    So earlier I was asking for the thermostat housing bolt size because yesterday I put the wrong bolt in. When i tried to take the bolt out it snapped. Then i tried drilling it to get the bolt out but i couldnt drill the metal. Then I tried using a rotary tool but that didnt work either. I messed it up pretty bad. Any suggestions of starting a new whole and new threading. Or should I just buy another LIM -__- Thanks

    Yeah you need another LIM lol. I messed the threads up in the very same tstat housing bolt holes in the lim, luckily I was able to tap them. But yeah. Are you n/a or boosted? You should be able to pick up a LIM pretty cheap at a junk yard.

    If you can't get one I can get one for you. Also...have you done your lim gaskets yet?

    Ah man, I was fixin to say maybe you haven't done them and it would be convenient.

    And if he doesn't get you an LIM I can get you one really cheap. My local yard has $250 whole engines, $50 blowers, I'm pretty sure the intake manifold is like $10-20 iirc.
