I have taken my Montana to my mechanic and know for certain that it is the intake manifold gastic.
I can have it repaired for around $750. However I am leary of giving the go-head for the repair for fear the bearings will go out and it will then need a new engine.
For some time it was over heating, not by much, but more than it had been.
I thought maybe it was the thermastat and pulled into a quickie repair place and was told as long as it wasn't getting overly hot it was probably OK.
I then checked my oil and saw that it was foamy and looked a little orange, Like Dex anti- freeze.
My mechanic states that coolant and water went into the oil. And it is fairly deluted.
It runs good and sounds OK. Can anyone advise me as to should I risk the repair in hopes that the engine is not ruined?
