Had upper and lower intake manifold gaskets replaced. A couple days later it coughed, won't start and radiator hose collapsed.

Hi again Kim,

Thanks for getting a new post started. I just responded to the other post so if we can check out the radiator for a restriction and then the radiator cap as well, or just replace it as I stated in the other post.

Also, here is the guide for the head gasket if the engine will not restart:

I doubt this is related to the manifold gaskets, but we need to start checking out the info we have and see where it leads.

Please try to respond to this post as it is best that we have a new one started for this issue as I suspect it will not be related to the other one.

Thanks
