That’s seems very dubious to me. What’s the normal variance on LS1s? What was the actual cause of failure of these 3 engines? I can understand that being an issue if the thermostat “snapped open” and dumped large amounts of much lower temperature coolant into the water jackets. . How...

That is a very interesting theory / observation. How was it determind that the scuffing was actually caused by the thermostat setting?

OK, here we go again……. You car will NOT FAIL anything with a 160 TStat. Having a 160 Tstat alone DOES NOT mean it will run at 160 degrees coolant temps, it will just take longer to reach higher operating temps. You still need a manual fan control to keep the coolant temps down unless you...

There is no question that all C4s have a direct mechanical connection for the brakes, transmissions and ignition systems. If the throttle stuck open for any reason and the engine actually ran wide open - shifting to nutrual, stepping on the brakes or truning off the ignition would all work to...

Eventually it will need replacing. The belt will start to squeak and it may be time then. Unless you rev the motor high it can go on like that for years. Also depends on how much you drive. Any action at the local trak and that will hurry along the need for replacement. It was an all day job...

You need to define "race". IMHO there is nothing wrong with taking a few passes down the old 1320 and getting some time slips. Doing it frequently with slicks or drag radials, and prowling the streets looking for stop light drag races is another thing.

They look pretty cool, and its nice to know if you got it at a BJ auction - the same paid shills that bid the prices up when you bought the the car will be there next year when you sell it.

I would guess there are lots of people here that are also members of the "other site" Its just a case of one site being known for somthing and one site being known for somthing else. Lots of the listings on the other site are from people that just joined so they can run a free add anyway.

I would be impressed just to see that thing actually run on the track. A 10 second pass no less..........

How well does it run?

Mobil 1 Synthetic Motor Oil is Factory Fill in 40 Plus Car Models I guess you heard wrong.

Yeah, but you have enough 10.Oh timeslips to burn for firewood all winter long.

Only 1. And it was in a 3900lb Pontiac.

Black satin paint (primer?) doesnt impress me. Lets see that 9 (8?) second time slip -

Scroll through the pictures on the link below.... 99 Corvette Mods and detail work pictures from cars photos on webshots

Sorry to the OP - going off on a tangent I just disagree. High performance engines will stay together longer put out more power and survive more time at the limits with synthetic oil than conventional oil. More so of today’s engines that put out more power while running at coolant temps...

So what exactly is your point? Is synthetic oil a scam? Hey, I have a black and white TV too, works fine.

Give me some time to dig up old images I have of engines we tore down for rebuilds that had over 100k miles, ran syn. oil from day one. The parts had so little wear, for example cams and lifters were so clean we had to be very carefull not to mix up the new and old parts. Thats just one...

The RPO MN6, ZF was introduced in1989. Was also the year the annoying CAGS was intoduced.
