93SE, LIM Gasket change.
Few things I've learned so far:
Fuel is pressurized, I guess I should have known that as the FSM made no mention of it... I have good Fuel Pressure.
The instructions in the FSM suck.
I was missing two parts of my front LIM<>Head gasket, making it suck unfiltered air and who knows what else.... Lovely thought.
The rear side of the LIM looks like it'* been charbroiled or something, Definatly need to get rid of some heat.
There is a 1/4" layer of nasty on the inside of the IM and Heads, Hopefully I can remove that....
Somehow there'* an oil streak in my TB, it'* coming from that air hole in there... I think it'* the fresh air inlet for the PCV. This may have been the small oil leak I've been tracing.
#5 & #6 injectors have like a burned look to them, That'* odd... The others are shiny...

Wow, Reinstall of the LIM was easy as heck.
I spent from 12 til 5 cleaning parts, there was a whole lot of gunk I never saw.
I got the threadlock on the LIM bolts, and them finger tight before I realized my torque wrench is 1/2" drive and my extensions are 3/8".
I've got probably 5hp off the line going up to 10+ at redline. This baby hauls more a$$ than she ever has. If the TB gets me this much more I'll be very pleased. I burned out First time in months
