Here is what you are looking for :

when changing it out....the minute you lift your LIM off the heads...coolant will be able to leak into the lifter valley. be prepared with paper towels... and have filter and fluids to do an oil change afterward.

the coolant will leak into it no matter what, as there is a low spot in the LIM coolant passage.

It is really easy to do. also make sue you have all the bolts out before prying up on the LIM...there are some "hidden" ones.... this also goes for the SC. there is one behind the snout.

Good luck!! there is also a How To on this as well!!!

awesome!! thanks man.

also can anyone find the video of the LIM and rocker install that someone did. it was very discriptive and a nice step by step. about 30 mins long. i cant seem to find it.

While you're scraping away the old gasket material, make sure to lay down paper towels or shop towels to keep anything from dropping in. Also stuff all the opening in the heads to keep them free from debris. Here is an example from my gasket install:
