i have a 1999 oldsmobile eighty eight 3.8 liter. i changed the intake gaskets to the upgraded gasket alnog with the new manifold bolts and a better manifold at about 50,000 miles. well, i just broke a 100,000 and im having coolant problems again. its not coming from the tail pipe or mixed with the oil. is this gasket a permenant fix for that problem or am i gonna haqve to tear this engine apart again?

Anything can fail, so there is a chance it is the gasket again. However, have you noticed any leaks? Have you checked the water pump and all hoses?

Let me know.
