Hey Guys, just a few pictures of the LIM Gasket job...
Some turd snuck another picture. I wonder who in the heck did that?
Here is a few of my new Ported and Polished Lower Intake Manifold from Milzy Motor Sports before it went in the car.
Here is just getting the process started...
Supercharger Off. (you can sort of compare the difference between the two LIM's)
Lower Intake Manifold Off
New Gaskets going on (GM Metal Framed ones).
Notice the valley gaskets and the size of the bead of silicone I put on them. The silicone I used was leftover from a fel-pro kit that I had in my tool box. It worked fine in the past so I used it. When I got everything back together, the silicone that beaded out the sides was dry to the touch. Maybe fel-pro's brand is formulated to dry faster than the permatex brand.???

New Supercharger Gaskets going on.
Finally! FInished the Job!
Took almost 4 hours from start to finish. When I first fired it up, it missed BAD. So I threw on my acctron scan tool that I keep in my trunk. It came up with a P0300 code. I was like AHHH SHAT! what did I do wrong? Took a quick glance at the coil packs and noticed that I had mis-routed the wires for plugs 2 and 4. Once I swapped them, the car ran Great! So far so good, no leaks!
