    On a side note, I'm going to be doing this as well soon (hopefully within the next month depending on weather).

    The vac lines mentioned... can anyone provide more info? I don't remember reading anything about losing vac lines in the process.

    the coolant elbows. fvckers wouldn't seal up the first time using vaseline, so i took it one step further and broke out the crisco, got them suckers slicker than owl sh*t, and i let them fit themselves into the hole and then i snugged it down ever so gently. needless to say, no leaks
