A new design intake gasket P/N 89017279 has been released for service on the 3.1 and 3.4 engines and is currently available from GMSPO. the material used in the gasket has been changed in order to improve the sealing qualities of the gasket.the instruction sheet sent with the gaskets advises the technicians to replace the intake bolts with the new ones that have a thread locker adhesive added. currently the new bolts are unavialable from SPO. in the interim the techcnicians are to clean the existing bolts and then apply a thread locking adhesive P/N 12345382 and tighten to a new torque specification

They're the same thickness as the old style. Same material, except for what was stated.
