-aids"?

    As long as that felpro set is for the metal intake gaskets, then id go for it. Im not sure what the gasket kit includes so if it has lower and upper intake gaskets, valve cover gaskets, oil pump drive o ring (47k is a bit early to be doing that one but you may as well I guess). You don't need new manifold bolts. The kit should also include some silicone but id get a tube just in case there isn't enough. The high temp grey type for imports is what I use but obviously there are a couple that will work.
