Looking for an LIMG kit for a 3100.

[DTMAce]

Looking to find a kit that someone may have that either bought it and didn't use it, or just happens to have a spare kit taking up space. I need a full kit if possible, or whatever you might have. Has to be a metal Fel-Pro

Otherwise I will just buy a kit. Thanks guys.

I thought I had one but its the timing chain gasket kit. Sorry!

Not sure if this is cheaper for you than where you were looking before, but WOT has kits.

Why would you give that goof your money when it can be had for $28 cheaper from Rockauto?

Well, you do realize that "that goof" includes parts that don't come with the set you posted... Itemize it all out and then see what the price difference is.

Last kit I bought was from Advance Auto. Somewhere around 220 with the extra parts, coolant, etc. (I bought the correct EGR gasket, T-Stat, coolant, etc)

I see a throttle body gasket as the only difference. Something you don't even need to take apart.

[Cliff8928]

... And the bolt set at a minimum.

[DTMAce]

Nope. Never used a bolt kit on my last change.

[Cliff8928]

Replacing the bolts is recommended per the official GM procedure. At least on the large-port manifolds.

[DTMAce]

Eh, since its not for a large port, not really worried that much. Mine with without a hitch before.

[3400beretta]

No where does it say it comes with bolts, nor are any bolts pictured from WOT.

Also, the ONLY reason GM recommends changing the bolts is because they come with a sealant applied from the factory. As long as you clean the bolts and re-apply some sealant you can reuse the bolts.

[DTMAce]

^^

Exactly what I was told as well. When I did the LIMG on my Z, all I did was clean them and reuse. Worked fine. Now maybe if I was doing a full rebuild or something, I might be more particular, but not in this case. Don't see the need.

It's $62 from Rock Auto, what is all the fuss about.

Your looking at ~90 shipped up to you in MI... for the bolts and gaskets from RA... all Felpro, the small port version and the perma-dry type.
