As far as I know that was what was installed last time....

[stillriza]

Im glad Im covered by warranty.. I am actually hoping mine goes now while im still covered for another 20kms. I feel your pain though.

if mine were to happen a first time...id fix it..but a second time..id send it back to a dealer and get something else..something cheeper and bide my time till i have enough dough for a nice newer car. just my opinion

good luck though.

Why??? It's not a Ferrari

[Tank]

that really sucks, my damb dash board is curling up all over

[AaronGTR]

If it's fixed right the first time with the right parts it shouldn't ever be a problem again unless you have somehow damaged the mating surfaces on the heads/LIM. I replaced my LIM gaskets once just to have to new version to be safe, but I've never had a single leak on my engine.

I'm at #3 now.

Yur absolutely right.... but for those of us that only have 6" of clearance and can get 5'+ of snow over the winter it's in my best interest. And it's not that I don't trust my winter driving skills, it's the fact that there are way to many people in this city that drive like retards and I'd rather not have my insurance prems. go up.

I have more snow than you, Im from Yellowknife N.T... I use my car all year around and my car is still in mint condition.

But thats cool that you park it.

How many miles before those gaskets went out? My '99 3400 is still going on it's original, but it only has like 40,000 miles.

Yeah, i know how it goes, etc... Just that mine hasn't yet. I had a couple friends have theirs go out.

I looked at the side of my LIM and I saw coolent leak (small one) and my car had warranty on it so I took it back to the dealer to fix it. If you see a leak on the LIM I would get it fixed before it goes. Or it will cost you $$$$

Snow + SC/T front lip = Snowplow... hence why I park it :)

mine went out around 14,000 miles for me. Had mine fixed at the dealer under warrenty. I also have the extended warrenty good for another 3 or 4 years.

you can plow peoples driveways for $$....couple bucks on the side

[silvergtjrad]

Mine had an extremely small leak, but I swapped over to the 3500 heads and gaskets and its been fine since then @ about 50k

X 2!

[Vimjah]

well... the LIM is out and soon to be done

[nickofcourse]

is there a loss of performance when it goes? im not burning antifreeze hence no white smoke out of the exhaust, and there seems to be no antifreeze in the oil.

i guess that leaves visually inspecting the lower intake for signs of coolant?

[GMMike]

Mines is the same way.

[Jake]

Im currently at 31K Miles on my Gt, I am hoping mine goes before my warranty is up at 50k. And that both my window motors go out :) Mine went at 120k on my old Se and its now my sisters, everytime she comes over I check for it, now at 152k no probs so far.

[nate2023]

I don't know what i'm doing wrong, my engine is at 100k and i still haven't had this problem, its the original gasket too. Maybe i should break it just to feel like part of the crowd

[Ajaxus]

dude, i used to live in canandaigua...


/ot

[nate2023]

Live here then, i guess LIM gaskets dont break here :)

[gobraves00]

break it and feel the unaffordable fun like the rest of us, 2 times for me

[nate2023]

The funny thing is, my moms car is newer and it went already she hates me now, i think i need to find an apartment now!
