Valve steam seals are a MUST. Yes you can use spray sealer on a stock HG. Simple Green is weak, and Castrol Super clean is way too harsh, I use spray engine degreaser and get to scrubbing. Just follow the TSRM and you'll be fine. Always remember that the only difference between you and...

Ab-flug Should be able to get it from rhdjapan.com

I think he needs this shirt...

It MIGHT be a simple as replacing the crush sleeve... You won't know until you take it apart.

Did I mention that it also actually SEALS? Old dipstick doesn't seal in the tube at all, the new one definately seals in there well...

You could always post pics in the costume without the wings :naughty:

LOL, yeah, keep in mind it's NOT cheap, personally I would buy a low milage spare, rebuild it and be done. Rebuilding one that's already blown gets expensive (gears, clutches, bearings, seals) and break-in of the gears has to be done correctly...

I do ;) Already got rod knock once, don't want it again. My oil is a bit dark right now so it's easy to see even on the old 89 dipstick, so I didn't really show how they are different. The Pre-89 is easily the easiest one to read, but it's fugly in the engine bay... Used to use that one...

Only way you're going to hit 400HP as an N/A is by using nitrous, and nitrous is a form of forced induction... The motor is simple not big enough to move enough air to reach those numbers, sorry to burst your bubble, but it's NOT happening.

Well, they didn't test on a drag strip, track prep would make all the difference... Top Gear rips on the Corvette for being a bit unrefined, but they praise it for it's value as a giant killer...

He'd never leave the house...

Physical Therapy is amazing man... My ex had a major problem with her knee, had two surgeries and it still popped, ended up being a knot in a tendon and physical therapy got rid of it.

Screw on mine as well...

Crap, still haven't gotten pics for you guys... lemme go take em... EDIT: Top is Pre-89, middle is original 89, and bottom is updated 89.

Read that link I posted ;)

The actually light housings can be coming unbonded as well (or have cracks) and/or the hatch seal can be leaking. You could just seal the taillight failure box...

I still think internal wear and play allow enough play to impact on the thrust washer and shatter it... Straight cut gears would solve it, but so would going through and checking every spec...

A good O2 sensor has a sheath over the wire..., and it hooks in under one of the pipes right there. It's not as hot as one would think...

That's EXTREMELY rare as the center section of the turbo would have to be cracked for something like that to happen. Not saying it doesn't happen, but it's RARE and BHG is usually more likely... Quick test to that would be to look the coolant lines to the turbo and see if it happens...

My new harness they only would go on one way (not enough slack to get them crossed)
