3.1 engine known to have intake man. gskt problems
car started to run hot when i was on a trip. I nursed it home, and it was running allright except for running hot. no water was in the oil, i checked it periodically on the way home. the next day i started it and it was ok. on the way home from a short trip [2 mi] it started missing, and when i checed the oil this time it had a lot of water in it. I was going to pull the intake and check the gasket, but i did a compression test first on the front 3 cylinders and they were 150 - 140 - 100 now i'm thinking i should just replace engine. I just want opinions
