A couple of quck 3.8L series 2 UIM/LIM questions
Hello,
My haynes says to put sealant on one side of the LIM gasket if they are metal, I assume this is incorrect when using the aluminum frame gaskets. Anyone know for sure?
I've got the LIM soaking in cleaner, whats the best way to clean the runners in the heads themselves?
Thanks,
Tim

Not sure how this slipped past us w/o someone answering..
Do not use any gasket maker on the LIM or UIM gaskets. No need and they aren't designed for it.
Sorry for the late response.

Too late and I didn't use any except for the LIM front and rear seal in the corner where it meets the alum frame gasket. (They had some there on the original.)
Also, the 96 (10/95 manufacture date) doesn't have the aligment holes for the front and rear seals, for what its worth.

Count me in. Hell, I didn't know I was missing something. They sat right in place, and I had no problem lining it all up. Absolutely no leaks, and I'd be able to see them, as I had the heads worked (and cleaned, of course), as well as the LIM cleaned and blasted.
