    Did my lim gaskets, s/c gasket & o-rings, valve cover gaskets, thermostat, coolant elbows and spark plugs today.

    Just bought the car and the old plastic gaskets had a small weep. When I opened it up, it was much worse; the gaskets crumbled in places and the lim was covered in crud.
    Had a few surprizes. the rear valve cover had a hole in it from someone putting the wrong length bolt in the alternator bracket. Couldn't source a replacement on a Saturday so I had to put a plug and rtv in for now. Not looking forward to taking it apart again to fix it.

    the plastic coolant elbows broke coming out so new aluminum ones went back in. The vacuum tee located under the supercharger broke. Ain't paying $35 for a new one so will try to find one somewhere.

    Went to vacuum fill the cooling system and could not maintain a vacuum. Luckily, it was a weak upper rad hose spring clamp, not from the lim gaskets...pheww!

    Before, the car was taking 15 minutes to come up to temp and then was running from 80 to 100 degrees. It was also setting p0128. Now its up to temp fast... and steady at 90 to 95 degrees.

    thanks to the knowledgeable members of this forum for the great how to section.

    Next common problems are the oil pan and engine mount...then I'm done.
