Hold up.. Erich..why does the T stat have to come out for LIM gaskets?I never take it out, it's extra work for no reason.
I've seen the Fel Pro gaskets and prefer the GM aluminum gaskets. Both should work fine, just a personal preference.
Coolant elbows
Teflon paste (LIM bolts)
Brake cleaner (gasket surfaces)
Gasket scrapers
Ultra copper RTV (LIM corners)
TB gasket
TB cleaner (You gotta clean it)
SC to LIM gasket (aka listed as plenum gasket)
