A few weeks back, I noticed a slight sucking sound that got louder with acceleration. I thought it was a leaky BCA but I talked to markviiisvt4 today and he said it may be the LIM gaskets since they ARE leaking oil, well sure as ****, i got the trusty sprayer out and sprayed down where the gaskets are, bubbling like crazy, and there is oil down there. He told me the gaskets were replaced by the dealer a while back and they may have overtightened them and cracked the plastic parts on the gaskets. So anyone reccommend anything to replace while i have it ripped apart?

Bump ^^^^

Got everything off but the LIM. How should I drain the coolant out of it?

Use the petcock on the radiator to drain the coolant. You have to remove the splash shield first. Then, on the bottom of the radiator on the driver'* side you'll see a valve. Have a drain pan ready, then open that valve. The coolant will flow straight toward the ground.

Already got it. I drained the LIM via the lower hose on the WP. Makes me mad to see what I found..... I pulled the TB off the SC and found that someone did not use the proper gasket and gooped gasket sealer on it. Needless to say, I found evidence that coolant was getting sucked into the engine very slowly. I also found that the SC had 2 bolts slightly loose.

If you found that the coolant was getting sucked into the engine then you need to get the oil drained ASAP. Coolant will eat at the bearings and cause engine damage that will likely cause a complete failure.

No sign of it in the oil at all. It was being sucked in the combustion chamber. It must have been VERY little cause there is the normal soot in there and no sign of coolant. Maybe it wasn't sucked in. I just didn't trust the fake-o gasket someone made.

Good news...

You found an issue that was probably causing the problem. Get the lower intake off. Replace all the gaskets, cleaning all your surfaces very well (I like to use brake clean on a rag to get the last oils off...mechanic trick) reassemble with the right gaskets..and you'll be off and running in now time.

Better yet is starting fluid. It'* pure alcohol. Best solvent I've ever found. And cheap compared to other "cleaners". Talk about an old mechanic trick.
