Dester,
On the V6, the gasket set doesn't leak. I'm at 1K miles on the replacement
with no leaks (got a pinging problem but that's not related to the belly
pan...timing it at 45 degrees @ 2500rpm).
If you look at my site, you'll see a steel plate on the bottom of the intake
manifold that has 12 bolts on it. This is the "Belly Pan" Gasket that's
notorious for leaking.

page)
The Mopar Performance lifters work bitchin and haven't made any ticking
noises....yet.

Subject: Re: DML: *#@*&$ing intake gaskets!!!!!!!!!
What all did you have to remove to get the intake off? I'm probably gonna
take my intake (and heads) off for a port match job along with some
polishing...
I am doing so because I screwed up a lifter and since I'm replacing the
roller hydraulic lifters with 5 oz performance ones anyways, and why not
just
do it while I'm there.
back to intake gaskets, I bought a mopar intake gasket set (no TB gasket!)
and I am afraid mine will leak also. last question, what is the belly pan
gasket?

<< Ted, did you use the plastic dowels as well? I ummmm, lost those
either way I look at it, I gotta buy new intake-head gaskets and a tube
of RTV... Looks like this is gonna be a pain in my patootie :-( but DAMN
I love this intake ;-) >>
