Part list-LIM gasket & P&P S/C

Mr D

I'm finally biting the bullet & going to replace my LIM gasket, & while it's off, P&P my S/C with my dremel. I'm ordering parts online & greatly appreciate input on parts, part #s, & brands. As of now, I plan on ordering:
LIM gasket-GM, metal & teal.
Plenum gasket-fel-pro, photo shows it w/ 2 o-rings (?).
TB gasket- fel-pro.

What else, rtv, o-rings, other?

Btw, I already have alum. Coolant elbows, New VC gaskets, & injector o-rings.

Thanks in advance!
 


Yup GM or Felpro metal gasket for the lim.

Sc gasket... You don't need one just rtv that sucker and plug the 2 coolant holes (Billboost has a write up in the how to section)

TB gasket.. Felpros fine

A dab of black rtv on the corners of the lim. If your not using a gasket for the sc grey or copper rtv to deal that.

And decides coolant and oil your set
 
Just went thru this with my 3.8 NA.

I was just over 99k miles and replaced the following:

Recommendation

- First thing to do is Flushed out Radiator and Engine prior to begining disassemble.
- Second is removing water pump and elblows and moving engine back-n-forth as hard
as you can to get as much antifreeze out of the LIM so antifreeze doesn't get into
engine oil area.

- LIM Gasket
- UIM Gasket
- Throttle Body Gasket
- Valve Cover and Grommets Gaskets
- 195 Degree Thermostat with Gasket
- Water Pump with Gasket
- Metal Elbows
- Heater Hoses
- Radiator Hoses
- Cleaned out UIM, LIM and Throttle Body

Last thing to do is oil change and add antifreeze.

Good Luck, George
