    but you over paid in the end. napa parts are the most expensive out there. and thats because they sell better parts, but gaskets are the same. why pay more then you have too?

    They are right by my house and I do not pay retail for anything. It worked out I guess. I got this done today. Took me all day but I took my time to do it right and get everything clean. Car fired up right away without any leaks. I still think the drain for the radiator is suspect. I will keep an eye on it. The video was a huge help. I used it as a guide to figure out what all has to come off and torque specs. Huge thanks!!

    I had an issue before with the temp fluctuating when the car was sitting still idling. It would creep up and then drop once I started to get moving. Didn't think much of it, just figured there was an air bubble or the LIM gaskets had something to do with it. Fresh coolant now and I opened the breather when I was filling the radiator but it still creeps up. I put a brand new 180* t- stat in as well. I can squeeze the upper hose and hear the coolant moving in the overflow tank. The temp hasn't gotten close to 210* just kinda w oundering what these cars run for temp normally.

    I need to fill in my Sig but I have a 2003 GTP with 103k miles. Fresh LIM gaskets.

    Big thanks again for whoever the gentleman are in the video. Thanks for the replies fellas.

    You are such a cheap ass then. Big deal if its 10-15 bucks difference. If you can't afford that, stop driving.

    i chose not to just give away my money, forgive be for being thrifty and shopping around. 20 bucks is like 3 hours work for most people out there. you want to give it up that easy, feel free.
