    Help! Bottom End Knocking, only @ idle, only after car warms up.

    Hib, I thought valve train at first too, but the strange rhythm changed my mind. Has the same rhythm as the dual mass click. Pulsing with the idle. I really think he has a very bad flywheel. Another thing the noise goes away the instant the engine eccelerates that is not time for oil pressure...

    What year corvette do you enjoy the most?

    The C2 for it's class the C4 for it's futuristic look and the technology. The C5 and C6 really don't do much for me in the eye appeal area. Would be real hard to chose between equal C2 and C4 but I think the 4 would win. Glenn

    A/C problems

    I am no expert but your problem makes me think it doesn't have the proper charge. The 134 A is very particular on the amount of charge. When it was converted was the orifice changed. A self adjusting or a Ford orifice makes the conversion work much better. Glenn

    Replace clutch bypass switch or get rid of.

    as generic as GM likes to be I can't believe some other switch doesn't fit. Take the switch out, google every number on it. Bet something comes up. Glenn

    Help! Bottom End Knocking, only @ idle, only after car warms up.

    Push in the clutch pedal and see if it changes . Put it in gear and slowly release the pedal and see what the sound does. You said you surfaced the flywheel. If it is OEM it has the dual mass flywheel. You may have a flywheel about to come apart. ZF doc told me the early flywheels had no cover...

    Cam Bearing

    Were top and bottom caps worn the same? You didn't have alternating top and bottom wear from one main to the next? Be checking line bore. One other thing, were you using an AC Delco oil filter. The new filters now have plastic cage on the inside. A friend of mine with a sprint car had some oil...

    1990 Corvette

    YEP YEP YEP . The tac in my 90 just gives you and idea of what the engine is doing. Sort of a base from what it was before. :chuckle Mine reads a percentage high. I have read how it can be fixed but not sure it is worth the effort because I seldom use the tac for shift points. I have a feel...

    Update: Heavy Rain, Won't Start?

    It runs ok if you drive through large water puddles ?? Does it start after you drive through lots of water ? If so the water has to be getting into something from the top. On a nice warm sunny day you might want to get the hose out and run water on select spots on the cowl, starting towards the...

    Question: catalic converter on a 1990 corvette

    My front cats are in tact, the main cat has a front and back half. When I was installing my clutch I noticed the back half was lose in the case and rattled so I removed it. Just doing that increased exhaust noise. Glenn

    Help! "TURN OFF LIGHTS" warning chime torture.

    After thinking about it, it could be either. I suspect the wiring is close to the 90 , I may be able to find some time to look it up. Glenn

    Question: catalic converter on a 1990 corvette

    Any time I have gutted a cat , usually because it was suspect, it has been like putting an amplifier on the exhaust system. Glenn

    Question: Oil pan with piece of skirt piston WTF

    Looks like what I remember from over revving on a cold engine.Depending on how long you have had the car it may have happened before you owned it. You are lucky you decided to change the pan gasket. With the number of pieces I would say you were close to putting a rod through the block,now even...
