There are a few ways to do this, but I always disconnect the positive post on the battery for 30 seconds or so. AutoZone can clear them for no charge by plugging into your car's link. You can also remove certain fuses to do the same thing. On my 96, which is OBDII (so it may not be the same...

Here's another thought: With the valve in the fully closed position, you should have about .060" clearance between the UNDERSIDE of the rocker arm and the valve retainer. You can take a paperclip (measure it's thickness to see if it's at or very near to .060" thick) and use it to stick under...

So, you're saying that changing the lifters on #8 cured the heay oil flow and that things returned to normal for a while but NOW the tapping noise has returned, right? If so, three things: First, post the detailed step by step method you used to establish the lifter preload. I mean DETAILED...

No, a change in pushrod length won't be necessary. Going with different ratio rocker arms, if that's all that's changed, doesn't effect the pushrod length. However, your valve springs become an area of concern. Going from 1.5 RRs (which in actuality would probably be in the 1.4x area) to 1.6...

So what's the latest? Jake

If you have an adjustable TPS it's set with the ENGINE OFF but ignition ON. To set the minimum idle speed on a L98, first fire the engine and allow it to idle until it warms up and enters CLOSED LOOP. Wait about five minutes. Shut down the engine and disconnect the IAC. Refire the engine...

I have a 96 too. So does my son; I keep his while he's away at West Point. As far as "over heating" it would be best for you to post specific numbers and whether those readings are from the analog or digital gauge. What is is, specifically, that makes you think the engine is over-heating...

"BEST" is a real toughie to answer because it depends on what your intentions are. KYBs are excellent for street use and, in fact, I installed a set on the 86 I once owned and loved them. However, they wouldn't be the BEST choice for a guy who likes to hang it our on a road course. So, like...

No it isn't. More than half a day, give or take. Jake

I've seen them for sale on the Corvette Forum - forums.corvetteforum.com on the C4 Parts For Sale board. Hope this helps. Jake

I pulled the bulb on my 96 when one of the sensors failed. After looking at the cost of replacing it, I opted for the cheapest way out. Jake

If you're looking for ABSOLUTE Top Dead Center there's no "easy" way I know of. Without having to dive into the engine, per se, you can use the positive stop method and a degree wheel/pointer arrangement. It's not really "difficult" but can be a little time consuming. You'll need to remove...

Yes, my son's 96 does that. Motor runs even with just the parking lights on. He needs bushings too. Jake

Just an update; wheels are sold and shipped. Here's a pic of the new ones. Jake

You mean between cylinders 1 and 3, right? Jake

There's a STICKY on the Corvette Forum (forums.corvetteforum.com) in the C4/Performance section that has the step by step and pictures some of the guys followed and, also, some links to other sites with additional info. Hope this helps. Jake

I have a potential buyer; just waiting for the payment. Jake

Not a problem; I've walked that road before. I've gotten several offers from guys asking me to split the wheels, but I'm reluctant to do that. It would leave me with only a pair which could prove hard to sell. Jake

I'm amazed that no one on this forum has offered to buy these wheels yet. Just as well, I guess. One of the new wheels arrived with a small chip on one wheel, so I sent it back to the company. I'm awaiting a replacement which should arrive next week. One the new wheel arrives the stock...
