How would you get to them? I was never able to. I had to take the intake manifold gasket off to get at them. If #1 fails, it is easy but the rest will take some work. Intake gaskets are about $10-15 a shot. I know what you're thinking, punk. You're thinking, is this the last failure or is there more? Well to tell you the truth, I forgot myself in all this excitement. But being as this 606 intake manifold gasket, and will cost between 10 to 15 dollars, you've got to ask yourself a question: do I feel lucky? Well do ya, punk?

My 606 after 60K was fine as far as the chambers went. I broke the plug off at the threads because of galvanic corrosion. I have since put tons of anti-sieze on the plug body (not on the heat tips) and intend to take them out once a year just to be sure. When I took the head off, the machine shop said it was pretty clean.
