Mileage on LIM gasket

[dsmuts]

I have a 98 gtp and was wondering how long you guys have got out of your lim gasket. Mine has 195,000 miles on it so i figure it has been changed but had moisture in the oil cap about a week after i bought it so i changed the oil to see how it looked. It looks ok but i still have moisture in the cap about every 2 weeks i'll pop it off and wipe it out and there is moisture in there i'm not noticeably loosing any fluid but i can't rule it out. Thanks all

They last till they leak. Do you do a lot of short trips. IE under 15min.

The shortest trip i do is about 30 min

I have seen the plastic ones begin deforming after as little as 15,000 miles. Usually this won't leak/cause an issue. However it's time you toss some aluminum framed gaskets in there and stop having the worry about the inferior plastic gaskets.

You get moisture if your PCV is disabled also. I use to get some under cap until I got mine working again.

Do it. Do it now. I waited until 170k miles before doing mine, and I know they hadnt been done after 102k.

Two things that kill these motors are failed LIM gaskets and KR.

The odd part is... I've never seen an LIM gasket kill one of these yet. UIM's on the NA's...oh yeah.

I did mine at 123K cause I had some time to do it, and glad I did.
