Then let the LT5 sit for a day or so and then see if the starter will turn over. Just a thought

That's a great idea. I'm going to try that tomorrow. Can't hurt nothing. That'll give me time to wrap my head around the plenum removal. My TB coolant is in fact blocked. My only fear is if I can't get it done in a day or two will I remember everything in reverse order? If I can't and forget something I'm pretty much F'd. Why do these things always happen right before a planned road trip?
