Welcome to the site, and tbh, it's a smart thing you did the LIM gaskets. If i every buy another gp. That's the first thing i'm doing. And VC gaskets to go with it.

Tbh tho, if you already had that much off the engine, you should have went a little farther and just topswapped ahah i kid i kid.

If you know how, Post up some pics. Again, welcome, hope you learn alot here
