So its been almost 6 months now since the LIM gaskets were replaced. All is well, just added a few ounces of coolant to the expansion tank to bring the level back to where it was six months and about 7K miles ago! Car has run really well ever since. Next project - replace the rotted rocker panels when it gets a bit warmer.
Not clear if it was related to the LIM gaskets, but I have not had to add a drop of oil between changes since the gaskets were replaced. Used to go through a quart every 2K or so.
