I've heard about a type of mod that is just a piece of non thermal sensitive gasket that you put between your engine block and intake manifold, thus decreasing the intake manifold temperature. Anyone heard? Seems like a cheap mod, a piece of plate only. But a non conductor thing that can withstand high temperature of the block might be expensive..

Hi, need some advice here. Just came back from a regular servicing of my 7-yr old Lancer GLX, and was told by the mechanic that the valve cover gasket and plug seal needed to be replaced for $195, as there was some leakage seen on the spark plugs. I thought those things are just some rubber seals, and was wondering if that kinda price is reasonable? Thanks for any advice.

On Sat, I was placing my car on the hoist at Teo Hin Tires and I was looking under the car cos the previous day at Park Mall, my car's right centre beam "sat" on the top edge of the car park for a short moment, thus I wanted to check the damage (luckily non). But I saw other stuff like some oil around my gear box. Upon closer inspection, my friend and I noted that the gasket had not been well seated when the mechanic was doing my gear box the last time around for servicing. Here's a look at the gear box after we self-disassembled the top portion of it.

I helped my friend replace engine oil for this 2002 Ford Focus (in USA, 2.0 ZETEC engine). He has about 60k km on his car, and I found that the middle part of the engine is oily, to the point of forming drips. This is observable near/under the exhaust manifold area. Valve cover, oil pan, front/rear seals are completely dry. Does this mean the head gasket is bad? Is this a common problem?
