    i just broke the elbow before lifting the lim, as i wanted to lift it level so you dont leak coolant in the lim valley.

    Id 100% got those bolts out haha. Hmmm. I can see the gaskets are melted to the outside of LIM maybe this is making it harder to lift off =/

    In this video around 10 minutes in the guy uses a crowbar to pry it off.

    I just can't figure out what leverage point the dudes using!

    under the t stat housing to the tranny or cross over pipe maybe good, just watch you dont smash the temp sensor doing it.

    Coolant sludge on both passenger side ports. Does this mean something? It wasn't like this on the driver side.

    line the inside of the engine with rags right up to the ports. then scrape that crap out of the port there in the head. try to not let any fall in if you can help it.

    its just dex sludge build up. we all have it when we open up the lim.

    Green coolant FTW! How many miles were on your car when you did this?

    A little coolant got in the engine, what should I do?

    Just dry with rags?
