nope. when i replaced my lower intake with a ported one from WOT_TECH i went ahead and upgraded, but the original gasket was still holding strong. i have replaced 2 waterpumps, but thats a 20 min job. no major issues with my 3400 and i run it hard, real hard, but i maintain it well, i treat my car better than my wife.

my neighbor went out, dried the plugs off, and it putted to life, blue smoke poured out of the exhaust...and then...went clean....the foam never came back in the surge tank... and it runs fine.......what the hell would cause this?

its possible you have a head gasket seaping when cold and seals when its warming up. it would possibly explain the wet plugs and sputtering til warming up. we see it with diesel engines.
