I am doing a job for a relative so they can save some cash. they have a 97 Chevy Lumina that needs a lower intake manifold gasket, i know this is very common and is a PITA. What i'm hoping some of you may be able to help me with is finding me a writeup or a how to somewhere. i have searched and came up with how common this is but i havent been able to find a detailed write up.

if some of you have a connection to aldata or something there abouts that can get me some info on exactly what needs to be done to do this correctly i'd appreciate it

TIA

yeah, i work at a gm shop. its pretty straight forward. just dont be afraid to use plenty of rtv. and go to a dealership and get there gaskets. i think it'll be around $150. one of the main reasons those fail it because gm didn't know the dex-cool would eat the old style gasket. now they're updated materials.
