Thread: Minichopper6hp(Logan)'s Intercooler

Ya it will all be fine. No big deal at all. But ya i got your PM about that. Im glad i went ahead and ordered a new one of those LIM end cap gasket. Thanks for lookin out.

Alright so everything is on and working. I got a few problems though. I got a leak coming out of the thermostat housing. I think the seal is shot and also the thermostat itself. Its been sittin outside of the housing for over a month and a half so am pretty sure that it just doesnt work now cause of it being out. I assume this because right when i took it out for a run for the first time, the temp shot up to over 210 right away. And also when i let off at about 2,000 RPM's, it makes like a screaming whistling noise everytime i get on it then let off. Could it be because the PCV isnt functional and im running a valve cover breather?

No KR though. haha thats a good thing. Definetly noticed a gain in performance.

Some Input on what the scream noise is and if my assumption could be the problem on my thermostat.

Oh and i also have an idle problem. it sounds almost exactly like its cammed. The EGR is deleted but not programmed into the computer. Could that be the cause of why it idles funny? Or could it just be that its been sitting for over a month and a half?

Sounds like you def. have a poor seal between the LIM and the I/C core. As for the squeeling... did you by any chance have your s/c apart before you put it back on? Did you seal it back up cuz they will make that noise if they are not sealed.
