yeah for those with the 3400 you should know it's the LIM gasket. Yeah that was a fun and exciting oil change. One minute i'm putting oil into it and the next i'm having a WTF moment as I see a puddle of coolant on the block. So I began to take it apart. Keep in mind this is while i'm at work at firestone and at this point i'm getting paid to work on my own car. So atleast that's the only plus out of all this. As of now my car is outside with the motor torn apart and the upper plenum and lower intake manifold just got sent out to the racing shop to be ported and polished. I figured what the heck as long as I have it all out why not lets get some more performance out of this problem. So hopefully all turns out well and then I get the fun project of trying to put it all back together and not have any bolts left :lol:

Dang! No wonder the Jeep is lighter now! :D
I was always told that you did the job right if you had a bold or 2 left over...

I look at extra bolts as I engineered it back together better and being more efficient.

Better power to weight ratio.
