Looks like it's time 90 LS400 245K miles and the starter is a no-go...Searched and found lots of helpful info and if anyone could post a list of the various gaskets (Part #'s would also be helpful) along the way that need to be replaced when swapping the starter...I would be most grateful

throttle body gasket, IACV gasket, upper intake manifold gasket, lower intake manifold gasket, rear coolant bypass gasket and i think thats it.

Thanks..Is IACV the same as ISC? What about EGR pipe and EGR valve gaskets? Should i replace the fuel injector insulators? Any other hints i can pass on to my mechanic friend?

i would send it off to a place that rebuilds em in ur area brad...we use S & N electric in sacramento. do u have a local napa auto parts? if so go in and ask them who they recommend. good luck with this cuz i know first hand this job can have hidden costs after u start in on it.

Taking it to a local shop that's been here for decades...All they do is rebuild stuff
