I finished up replacing the LIM gasket, plug wires and valve cover gaskets last week. Everything seems to be dry after about 100 miles of driving maybe a little less.
My questions, have any of you guys seen lower boost gauge numbers after this gasket change? I am only seeing the 7.5 mark in first gear near the top of the RPM and not at all in the 2nd or 3rd gear ranges. I only see about 5 there. Is this an indication of gasket leaking? Maybe belt slip? I did reinstall the old belt (40K+ miles) and tensioners (factory parts, almost 90K miles). Could this be a leak at the lower injector seals or something simple like that? Or is this normal for our excessive heat and humidity here in Al?
