Replacing the intake manifold gasket on a 5.7-liter Hemi engine requires a moderate level of mechanical skill and the appropriate tools. Here's a general guide on how to replace the intake manifold gasket on a 5.7 Hemi:
Note: This is a general overview and it's recommended to consult the specific repair manual for your vehicle for detailed instructions.
Tools and Materials Needed:
Replacement intake manifold gasket set
Socket set and ratchet
Torque wrench
Screwdrivers
Pliers
Gasket scraper
RTV silicone sealant (if required)
Engine coolant (if coolant will be drained)
Procedure:
Disconnect the Battery: Before starting any work, disconnect the negative terminal of the battery to prevent electrical accidents.
Drain Coolant (if necessary): If the intake manifold removal requires draining the coolant, do so by opening the radiator drain plug or using a coolant drain petcock.
Remove Intake Components: Remove any components blocking access to the intake manifold, such as the air intake duct, throttle body, fuel lines, and vacuum hoses.
Remove Intake Manifold: Unbolt and remove the intake manifold from the cylinder heads. Be sure to support any wiring harnesses, brackets, or other components attached to the manifold as you remove it.
Clean Surfaces: Use a gasket scraper and a clean rag to thoroughly clean the mating surfaces on both the cylinder heads and the intake manifold. Ensure that all traces of the old gasket and sealant are removed.
Install New Gasket: Place the new intake manifold gasket onto the cylinder heads, ensuring it is correctly aligned with the bolt holes.
Apply Sealant (if required): Some intake manifold gaskets may require a thin layer of RTV silicone sealant at certain locations. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for guidance on sealant application.
Reinstall Intake Manifold: Carefully lower the intake manifold onto the cylinder heads, making sure the gasket stays in place. Install and torque the manifold bolts to the manufacturer's specifications in a crisscross pattern to ensure even tightening.
Reinstall Intake Components: Reinstall any components removed earlier, such as the throttle body, air intake duct, fuel lines, and vacuum hoses.
Refill Coolant (if drained): If coolant was drained, refill the cooling system with the appropriate coolant mixture.
Reconnect Battery: Reconnect the negative terminal of the battery.
Start Engine and Check for Leaks: Start the engine and check for any coolant or vacuum leaks around the intake manifold. If leaks are present, shut off the engine and investigate and rectify the issue.
This guide provides a general overview of the process involved in replacing the intake manifold gasket on a 5.7l Hemi engine. Be sure to consult the specific repair manual for your vehicle for detailed instructions and torque specifications. If you're not confident in performing this repair yourself, it's always best to consult a professional mechanic.

amazing tutorial man finna do this to my chrysler next week now

[@moparbro]

thnx for watching!

[@lontarian2228]

Man, how are you able to fix your cars with this f**** cold ? LOL - you're the best !

[@moparbro]

haha thnx brother!

[@cmackinahemi300c]

So did performance and acceleration improve once gaskets were changed I’m picking up my car tomorrow from getting it done.

[@moparbro]

@@cmackinahemi300c hey there, definitely smoother, didn't really feel anything in the butt dyno

[@YoungAmzn]

did you depressurize the fuel line since it spit out a bit of gas? and what did you use to clean the throttle body?

[@moparbro]

@YoungAmzn hey there, I just disconnected the fuel line, some gas spilt but I didn't mind, I used brake cleaner sprayed on a microfiber towel then wiped the blade. There's "throttle body" cleaner but I think it's the same lol. Hope this helps.

[@YoungAmzn]

@@moparbro when you say you wipe the blade what blade do you speak of ? And thanks brother yea I read other places where they pul the fuel pump fuse let it die to depressurize it and another person said just let it sit for half an hour or something but I’ll let it sit overnight so I can pull it like you did, I don’t mind I have 2 other cars I can let mines sit for a day, I do it everyday lol all I do is work n go home

[@moparbro]

@YoungAmzn hey there! ooppss yea I ment the throttle body blade, with the throttle body motor so close to the throttle body blade, I wouldn't spray the area, just spray on a rag and then wipe the throttle body blade. Yea just disconnecting the fuel line worked for me, you also prime the fuel system after but having it turn the ignition to run and then back off, should start.

[@YoungAmzn]

@@moparbro thanks for the info! Huge help! What does prime the fuel system mean when you mentioned after?

[@Toast-117]

@@YoungAmzn bro just turn to run and off run and off a few times, cycle the fuel pump before cranking! or just crank for a while if u want to lol

[@terderiohammond3055]

Any issues getting the line in the back off?

[@moparbro]

@terderiohammond3055 hey there, yea It was a cold day, pulling it straight and leaning back did the trick

[@terderiohammond3055]

@@moparbro thanks broski, I gave up and rotated it enough to change them lol, it's high 90s here

[@moparbro]

@terderiohammond3055 ah yea just make sure it straight and pull straight back, u might fall back but that line is connected to the tranny so it ain't going anywhere

[@hackysmacky]

What are the symptoms the car was experiencing?

[@moparbro]

hey there, I had to replace the vvt solenoid, but I had sputtering acceleration. Definitely vacuum leaks, the gaskets were pretty bad, maybe the reason why the vvt solenoid went? Anyways runs way better now 🔥 thnx for watching!
