Well guys I just finished up the xp cam install and the gen 3 to gen v swap...i used the zzp l32 to l67 tb adapter. It came with one gasket and some grey rtv, I am pretty sure I installed it correctly, but now it's leaking coolant on to my crossover pipe, anyone else have that problem...only thing I could guess is pull it off and use some red or orange rtv on the side thats leaking and tighten it down real tight?

I don't have one, but I'd say you're spot on with the RTV fix.

Yea I just dont understand, because I used the rtv they provided with the plate which was the grey water pump and thermostat housing rtv.......I'm guessing the red rtv or orange copper rtv is better...will also try using a longer allen key so I can really tighten it down

Btw this is the plate I'm using

Plugging the coolant holes on the LIM is the REAL fix for this. If you don't do that you are just using a band-aid on a cut that requires stitches. I used RTV on mine many times and it stopped leaking out but then started leaking into the LIM.

?...leaking in to the lim?....my brother in law just used rtv on his gen v and never had a problem

it sucks I just dont feel like taking the blower off again...just got done doing a bunch of work on the motor and really dont want to start taking everything off again, I'm just starting to get frustrated I guess ...any other ideas.. maybe another gasket...

You could try and use a combination of RTV and a new gasket. My issues with it going into the LIM was mostly because of something else.

Yea I was kinda thinking that just not sure what to use for a gasket

You could find some high temp silicone sheets at a local home improvement store or possibly a hardware store. Cut a gasket from that and use RTV on both sides.
