Waht makes you thing you need a LIM gasket?? Not being a smart ***, just trying to see if maybe some local yokal gave you bad info. More likely that you have a vacuum leak than a LIM gasket leak.

uhhhhhhhhhhh I dont think installing a paper gasket and 2 O rings would be difficult even for a broken handed 17 y.o. ....

once the stuff is all removed and old gasket removed, fairly easy job to do...

you can use RTV or not, depends on what you want. RTV will leave the gasket in place while you can install the LIM

l-p

i got all my other leaks fixed this is the last thinh left i peronally know the owner of the shop and they got the other leaks and my intake gasket is like literally hanging. and i have a cast on and if someone is willing to write a in depth step by step then go for it i would MUCH appreciate it.

I just did this a few weeks ago. Its not bad but you have to remove a lot of **** to get to this and do it right. You need to get an FSM its critical for the vacuum reconnections. Its really complicated and its a lot easier to do it with the diagram in front of you.
Search for an FSM for your car here, i got it that way. Itll be a lot easier.

I see, you do need a "hand". (get it?) Its hard to reach in there and work if you can't straighten your arm. There would be no way to wiggle the LIM loose with only one hand any way.

C'mon you guys give him the benefit of the doubt. Don't be so quick to flame.
