Ill look but from what the bolt manufacture Arp is telling me some time ago, torgue to yield are a whole different animal than the old bolts you could actual check the torque on to see if any where loose. Its metallurgy and all i know about metal is Ozzy.

Yes on the vin. Not sure how to update. Ive sent many emails on cars listed on sites for sale That had no information on registry but none got updated so im not sure.

Search c6 corvette radiator removal. Some process. Your 04 most likely only has oik coolers on passenger side. Check it before you start because the radiator you may have bought only has one set of cooling lines. Only real problem is seperating the condensor from the radiator. They are made to...

Fiberglass springs really dont sag. They can break but look at the adjuster bolts and pads how much of the stud is thru the spring? Thats a lot of lowereing.

I agree especially if tire sizes have been changed or the car lowered or been raised as some do. For sure the adjuster wear and ompress changing the height

It requires a whole lot more than a tuner to install an ls. Its not a direct swap. All the electronics have to changed and a lot of fabrications. As far as leaking ive seen more northstars With clean oil pans than oily. The valve covers can and do leak, plus the cam phasers do leak. Other than...

Thanks for shareing. Did you happen to run across the area in the tech two to recalibrate the settings for the car at rest?

The radiator has 12-16 pounds of pressure while the cyinder pressure is 125-175 pounds. If a head gasket leaks there is no way on earth that the coolant pressure comes in the cylinder but combustion does not get into the coolant. Its been that way since the model tee . steve morris engine...

Good description.pretty close to the way i do it. Id love to see how the factory got it all in there on an assembly line. Haha

Whats your trick for getting the ood swollen pump out and getting the new one with lines back in the tank without crimping?

Ive done several. Just nuts and bolts and tight spaces. If you dont repace the Left fuel crossover lines you may be doing it again. I sell those new. Plus actualky knowing which pump and gauge to use because the wrong one is listed on almost all the do it yourself sites and your gauge will not...

Just a note but i sent the v cams to a cam grinder withe the stock cams and he said almost no difference in them. In fact he said they were so close he could grind the base cams just as well. Im not sure if the member that sold them to me got them mixed up or someone swapped them at some point...

Thats a lot of money just to change over to coil overs. I really dont feel they are needed unless you are going to track the car. In fact they say they are not recommended for dailey driver. Not sure but there must be a problem with Jeffs car other than shocks. I find both the non mag new and...

Sounds like youve got it. If that sealed ball and socket get worn it can pop.

People dont realize there are tons of accidents that carfax never gets. If you run into my car and your insurane pays at a local owned body shop there is a 50% chance it wont get picked up. if it does i can sue for diminished value so insurance companies dont always file so that carfax can pick...

Thats pretty much it. pulley slides off the splined pump. I rebuild the tensioners and the pulleys. I also have a couple of pumps left . the tensioner is very strong takes 40 foot pounds to compress it . if it has loose play its bad. If its leaking its bad. 500$ for one when new. I rebuild them...

Headlights look aweful.its missing the upper radiator support , headlight washer , looks to be missing front radiatorbduct. Lots of important parts missing on the front that you can see. Who knows what else is missing. front lower grile is oem. Upper is aftermarket and poorly installed as it...

The top was designed and i think built by CTS Fahrzeug-Dachsysteme They did build the mercedes tops along with others. I doubt gm paid anything to MB unless they somehow had a patent on top in the trunk. But i think thats sort of like tailgate on a pickup, you have to e very spevific and do...
