So I have a few days of vacation coming up (to broke to go anywhere nice), and figured I'd tackle the LIM gasket issue. I am not currently experiencing problems with it, just going to do it before hand. I also need to do some routine maintenance, along with it. Just checking to see of there is anything I'm missing or if someone else can think of something.....
Car has 122K
parts list consists of
1. New plenium w/gasket
2. Valve cover gaskets
3. Plugs and wires
4. Fuel filter/clean air filter
5. PCV valve
6. Metal LIM gaskets
7. New thermostat/gasket/rad cap/hoses (if need be)
8. Tranny filter & fluid (dexron VI)
9. Throttle body gasket (incase)
10. Upper and lower plastic elbows (always break)
11. Radiator clean/replace dexcool
12. Oil afterwards
13. Front 02 sensor
14. Beer, to keep me occupied
15. ?????

Any help is apperciated, as sometimes I have a tendency to overlook the obvious. :th_laugh-lol2:

:th_laugh-lol3:, bring your own. Actually doing this at my dads house (they'll be on vacation), and its right up the road from my "local" watering hole, while growing up!!

seafoam before the oil and plugs :th_thumbsup-wink:

Thing that sucks is I just changed the oil about 1500 miles ago.... damn synthetic, Thanks.

Think its ok to use regular oil whilst the first 100 miles after assembly? Always heard that you "can't" run anything but synthetic once its used. Seeing how I switched at 3K miles, its been in there a long time.
 
youre a brave man to tackle all of that at the same time. seriously, if you need any help i can stop by and work with you on it. i kind of miss working on my car.

I actually took off for 12 days... mostly for a mini vacation away from work, but figured I could do this and stay busy. Otherwise I'll just sit around and drink, plus my car has plenty of work to keep you busy :th_laugh-lol2:. You any good at welding and painting?

01GTP=thanks

Just a little extra umphh. Why not upgrade to this while your tearing the top apart.

Your linkey no workey..... unless its the HV3, I'm not putting it in. Would love to just top swap it, but these "maintence" items are getting to be pricey as it is.

Nick, I'm hoping to get my spoiler mounted by the june meet, and I know that the mounting holes don't match-up. If I'm correct, need to add 2 holes and fill 2 holes.(adding daytona spoiler to GT trunklid)
 


You can pick a HV3 up on the cheap used.

Only other things that wear (on the top end) are the pushrods so inspect those, the lifters, and the valve springs.

Unfortunately, it's fill 6 and add 3. That's why I got the whole trunk with mine. Didn't want to mess with all that.

dammit, that sucks. Guess I will be searching junk yards, but I'm not going to be able to find a SE trunk lid in galaxy silver though :th_shakinghead2:
