    LT4 Roof Leak

    Maybe a dumb question but did you clean the weather stripping really good? (both sides) if so there is a product that you can purchase from a pool supply store that is a lubricant for a pool filter O-Ring that I use and it makes a really tight seal, offhand I can't remember the name of it but...

    Help! Won't Start

    Wow it's been quite awhile since I logged on to post anything and I'm surprised no one has replied yet. I think your right going with the starter you might have a dead spot inside. try giving it a smack wherever you can get at it, from under or from the top using a long drift. Good Luck.

    Question: Exhaust

    I have corsa's on my LT4 and can't believe how many compliments I get on how it sounds, Long trips no problem. I would have them on my 99 but that has Z-06 exhaust on it. Talk to five people and you will get five different opinions , I wouldn't want my cars to sound like some of the pick-up...
