Question
Hello,
  My 1995 Chevy Beretta Z26 is leaking oil.  We believe its the intake manifold gasket.  I am looking for advise, or a good guide, on what all needs to be replaced (what other gaskets).  What all needs to come off to get to the intake gasket, & what the torq would be on the manifold.  
Thanks

Answer
Brandon,
  Give me a fax number. I have printed out instructions on how to remove the intake. There are some things like "Releasing Fuel Pressure" that are NOT included but you can find that information at your local library. While I believe what I have will help you greatly, it does raise questions like the Fuel Pressure issue. I just think a little common sense (Don't release fuel into the engine compartment while engine is hot or you are smoking a cigar) and you could probably do this without going to the library. You can send your fax number to CarPartMan@aol.com. Please put in the Subject line "95 Beretta Intake".

Heretofore, I will NOT answer any mechanical question. I am not qualified and can only offer speculations. You are better served by others that are true Techs. With that being said, please only ask about parts and locating obsolete Auto Parts. Thank you. I have the ability to locate quite a few mechanical parts for American made vehicles fron the 1900`s to present. Some are OEM and some are aftermarket. This would include engine, brake and chassis parts. Body parts and trim are VERY difficult to find but you may inquire. If you need assistance in repair, I have illustrated books for major American manufacturers that show some illustrations BEFORE 1974. If needed, I can supply repair manuals for your specific vehicle. PLEASE REMEBER I'M A PARTS SPECIALIST, NOT A TECH!! Thank you.. Skip
