Engine intake manifold gasket set has not arrived & the order was made in early december

I'm sorry, but I can't provide visual images or diagrams. However, I can describe the general order of gaskets in a 1999 Dodge Durango engine from the top going down:

1. Valve Cover Gaskets: These gaskets are located on top of the cylinder heads and seal the valve covers. They help prevent oil leaks from the top of the engine.
2. Intake Manifold Gasket: The intake manifold gasket seals the connection between the intake manifold and the cylinder heads. It helps maintain proper air-fuel mixture and prevents vacuum leaks.
3. Throttle Body Gasket: If equipped, the throttle body gasket seals the connection between the throttle body and the intake manifold. It ensures proper airflow into the engine.
4. Exhaust Manifold Gaskets: These gaskets are located between the exhaust manifold and the cylinder heads. They seal the exhaust gases and prevent leaks.
5. Head Gaskets: The head gaskets are situated between the cylinder heads and the engine block. They seal the combustion chambers and coolant passages.
6. Oil Pan Gasket: The oil pan gasket is located at the bottom of the engine and seals the oil pan to the engine block. It prevents oil leaks from the oil pan.
7. Front and Rear Main Seals: These seals are located at the front and rear of the engine crankshaft. They prevent oil leaks where the crankshaft exits the engine block.
8. Timing Cover Gasket: If equipped, the timing cover gasket seals the timing chain or belt cover to the engine block. It helps protect the timing components and prevents oil leaks.

Instructions

1. Removal

Unscrew the bolt that holds the negative connection to the Impala's battery. Set this bolt aside for later use.

Remove the engine cover to access the intake manifold and manifold gasket. Disconnect the throttle body inlet duct from the engine.

Twist off the radiator cap to allow draining of the coolant to flow more smoothly. Place an empty container beneath the radiator's drain plug, and remove this plug. Allow all of the engine coolant to drain into the empty container. Replace the drain plug once you are finished.

Tag all of the electrical wiring and hoses before removing so that reconnection is precise to factory settings. Remove these parts, individually, from the intake manifold.

Loosen the bolts that hold the intake manifold to the Impala's engine block. Lift the intake manifold from the block once all bolts have been completely removed.

Use the flat-head screwdriver to pry the old intake manifold gasket from the engine block. Discard this part once you have removed it.

Clean the engine block thoroughly with the engine degreaser and linen cloth. If necessary, use a gasket scraper to remove excess buildup and grime.

2. Installation

• Coat the top and bottom of the new intake manifold gasket with a chemical sealer so that it bonds to the engine block securely. Position this new manifold gasket so that it lines up perfectly with the cylinder ports of the Impala's engine block.

Place the old intake manifold on top of the newly-installed manifold gasket until it aligns with all of the holes of the cylinder flanges and manifold gasket.

Attach all of the bolts with your hand to the manifold. Once all bolts have been positioned, use a torque wrench and apply 15 foot-pounds of pressure to the bolts to secure the manifold into place.

Reconnect all of the necessary hoses and electrical wiring to the intake. Pour the engine coolant back into the radiator.

Reattach the engine cover on top of the intake manifold and engine block. Start the Impala's engine and check for any leaks around the new intake manifold gasket.

You can purchase an intake manifold gasket set from a local parts store. It should have the upper and lower intake gaskets contained in it. I see you plan on doing the valve cover gaskets as well. It might be a good idea to replace the plugs and wires at the same time to save some trouble down the road. I would recommend doing the oil change and change the thermostat at the same time as well.

This is the entire task for it. It sounds like you might not have torqued it correctly, or your intake is cracked. But take a look at all of the info:

VIN K Engine On these engines, the upper and lower intake manifolds must be removed separately.

1. Properly relieve the fuel system pressure, as outlined in Section 5 of this manual.
   
2. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
   
3. Drain the cooling system into a suitable container.
   
4. Remove the fuel injector sight shield and air intake duct.
   
5. Tag and disconnect the spark plug wires on the right side of the engine and position aside.
   
6. Remove the manifold vacuum source.
   
7. Remove the fuel rail.
   
8. Remove the EGR heat shield.
   
9. Unfasten the cable bracket-to-cylinder head mounting bolt.
   
10. Disconnect the throttle cable.
    
11. Remove the throttle body support bracket.
    
12. Unfasten the upper intake manifold bolts, then remove the upper manifold.
    

This engine has two bolts which are hidden beneath the upper intake. These bolts are located in the right front and left rear corners of the lower intake manifold. This is why it is necessary to remove the upper before servicing the lower manifold.

1. Disconnect the upper radiator hose.
   
2. Remove the alternator, as outlined in Section 2 of this manual.
   
3. Remove the drive belt tensioner.
   
4. Remove the EGR valve outlet pipe.
   
5. Unfasten the intake manifold bolt, then remove the manifold from the vehicle. Remove and discard the gaskets. Thoroughly clean the gasket mating surfaces, intake manifold bolts and bolt holes.
   

To install:

1. Position a new gasket, then place the lower intake manifold over it. Apply a suitable threadlocking compound to the bolts, then install them. For 1995 vehicles, tighten the bolts twice, to 88 inch lbs. (10 Nm), in the sequence shown in the accompanying figure. For 1996-97 vehicles, tighten the bolts to 11 ft. lbs. (15 Nm), in the sequence shown in the accompanying figure.
   
1. Install the EGR valve outlet pipe.
   
2. Install the drive belt tensioner.
   
3. Install the alternator.
   
4. Connect the upper radiator hose.
   
5. Position the upper intake manifold on the lower manifold. Install the retaining bolts and tighten to 89 inch lbs. (10 Nm).
   
6. Install the throttle body support bracket, then connect the throttle cable.
   
7. Install the cable bracket-to-cylinder head mounting bolt.
   
8. Install the EGR heat shield.
   
9. Install the fuel rail.
   
10. Install the manifold vacuum source.
    
11. Connect the right side spark wires on the right side of the engine.
    
12. Install the fuel injector sight shield and air intake duct.
    
13. Fill the cooling system with the proper type and amount of fluid.

3.8L Engine

NOTE The 3.8L (VIN K) non-supercharged engine uses a two-piece intake manifold consisting of an upper air plenum which mounts the throttle body and a lower intake manifold assembly which houses the fuel injectors. The 3.8L (VIN 1) supercharged engine uses a similar lower intake manifold. The supercharger serves as the upper manifold.
Lower Manifold

NOTE Two bolts which fasten the lower intake manifold to the cylinder head are accessible only after the upper intake manifold is removed. These bolts are located in the right front and left rear corners of the lower intake manifold. Remove the upper intake manifold to service the lower intake.
The 3.8L (VIN 1) supercharged engine uses a manifold similar to the 3.8L (VIN K), but the supercharger serves as the upper manifold.

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. On 3.8L (VIN 1) engines, remove the supercharger assembly. Please see the procedure in this section.
3. Remove the upper intake manifold using the procedure above.
4. Remove the EGR outlet pipe from the intake manifold.
5. Detach the engine coolant temperature sensor wiring harness from the sensor.
6. Remove the lower intake manifold bolts and carefully lift off the manifold.

To install:

1. Clean all parts well with degreaser, especially the gasket seal surfaces on the upper and lower manifold pieces and between the lower manifold and the cylinder heads..
2. Install new gaskets to the cylinder heads and new seals to the engine block. Carefully lower the manifold into place. Apply thread-locking compound to the bolt threads. Make sure to install the two hidden bolts in the lower intake manifold. Hand start all bolts, then torque evenly to 11 ft. lbs. (15 Nm). Follow the toque sequence, starting in the center, then working outwards in a circle.
3. Install the remaining components in the reverse order of the removal process.

Upper Intake Manifold (Plenum)

1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. On 3.8L (VIN 1) engines, remove the supercharger assembly. Please see the procedure in this section.
3. Tag for identification, then remove the right side spark plug wires.
4. Disconnect the ignition wires from the fuel rail.
5. Remove the fuel rail. Please see Section 5.
6. Remove the cable bracket from the intake manifold.
7. Remove the throttle body.

NOTE Two bolts which fasten the lower intake manifold to the cylinder head are accessible are accessible only after the upper intake manifold is removed. These bolts are located in the right front and left rear corners of the lower intake manifold.

1. Remove the upper intake manifold bolts and carefully lift the upper intake manifold from the engine.

3. Install the remaining components in the reverse order of the removal process.

it is a pretty basic job the important things to remember is to remove everything sequentially. in other words make a note of which bolts go where. remove the intake and clean both mating surfaces, usually you dont need gasket sealant for an intake manifold. reassemble in the order removed thats about it.
