Schrade. I had no problems before.

Hey LT4 Man. you are correct the flywheel inner working must be good accoring to the owner. With regards to the car itself. I am the second owner of the car and when I purchased it the mileage was 80K. I am the secon owner of the vehicle. My machine shop also recommended that I replace the...

I wanted to pass on this information to other corvette owners with a ZF transmission and the Dual Mass Flywheel. I have the engine rebuilt on my 1989 Six speed and these guys ground my flywheel for 85.00. It works great withou noise or any other issues. Heres is the link to there website...

I see a bunch of stores on e-bay selling different long and short blocks. Can anyone recommend a good one?

Schrade, my oil pressure is fine, that's what so confusing about the oil coming up on the valve cover from the breather area ans slight oil from the pvc grommet area. I am the second owner. I appreciate everyones comments here tonight. I'm really leaning twords for 383 short block from M&R...

Just a bunch of little things. Front Cranks seal leak, Oil coming up on the valve covers, and two mechanics say either bad rings and a knock. I have a compressin test and a leak down test; all cylinders 150+. The ar is 20 years old and I;m just looking to get back to a solid foundation.

I have a 1989 corvette with a bad front rank seal and some blowby oil on the valvercovers. To temporarily mitigate the crank seal leak is used some seal sweller and for the blowby i have also used some ring sealer. The ring sealer resulted in smoke out of the exhaise at freeway speeds. Prior to...

I have a 1989 conv that has a front cranks seal leak (as evidenced by the oil on the uderside passenger side of the car). My question is, could a bad front crank seal and bad oil pan gasket aloow extra air to pressure the engine enough to cause oil blowby at the vavle covers, or is htis strictly...

I currrently run an Air-oil serperator on the PVC side of the engine (1989) to catch minor blowby from the PVC. I would like to do the same on the passeger side breather to TB connetion. Could their be any adverse effects? or would it be best to use an oil catch can on the passenger side? I...

My passenger SIDE exhaust manifold (in the tube area that holds the air check valve) has developed a small crack and sometimes a mist of oil can seen on the tube. Can this repaired by welding or must it be replaced. Probably loking at headers if its un-repariable.

This weekend whhile changing my valve cover gaskets on my 1989 six speed car, I was pleasently suprised to learn that the car had Air Flow Research heads (190VC) was stamped on the front of the heads. A check of the AFR website but could find no information on the heads. Can I assume that...
