<H5>Recommendation/Instructions:</A></H5>
Check for leaking intake manifold seals around the intake ports. The intake
gasket seals may be leaking around the intake ports, causing a lean condition.
Many times they will leak around the bottom side of the port, making it a
challenge to detect the vacuum leak. The technician may also note lower than
normal MAF readings if the seals are leaking around the ports. If leaking intake
gasket seals are found, they should be replaced. The intake plenum should also
be checked for warpage that may cause an uneven clamping pressure of the seal.
If the plenum is found to be warped, it will need to be replaced with new seals.
Intake Manifold Cylinder Head Deck Flatness specifications are located in SI.

<TD align=left width=778><FONT size=1>GM bulletins are intended for use by
professional technicians, NOT a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written
to inform these technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles,
or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a
vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools,
safety instructions, and know-how to do a job properly and safely.
If a condition is described, DO NOT assume that the bulletin applies to
your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See
your GM dealer for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from
the information.
