Review on Dorman 615-180 Engine Intake Manifold: A Perfect Fit for Select Models by Matt Travers

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Deformed Throttle Body Mounting Surface

Replaced intake due to gasket leakage. I had no trouble codes just a coolant leak outside. I've read that it's best to repeat the full stroke, which is what I did. I bought this replacement for the Dorman and it turned out to be a good replica of the original design. I've changed, no problem. I was driving and noticed the coolant temp was a bit high. Feige was air in the system. The indicator light came on. Said I had a lean mixture. I took out a can of carburetor cleaner and traced it to the throttle body mounting surface. Placing a ruler on it will set the center about 1/16" further than the top or bottom where the throttle body seals. I took pictures before removing the throttle body. I smeared it with silicone and left it Cure. It's not leaking at the moment but I'll see if I can get another one or get my money back to buy a better design. It comes with all the necessary hardware. It was a plus. I'm only giving 2 stars for that one Reason.If Dorman and Amazon resolve this issue I will update my review.
