Lim - 3.1

[heavydtheogre]

Ok i got most of the to the LIM out, and having problems getting the LIM to loosen up - how many bolts and if all the bolts are out, what is the best way to get the lim seal to release???????

 

[heavydtheogre]

ok I used a skinny wood chisel where the gasket was and was able to pop it free after about 5 min.

So much fun huh?

 

[heavydtheogre]

it was on - i thought i missed some bolts - nope - just been there so long.

Make sure you put the pushrods back int he right order. Ugh..different length rods..lol the 3800 seems so much easier.

Thanx - didnt know

Make sure you clean all the gasket surfaces as well.

You gonna paint everything while it's off I'm guessing?

I'd do white...offset all the blue.

 

[heavydtheogre]

Ya i have a pic in my thread

white - valve covers, plenum - plastic sheild under rad, thermostat housing

Blue - LIM, steel tube running over LIM

Looks good make sure you use rtv where the coolant line goes into the lim.

 

[heavydtheogre]

ok - will do

I used a thin wooden created developed kind where the gasket was and was able to pop it no cost after about 5 min.Make sure you put the pushrods returning int he right buy. Ugh..different duration allows..lol the 3800 seems so much simpler.
