How do you know the head is not cracked? Unless you have them magnafluxed you might not be able to see it. Could be a head gasket also. Do you have water/coolant in your oil?

That doesn't matter, gaskets break when they want to..

Check your engine oil.. make sure there is no coolant in it... If you have a bad head gasket, coolant could leak into the engine.

Also if you take your intake off, make sure no coolant gets into the oil or vice versa. Its probably a good idea to change the oil after you take the intake off just in case. I have heard lots of horror stories from friends who replaced intake gaskets, and then didn't change the oil afterwards. A couple hundred miles later, the bottom end is trashed.

damn i got lucky.. all it was was the gasket.. when i went to take off the lower intake, it took nothing to break it loose.. i bearly even pulled on it.. so the new gasket is on there along w/ a lot of rtv

for future ref.. its a felpro 1250
