G.M. would never have bothered installing it if under some circumstances it was not necessary and if you get the wrong inspector he could become a royal P.I.T.A., but Ive seen no advantage to having it and pass emmission testing just fine when we had to do that.

"So Grumpyvette, there is actually no purpose for the Air Pump to be there ?" IN theory exhaust EMISSIONS are lower but I saw zero change when removing it after testing both ways

It cleans up the engine compartment, removes a couple lbs,from the car, and gains you a couple hp less drag on the engine

every vette Ive driven including my 1996 that has ABS the light comes on briefly on starting the car

normal, depends on several factors, its state of tune, how you drive, type of oil, etc. but you want it to reach at least 215f on occasions to burn off moisture and anything under 240f is fine, even expected and normal, for short runs while you drive hard, most stock vettes have the oil temp of...

theres several potential reasons but the first thing Id do is pull the trouble codes, then replace the oil pressure sensor on the back of the block near the distrib, after making sure theres a good battery and the cars engine spins freely read thru this it will help isolate the problem...

if one failed the other ones near failing and since they are fairly cheap just swap out both, I think I paid $23 each for new ones last time that happened on my vette, its fast, cheap and you won,t have problems for years that way

OIL NORMALLY SHOULD run 15-20 degrees HOTTER than coolant, at least briefly durring any time the engines running , remember its the oil thats in dirrect contact with the hot moving parts like pistons and rockers, rings and valve springs,and oil NEEDS to reach a MINIMUM temp of 215F to burn off...

put in a pulley that replaces the air pump. less drag against the engines output,gain a few useable hp looks like this: They're $150 http://www.mamotorworks.com/corvette?frame=3.842 you can buy one and thats a valid option, but you can purchase the idleler pulley for about $20, or get one...

the hole sizes in the filter have little or any effect because the total cross sectional area is more than the oil pump to block passage, and filter to block cross sectional area in most cases http://minimopar.knizefamily.net/oilfilterstudy.html http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/...

OK THANKS!:D but I will point out I use the 1/2" size rated at 3300-3400 LBS and an engine rarely weights over 800 LBS BTW http://1st-chainsupply.com/hooks/swivelhoisthook.htm#swivel%20hoist%20hook%20dimensions

IVE HEARD THIS BEFORE... I have that same harbor freight leveler. I allows me to swap the complete engine and trans in by myself, but the hand crank is a bit of a pain. I wish I had with a nut on one end so I could use air tools to turn the crank. The hand crank can get hard to turn near...

BTW http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=41563 these are very similar to what I used on the engine crane

for many years Ive used an engine crane in the shop to pull engines, and it became very obvious that some mods to the system were darn near MANDATORY, adding an engine leveler and swivel to your engine crane makes things far easier adding a swivel like this between the leveler and crane...
