Best place to mount IAT2 sensor
If it turns out my engine isn't completely fubared I will be installing a standalone IAT2 sensor that I will connect to a gauge. How close to the intake ports on the engine should I mount the sensor? Is it fine in a single cylinder runner?

Are there any tricks to inspecting a head gasket to check for coolant leaks? What's the best way to prep the head for a good seal when I go back on?

Ive never seen an oil pump failure, but i know jeff sells low mile ones, same with water pumps, the newer style has a metal impellar instead of plastic.
For starters on the headgasket i would use a gm one. Specifically the lsj one, fits the l61 as well.

On the intake machined surface, is it only the middle slot that is for PCV? Does the slot between 1 & 2 go anywhere? Because I am using an LSJ intake the PCV ports do not match up. The LSJ gasket doesn't seal around the L61 PCV port.
Should I seal these ports up with something? The only other option, I think, would be to try and machine a slot on the intake manifold's mating surface. Is the stock PCV operation that important? I have a breather filter. If stock PCV won't work would external PCV routing be an option?

The middle slot is used for the PCV, I don't think that the slot on the left does anything. You can modify the IM gasket like this: 1240030026.jpg Photo by balmung92003 | Photobucket
I'm not completely sure how well this method retains the PCV system but I've had no issues so far.

I have a phenolic spacer coming so I might see about just trying to machine that.
