Alright, TB, LIM and SC are all cleaned up and ready to go. Gasket surfaces are nice and clean. I am still miffed that someone didn't put a TB gasket on and used gasket sealer. The TB was so dirty, it took me 45 minutes to get it nice and clean.
I forgot to say that a sure sign the LIM gaskets were shot is when I took off my oil cap, it wanted to stall, but managed to regained itself.

Sounds like the "dealer" who did the original replacement had a crappy mechanic and no quality control.
Anyway, looks like you are doing it right this time. Are you using the newer aluminum framed LIM gaskets?

Question that is very important is...... What is the tightening sequence and what should I tighten them down to? I need this for the LIM, SC, and the TB. I just recently made a deal here on the forum to buy service manuals, but I haven't sent the check out yet.

No aluminum framed gaskets for Series 1. Use Fel-Pro or OEM.
Torque sequence should be a zig-zag. Torque in stages. Half torque zigzag, then 3/4 torque value zigzag, then full torque zigzag.
Sanding down the LIM is not good practice. It could cause vacuum leaks at idle and Boost leaks at WOT.
