    I am wondering what the best LIM gaskets are to use when doing a LIM gasket Job.

    My Car is an 01 GP GT and is 100% factory w/ 175k on it if that matters

    FEL-PRO Part # MS98014T Was the most expensive ones on rockauto but that doesn't always mean they're the best. I was wondering what your experiences where. Thanks

    They just need to be aluminum, so what if the picture shows they are silver in color, you want them.

    Take your pick.. RockAuto or:

    Intense:

    INTENSE Racing: Lower Intake Gaskets (L36)

    ZZP:

    GM ACDelco - Intake Gasket #GM-89017825

    RockAuto either set:

    ACDELCO Part # 89017816
    FEL-PRO Part # MS98014T

    You might want to go ahead and swap out your black plastic upper intake manifold to while you have it off. From my personal experience (which maybe 1 in a million but....) after I redid my lower intake manifold gasket set I reused my black plastic upper and ended up hydro locking my motor when I started pouring coolant in because it was cracked. If you don't want to replace your black plastic piece I'd do what's described in the thread below.
