I took another crack at it today so i could document it.
Took SC off, cleaned the surfaces, used rtv as gaskets between Lim - IC, and IC - SC.
Also i have 2 videos, one just idle, one with a bit of revving.

As you can see i still have smoke coming from my exhaust when I install the IC without any coolant in the core. Hoses are not hooked up to it either.
