    A robotics built race engine will never win a Daytona 500 or any NASCAR race ever. Every one has always been hand built by highly skilled and experienced craftsmen, still is and always will be. A machine cannot duplicate the scrutiny of a trained eye and 30 years of experience closely examining...

    Question: Spark plug change

    I thought the two toughest ones on my 96 were numbers 6 and 8 due to the limited room available beside the AC evaporator housing. In addition the plug wire boots can get stuck in place on the plug porcelains and you have to be careful about pulling on them. Gently twist to break the bond and...

    Are C4 prices still falling or rising yet?

    That is very cool! Do you do all your own work? It would make an interesting thread to learn of your car's maintenance and repair history on the way up to the 200K mark and owner experiences with other high mile cars.

    Are C4 prices still falling or rising yet?

    All original low mile garage queens are nice because they are accurate records of what GM put together and called a Corvette on that particular day in time. This gains more importance as the years pass by. Recently someone wrote in with a question on whether they should buy a 5K mile 85 that...

    Question- Underhood Labels on a 96

    Mine is missing one as well. Car is at another location at the moment but I think the build date on the door sticker is 4-96; serial number is 16676. I just assumed it fell off or was removed by a previous owner for whatever reason but maybe not. This is interesting, perhaps more 96 owners will...

    Question- Underhood Labels on a 96

    Hi Folks: Did the 96 originally have a Mobil 1 label or placard with the familiar logo affixed under the hood somewhere? Thanks, Greg

    Are C4 prices still falling or rising yet?

    Your's is well said also B17Crew! I can certainly agree with all of that. I remember a while back a friend dropped his red on red 64 roadster off for me to fix a miss in the engine. I found a rocker arm that had a pushrod sticking through it, replaced them and road tested it down to the corner...

    Are C4 prices still falling or rising yet?

    I don't think many of us seriously consider these cars as investments. Probably what most are interested in here is after doing all the things many of these cars always seem to need to restore and or maintain good condition and spending a ton of money it is nice to see the cars appreciate a...

    is 13k for a 1992 a good deal.

    With 30K miles it might be worth $13K but without knowing more it is impossible to say for sure. You will have to do a close inspection and evaluation of the entire car to determine what it needs now or will need soon and search out the previous owner and maintenance history to see what can be...

    Are C4 prices still falling or rising yet?

    This will not be important to everyone of course but if you have a nice low miles C4 and keep it original and nice and keep the miles reasonable it will appreciate. I say this because the C4 represent a very high level of performance for what I consider a bargain price. Some popular muscle cars...

    Are C4 prices still falling or rising yet?

    They made too many muscle cars to appreciate as well but they did anyway. I don't know that it is possible to make a blanket statement about C4 values because C4s run the gammut from rather common cars to some highly engineered (ZR-1), and specialized (Corvette Challenge), and low production...

    Are C4 prices still falling or rising yet?

    The case of the C4 is pretty interesting. The C4 is without question a very good Corvette and standard in 1992 you had 300 SAE horsepower under the hood again. Many C4's are now at entry level prices but some C4's are holding value well provided miles stay low and condition is maintained and...

    oil leak on 94

    Degrading of the intake manifold to block "china rail" silicone bead seal is a common source of LT-1/ LT-4 oil leaks and should be investigated in all oil leak situations but there are other reportedly common sources of leaks that should be checked also. Valve cover gaskets are always suspect...

    oil leak on 94

    Intake manifold oil leaks are a common complaint on LT-1 engines. The intake manifold ends seal to the block front and rear "china" rails with a bead of silicone sealant from the factory which degrades over time resulting in a leak. If left unattended to it can eventually coat the entire...

    Driver door panel won't stay hooked at top edge

    I don't know if this is the case with your door panels but it is common for the row of vertical strengthening ribs on the backside near the top to crack. This weakens the door panel and allows the top to ride up over the door frame and come off at the top. The cure is new door panels or an epoxy...
