  1. On the gauge cluster with Tach/Fuel/Coolant temp yesterday where the miles indication is, it reads Er IU and the coolant temp and fuel gauges would drop all the way then jump back up to where they should be. Also the red lamp that indicates if you open a door/the trunk lid would light up with the gas light when the fuel gauge would drop to E. This gas light problem only ties to why it seemed to be malfunctioning.. i have 3/4 tank of gas.. no leaks i think the instrument panel is just malfunctioning hence the ER IU on where your miles are displayed.. anyone??
  2. Yeah, this is a weird gasket kit to me.

     

    It's missing several copper bank bolt washers that you'll need, but you get the aluminum washers/gaskets for the piston pin access plugs (item #1 above, which the FSM says you need to use sealant on also and there are other plugs on the cases which don't have those aluminum washers and you only use sealant).

     

    and it's missing all the exhaust gaskets downstream of the motor, so you have to get those separately.

     

    but yet it includes a water pump gasket, thermostat seal, water pump dust seal - all of which normally come with a water pump. And if you were re-using a water pump during a motor rebuild, you don't necessarily have to replace the thermostat either, you can remove the pump from the cases without touching the thermo.

     

    and as mentioned, missing the two cam bore plug (half-moons, p/n 11051AA070) which it would be foolish not to replace it doing a whole shortblock.

     

    There also aren't new o-rings for the cam position sensors, which would be nice. Same for the fuel injectors, each injector has a big one and a smaller one, would be nice to get those too (all 10 of those would cost an extra $4)

     

    missing the o-ring for the inside of the oil fill cap, not a big deal but would be nice

     

    missing the o-ring for the dipstick itself (at the top), not a big deal but would be nice

     

    missing the seal for the center plastic timing cover (one on top, one on bottom),

     

     

    For posterity,

     

    item #1 - piston pin access plug washers/gaskets

    item #2 - rear main seal (duh)

    item #3 - ???? I forget, but I think these go between the cases

    item #4 - interestingly enough, this is the #4 piston pin access plug o-ring, for the little cover that goes on the rear end of the drivers side case

    item #5 - between the cases

    item #6 - for case bolts

    item #7 - head gaskets (duh)

    item #8 - oil dipstick tube where it mounts into the oil pan

    *item #9 - oil pump o-ring where it mounts to the case

    item #10 - goes on the oil pan for the main oil drain

    item #11 - oil drain pug washer

    item #12 - piston wrist pin circlips

    item #13 - non-AVCS cam seals

    item #14 - AVCS cam seals

    item #15 - timing cover dust seal

    item #16 - timing cover dust seal

    item #17 - AVCS cam o-rings for the little covers that cover the cam gear bolt

    item #18 - valve seals

    item #19 - valve locks

    item #20 - valve seals

    item #21 - valve cover gasket (passenger)

    item #22 - valve cover gasket (driver)

    item #23 - valve cover gaskets (spark plugs)

    item #24 - front crank seal (oil pump)

    item #25 - little seals for the passenger side of the oil pump, basically dust seals like those for the timing covers

    *item #26 - oil fill tube

    item #27 - water pump gasket

    item #28 - thermostat seal

    item #29 - dust seal for the side of the water pump

    item #30 - oil cooler o-ring

    item #31 - intake manifolds

    item #32 - "throttle gasket" which means this goes in the TMIC inlet, right where it bolts to the turbo compressor outlet

    item #33 - TGV/intake to heads

    item #34 - fuel injectors

    item #35 - fuel pipe

    item #36 - turbo oil

    item #37 - copper washers for oil lines (these are the bigger 12mm ones, need min 4 for just the drivers side head, so this isn't enough)

    item #38 - copper washers for oil lines (these are the smaller 10mm ones for the turbo side)

    item #39 - coolant crossover pipe (water pipe on top of the cases, to the upper radiator hose)

    item #40 - exhaust manifold gaskets (duh)

     

    Been poking around forums looking for a good price on a head gasket kit.. trying to avoid a whopping 350 from the dealer (but will suffice if i have to) noticed your comment on this thread and was wondering if you had the part numbers for those peices missing from said kit. Checked amazon and they have an ok deal for the oem suby kit but id be more worried about the pieces you mentioned.. any suggestions?
