Me no feed troll.

Found another website that's been blessed with his brilliance Clean Headlights More Often During The Rain Season I guess he really does think everybody else is an idiot.

Late breaking news! Corvette Forum has had a gut full too! He is at it again - CorvetteForum - Chevrolet Corvette Forum Discussion

Guys- It's possibly time to stop feeding the troll. It appears that he's been playing the same silly games over at the SmokinVette site for years. They've now got him figured out and have stopped taking the bait SmokinVette.com Forums - View Profile: toobroketoretire If you read the posts...

Given the contempt the OP has shown for headers and certain carb types and has outright insults for those who like them, I'm amused and amazed by his use of roller rockers. If there's one mod that's truly a waste of money, it's this. :eyerole Maybe he should pick up where he left off over at...

I've never seen any unique feature of a C3 Corvette that causes it to require more maintenance than any other car of the era. Must be you.

Really? Can you show us one example of you backing down when you've been proven wrong? No. :mad

No it doesn't. Nothing to do with circulation. Fail. :ugh Keep the rest of your car in good condition, change the coolant occasionally and it'll be fine. No hokey wires required.

Small block Corvettes have a factory installed belt guard retained by two bolts. With those these components in place, a screwdriver can be placed between the bolt head and the pump shaft housing to pry the pump for belt tensioning. No such guard on big blocks?

Does it crank over when you turn the key?

I like cheese.

How would replacing a starter overcome a bad ground cable?

Now we know where you got your 'engineering degree'. I searched wikipedia and couldn't find any definition of quench as applies here. Can you give us a link or copy/paste?

Without making the slightest effort, I visited my favourite brewpub* yesterday where I experienced my own personal quench. Then I got back into my summer beater where the engine had 8 more quenches of it's own. *for Mac- Old Mill at Ashton

No, except that hundreds of million of cars have been built with them and there's no real evidence that there's a problem with unacceptably low durability. You'll find the average car that's gone to the great scrap yard in the sky still has it's original bushings while the ca around it fell...

Correct. The applicable analogy here would be taking a wet towel and wringing it out by twisting the ends. It's limp and flexible while at rest but hard and rigid once twisted. The rubber in a bushing reacts the same way when the suspension member is deflected. The difference in hardness...

These snake oil products don't work because it's chemically impossible to destroy or eliminate water in fuel. It's still there. The only thing the product can do is cause the water to suspend and combine with the alcohol content and hope that the engine will burn it off. An 8 oz bottle of snake...

Interesting comparison, but like most similar articles, it completely glosses over the advantages of a captured rubber bushing when put in torsion.

On the contrary- that's exactly what they were designed to do and why every OEM in the world (save one) chooses to use them as a captured-style bushing. A brilliant but simple method of incorporating variable rate deflection compliance vs. single rate. You're also softening the effective spring...

Let's not start the silly ethanol debate. This is not a factor in the OP's engine issue.
