    I was reading the sticky on changing coolant elbows . Is this only on the 3800 or does the 3100 have them also ? RON

    Ron.. if you aim to do the LIM gaskets. Ensure you get the metal replacements, not plastic. The way to know with fel pro gaskets is the metal has a T on the end of the part number.

    Also.. keep the pushrods in order, they are different lengths.

    Thanks for the fel pro tip . I know about the pushrod situation . I have done quite a few over the years . I was a mechanic for 32 years . I have seen the damage mixing them up causes by diy ers who thought they could do it themselves . Thanks again . RON
