    Listen to him closely though, becuase some of that stuff you do not have to do. They are also showing you how to change the lifters.

    It's pretty simple, actually. The only trick is draining the coolant to minimize getting any into the crankcase. Get you a couple quarts of cheap oil, and pour over the lifter valley before you install the LIM.

    Drain it through the little valve on the lower driver side of the radiator.....and then you can also remove the front knock sensor because it threads into the coolant passage.

    I have a detailed write up at NAIOA, but you have to register to see and it's on the L36 engine (though L67 would be very similar).
    2004 Impala LS - got some mods sold!!!
    2009 Subaru Impreza WRX STI

    NAIOA moderator Still Imp'n, just in a different Imp.
