Thread: my LIM job... with updates

when i did my first lim job i was helping another member on here with a gt his wasnt as bad as far as build up but he also had already flushed dex cool out before his was actually leaking we got to one point where we couldnt get the lim off rookie move on my part forgot there were inner bolts that were both covered in oil so we didnt see them lol i felt like a dumbass

we also broke a vac line but that was it

Did the upper intake have melted areas from the EGR stovepipe?

Hey now. Not funny.

I was thinking about putting the L26 upper in, but seems like alot of fabrication...... time which I don't want to bother with. That'll come with the turbo

My words exactly. If it was plug-and-play, I would obviously do it. Just too lazy.

when people said "minor" fabrication. I was like **** let's do it, but then reading this...no thanks, have enough work

See, I thought there was only one hidden bolt.. but thats why the intake plenium says theres 2 hidden. I was actually looking at it and wondering why I couldn't get it off. Only found the first one because of reading about it being covered in oil, but the dogbone mounting bolts actually stop it from being removed. Only because I'm putting the bolts back where they came from. Just so I don't have so many parts on the ground.

But so far nothing has broke, but my coolant elbows were replaced 15K ago.

I'll go look at my plenium.....
no warpage or melting, but the LIM has a metal stovepipe??

thinking I will .... and thanks for reminding me about the hidden bolts. Your thread about the LIM oil thingy popped in my head while I was removing it, awesome sludge. Figure I'd add my experience to the world, as I've never done something this in-depth on a car before.

Good thing autozone has 2 4 1 brake parts cleaner now!!!
