Troubleshooting a misfire on my 1995 Ranger (#4, happens under load). Due to another issue (running very lean on lukewarm starts) I pulled the upper intake to see if any of the upper intake gaskets are causing either issue... and upper intake gaskets are hard and flattened. The EGR pipe gasket was also in pretty bad shape as well.
I did retighten the lower intake bolts... they were a tad loose, but not finger loose.
My question is if anybody sells the upper intake gaskets without going to a $70 master set, which has lower intake and valve cover gaskets. I didn't plan on replacing either (the valve covers could probably use new gaskets and a repaint though). All the sets otherwise are just the lower intake gaskets, or the lower intake gaskets and upper intake gasket (the flat kind, not the "spaghetti" kind my intake has), and no EGR pipe gasket. If I have to get the master set, fine, I'll might as well replace all of them while I'm in there. But if not, that would save some unneeded work and expense.
