UIM/LIM cleaning reminder - 05/24/03 02:18 PM
I'm in preparations to do the world-famous UIM/LIM cleaning (I was going to do it this weekend, but crappy weather is preventing that). I've pored through the archives and recent posts enough to have a decent idea of what I'm doing, and I've stocked up on that B-12 Chemtool stuff. I got my gaskets (UIM, LIM, EGR, IAC, TB) in from fordpartsonline.com yesterday.
Something to keep in mind, though, for the less mechanically inclined: those upper and lower intake manifold gaskets need to be ordered in pairs.
It seems obvious now, but I didn't realize that (it says "set" in the how to), so I thought I was getting this great deal, but then when the order came in, I only had one of each for the UIM and LIM gaskets. A local dealer had the gaskets on hand, and I picked them up this morning.
No big deal, but remember, you have to order two of each.
