how do I replace a intake manifold gasket?

I have a 89 mitsubisi pick up and i have water in my oil. Te truck will turn over but will not start. The oil is gray in color and shows over full on dip stick.
Yhe truck ran hot on me on the way home. I checked the water in the radiator and filled itup. Went to check it this morning and it would not start. I looked under the hood and a little water was leaking around the water pump.Still will not crank. when I checked the oil it was light gray in color andshowed over the max mark on the oil stick. I was told it may have busted a manifold gasket thank you

Sounds like coolant in cylinders ..if coolant is in oil its a best bet that you hav a blown headgasket after you ran it hot ...

Good news, its not an inlet manifold gasket thats gone!
Bad news, its your cylinder head gasket.
Answer, Take it to a mechanic who knows what there doing!!!
