Replying to: 02impala24 (Jan 15, 2008 6:00 pm) with the impalas that have the 3.4L V6 they almost NEVER blow a head gasket. they ALWAYS blow intake gaskets. i have replaced about 4 doz in the last year. I work for an auto garage. If you under the throtle body where the trany and motor bolt together ill bet you will see a puddle of coolant. i have a 01 impala with 176k and my intake gaskets were replaced.
#11 of 13 Oil Filter Location on 2002 IMPALA 3.4 by bena8837 Jul 22, 2008 (9:26 am)
I have mentioned this before. The engine design on the 3.4 has the oil filter right over a wire harness and everytime the oil filter is removed, the wire harness get saturated with oil. My fear is that those wires will become brittle and the insulation will break off. Does anyone know of an adapter or a way of moving the oil filter locationor any other solution to this problem? Someone recommended putting a hose over the wires but the wires go in different locations? Any help will be greatly appreciated!   Thanks, O. M.

Replying to: 02impala24 (Jan 15, 2008 6:00 pm) One other possibility is the o-rings that are on the plastic elbows that go from the belt tensioner assembly (yep coolant runs through that!) and the engine. If it's a slow leak you might not notice it because it will either run off or evaporate before you can see the problem. You might try taking it to a shop to have it pressure leak tested. Mine had 105K on it when it went bad. Every mechanic thought it was the manifold (I'm waiting for that to go bad too!)
