head gasket question

[Adam]

Im starting to see a little bit of liqid on to of my motor under the intake, I think it maybe the head gaskets starting to seep antifreeze. I have heard a lot of gen 1's have this problem, does anyone know if the later 94 model has this same problem? Also where could I go to find the cheepest prices on the head, intake and valve cover gaskets?
Thanks,
Adam

Make sure that the temostat housing gaskets are not your problem. If it is the head gaskets call Chuck Tator. He's got the gasket kits in stock.

As, Phil Lee, 94 red RT, said.
Generally, there may be exceptions, the head gaskets will leak out the bottom, and deposit coolant on the floor. See picture of mine (you can see the drips):

Those gaskets look like the ORIGINAL Gen1 type fiber gaskets - not sure, but looks like it; not what you want to replace with.

I had some steam out from under my hood the last time I drove my car. I also see "fluid" under the intake. At this point it is sitting, basically done for the year anyhow. I will pull the intake this winter and try to determine where it is coming from. If I have to do the head gaskets so be it. Will give me something to do, had no plans but clean this winter for the Viper.

Do a search on my ID..I posted a series of step by step instructions when I replaced mine.

Tip of the day. Purchase 03 head gaskets for your gen 2 and save some money. For some odd reason they are cheaper than the gen 2's.

All the channels line up??

Can I use a set of head gaskets from an 03 or not? You like to have gave me a heart-attack, maybe I can't afford this car and attend college, lol.

Not for your Gen I, they are different. Good luck Adam,
