Hey everyone, this is not necessarily a Vette question but does anyone know of a darkening product that will darken factory silver paint? I had magnetic signs on my Sienna which is silver and now the paint where the signs were is lighter :confused weird huh??

Thanks for sharing your memories Fatsky

Well, we're back to work on my 92, replacing water pump,opti,timing cover gasket etc, and I wanted to know if we need to loosen the exhaust to remove the oil pan? the fsm says it needs to be loosened but it doesn't seem to be in the way?

We removed the balancer on my 92 without jacking the engine, we just banged on it with a block of wood and mallet, just hammer all around the balancer lightly a little at a time and it will pop off,
