OK, got er done but have another question. The LIM kit (FelPro) came with a bunch of orings and gaskets that I did not use. I take it the kit includes various parts to make it compatible with various makes/models and that I will have extra parts that are not needed? For one, I had a bag of orings left, and it came with these blue edge gaskets that I did not use. Just want to make sure I didn't leave something out. It also came with 2 kinds of thermostat gaskets (the rubber type and the flat gasket type like in the picture--SCRATCH THAT--i CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO UPLOAD PICTURES.). Are both of these suppose to be used or only 1? And, while on the thermostat, what is the best way to bleed the system? So far I have filled it to the top then left it overnight and it is down probably 3 inches from where I filled it, so I will fill it back to the top. Do I then just let it run with the heater on high and crack the bleeder till only fluid comes out?
By the way, both of my coolant elbows came out without breaking. I replaced them anyway, and will probably keep the originals in the trunk or in the toolbox as emergency spares. If anyone can let me know how to post pictures I will post pics of the procedure.
