okay
At boiling the thermostat opens a little but I would expect it to open much more then it does. I also took a garden hose and when any water is put into the upper radiator hose towards the radiator itself water immediately comes out the thermostat hole in the intake.
I also started...
Ok .... I pulled the thermostat today at least the intake does have water in it so thats at least a good sign. I am heating water on the stove to see what the thermostat does and will let you know. I also pulled the oil filler cap of the drivers valve cover and see absolutely NO signs of milky...
how many miles is on the 1990 motor? Is it a corvette motor? when was it last run? where are you located? how much for it?
tell me as much as you know about this engine.
since I saw mostly nice ones in this thread, thought I'de break up the monotony and post my project '90 ..... yep it needs a lot but oh well got a good deal on it and it's complete.
My friend is building a ATI stroker for his 1990 and plans on using a LT1 ati intercooler so it feeds over the radiator like the stock air cleaner. then he is going to buy a ram air thing that ducts air from the license plate cavity into the intercooler.
I've probably idled the engine maybe a total of a hour and half- to two hours since I bought this thing and the oil has remained the same color. I will however pull the valve covers maybe this weekend and take a look.
Do these L-98's use NON re-useable head bolts ??????
I haven't pulled the plugs on it at all so couldn't tell you. How prone are these heads to cracking as well? Just trying to figure my most practicle approach to this engine whether it be fixing it or just replacing it.
Can the oil pan be removed with engine still in the car or is there a...
I bought this 1990 vette which the seller a young kid claimed thats what it had.
I ran the car on a cold rainy day and yes there was alot of white smoke (keep in mind this car has no cats) but today was sunny and considerably warmer car went to about 230 degrees fans running all the time...
I also forgot to add this upper level tank as you call it gets under pressure and coolant gets real hot inside of it.
I tried touching the core and tanks of the radiator and they were cool as well.
is there a certain process for getting air out of the cooling system and maybe thats whats wrong...
eBay Motors: 1990 1991-1995 Corvette Coupe 13 Piece Weatherstrip Kit (item 190269997300 end time Feb-25-09 13:06:52 PST)
I think for 450 it seems like a good deal however wanted to know if anyone has bought from them and whats the quality like on there weatherstripping.
well another question to while I'm at it ....... How well is leatherlike compared to leather? I really like the cost of leather like but wanted to know how well it looks like leather and how well the fit is.
If you went from leather to leather like chime in and post who you bought from as...
Sorry but I have yet another question about these sport seat. They are definately the 89-91 style seats that I am sure of. However looking for mounted leather/leather like seat cushoins I can not find ones like my car has. These new ones have switches only on one side of the lower seat cushin...
my friend bought some new FMS 24lb'er injectors for his from ebay. These were new not reconditioned anyways he bought them for I believe 225.00 and his car runs very good with them.
its on my 1990
temp gauge runs up to 240 but engine seems to feel nowhere close to that. Upper radiator hose is warm but not hot yet gets very hard. with cooling fans running there only blowing cold air. I can see coolant circulating inside that black recovery thing mounted by the firewall...
The 90 I bought has them but nothing works on them when using the switches so I am curious if they were just added to the car and not wired up.
what would be the rpo code on my spid
