    Default LIM Replacement Parts Quest.

    Okay so Im planning on doing the LIM job with my dad and replacing dexcool with some green coolant, so of course I had to make one of these threads.
    Went to autozone and was planning on buying elbows, lim gasket, sc gasket. Came out with a lim gasket. They didnt have aluminum elbows and they didnt have sc gaskets in store.
    This is what I know that I need so far, but I know it isn't full. Please comment with what other parts Ill need as well or what kind of what to get and where. Thanks.

    also, driving with a broken thermostat is ****ty. makes that intake scratchy.

    My list:

    Fel Pro
    MS98014T........Aluminum LIM gaskets..............................$51.79 - X
    ES70599...........Fuel Injector O-rings (need 3)....................$1.91 - X
    VS50465R.........Valve Covers (L67) w/grommets.................$40.79 - -
    MS95744...........Plenum (SC to LIM) gasket w/rings (L67)......$8.43 - -
    61024..............Throttle Body gasket (L67).........................$3.52 - -
    35595..............Thermostat Housing gasket........................$1.00 - X
    35666..............Thermostat Seal (rubber)...........................$1.87 - X

    Dorman
    47065HP........................................... ...Aluminum Coolant Elbow -

    Other
    12345982..........GM S/C Oil (M62 1, M90 need 2).................~$10 - -
    1052943......Gasket Maker(Anaerobic seal, snout to body seal).....? - -
    Coolant(not sure what kind or how much, never used coolant)......? - -
    Thermostat........................................ ..............................$10 - -

    (still deciding 180 vs 195, leaning towards 180 cause we dont have bad winters but have horrible summers, but idk about gas mileage.)

    X means I have it
    - means I don't.

    Go throw rockauto for metal coolant elbows. You could probably get everything there and it would be cheaper.

    I know there was one recently with all the info. I tried searching to link you and couldn't find it. here ya go.
    I left a few thinks like t stat, valve cover gaskets and SC oil in there in case you were aiming to go the whole way on everything possible. Only thing missing is some sealant with PTFE aka teflon for the LIM bolts.

    Alright so i already bought the lim gasket at a local autozone and it came with RTV so im good on that, but thanks for the rest.
    And i did search but every one had different stuff and it wasnt in a list so it was kind of confusing, so I just wanted to make sure.

    Actually I think it came with orings and intake housing gasket and seal too..

    EDIT: This is what is all contains:
    http://www.autozone.com/autozone/par...6_482003_5297_

    OR:
    Lower Intake, End Seals, Water Outlet, MAP Sensor, Water Inlet, O-Ring, RTV

    What the hell are these blue and red things exactly?

    Blue and red things are the end seals. Only one of them fit your car.

    the top elbow is going to break when you take the lim off, you need new elbows for sure. they are a 3 bolt job really, nothing to them really.

    Im getting elbows anyways, im talking about the tb gasket and the ..gasket maker? Is it just a gasket or do i literally need to make the gasket lol.Thanks for your help btw I am sure most of my questions are pretty newby and redundant. I just like to be as clear as possible so I don't purchase the wrong stuff or do the wrong thing.

    its like rtv, but the snout can stay on, same as the TB, it only need to come off if you want to clean the TB real good. ir if you need a new coupler in the snout, other then that leave them alone, take the whole sc off as one.

    tb uses a gasket,

    snout uses anoboilic sealer or some crap, i can remember its name or spelling lol but its like a rtv, you smear on a very thin layer and bolt the snout back on, no gasket.

    i used black high heat rtv 2 years ago and its been fine for me so far.

    Alright.. to check my coupler can I just pull off the sc belt and put it back on or what.. never messed with any belts before not sure how that works. I know you check for play in the coupler though once you got the belt off.. cause if it needs replacing then I will.

    MS98014T includes upper and lower injector o rings as well as the t-stat gaskets.

    So can anyone answer my question? cause any time i google it people always already have the belt off. Could be simple as just pulling it off but i wouldn't know I've never messed with any belts...

    belts are the first step.

    use 15 mm socket, push or pull so that slack in belt is there. Pull the belt off.
