On December 31st at 10:00 A.M. Corey, Tyler and myself started ripping into my car and got all the way down to the LIM and remove it (gasket was replaced before purchasing the car in June and had no leaks). I had purchased a ported LIM and a ported Supercharger and we put in a new LIM Felpro Gaskets. Installed the SSIC with two garlock gaskets one between the SSIC and LIM and one between SSIC and Supercharger. We also installed fuel logs with flow match 42.5 Lucis Fuel injectors and needed longer bolts to mount the fuel logs so that concluded our day on December 31st.
On January 5th, 2009, I arrived at Corey’s place around 6:00p.m. with longer bolts to mount the fuel logs. After mounting the fuel logs, I wrote a bin file to the PCM to adjust the fuel flow for the 42.5. After doing so, I proceeded to start the car; the car turned over very hard, but fired up but struggled to run. So I shut it off immediately, and fixed fuel leaks from the fuel logs. After checking everything over, I proceeded to check the oil and it was milky. After trying to pull the oil plug for 45min, because it was stripped in the oil pan hole, Corey and I finally got it out. I drained it and ran out of time that night to put new oil in. After a few phone calls that night, I proceeded to order from ZZP aluminum LIM Gaskets with GM adhesive.
On January 8th, 2009, I ran to Advanced Auto and got the cheapest oil and oil filter with an oil drain plug and two gallons of Anti-freeze and went home thinking about how all of this was going to turn out on January 9, 2009.
On January 9th, 2009, I received the aluminum LIM Gaskets from ZZP. After work I went to Corey’s place to hit it one last time. I installed the new LIM Gaskets and remounted everything I had. I had no fuel leaks and put my new oil and oil filter in my car. After checking everything out before starting my car; I started the car and seemed to run great for the first ten seconds and then started struggling again. I shut it off and checked the oil and once again it was milky. So I drained the oil again, this time it was milkier than before. After the huge disappointment, I drained it and put new oil with a new oil filter and topped off the Anti-freeze which took very little. I proceeded to start the car one last time, but still struggled. Still disappointed and out of time I left it for the night and called it a day
Do you guys have any ideas what the issue is? Is the LIM bad or am I missing something? This really blows and im getting really frustrated with it….Thanks in advance!
