Re: Simple, fast way to clean bolt threads
I know! Right? I can't wait for my next encounter with a crusty bolt.

Re: 1990 Corvette Z51
installed new fuel pump, fuel sending unit, and fuel filter. The good news is, the car starts and runs. The bad news is I'm not seeing anything on my gas gauge. When Fred visited Raleigh last June, we worked on a blown piece of hose coming off the fuel pump. When we pulled out the fuel sending unit...

Re: 1996 Collector Edition Corvette
The oil analysis report mentioned that the viscosity of the oil was slightly low. I called Blackstone and asked about it. They were very eager to answer all questions and said that it may be some fuel in the oil. Looking back at the history of the oil I submitted, I saw that it was during the time w...

I received the results of the oil analysis today. Nothing shows up out of the ordinary. Pretty good news.

Re: 1996 Collector Edition Corvette
ODO: 105754 We had a 67° day today so I went out to the garage with the intent of finding an oil leak. I didn't find an oil leak, but I did find an antifreeze leak in the same area where I thought the oil leak was originating. One of the heater hoses needed the clamp tightened a bit more. Now, I won...

Re: 1996 Collector Edition Corvette
ODO: 105,742 On the first of January, I proudly proclaimed "No oil leaks on the garage floor. I love a car with no oil leaks." Once I got her up on the jack stands and looked underneath, I saw the opposite. Oil covered the oil pan from front to back, but none had reached the floor. So when...

Re: 1987 Corvette Z52
Today, I stumbled upon this video of track mods for the C4. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9PB3m6-Vd0
Maybe it will give you some ideas if you haven't seen it yet.

Hey BP, I have Hagerty's for my TBSS and the Corvette. Including the optional "Driver's Club" (for towing), my cost for the upcoming year was $600. But, don't be surprised when you lose your multicar discount from State Farm and your bill for your remaining cars goes up.

It's likely my age, but I like as much light on the road as I can get.

Re: 1987 Corvette Z52
Speaking of headlights, I watched this YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLW8t4ilzgU
I now have the two components on order from Amazon. About $70.
I'm looking forward to some much improved nighttime driving.

Re: 1996 Collector Edition Corvette
The Blackstone oil analysis lab forced me to do it. They wanted to know how many miles were on the oil sample I submitted. My notes on TireSmoke were not complete enough for me to tell. The answer was somewhere between 750 and 2000. I will try to do better in the future. ODO: 105,673 oil change plus...

Re: 1996 Collector Edition Corvette
Up until now, I haven't been very fastidious about logging the work I've done on Silvia. Today I changed my evil ways. I downloaded a sample maintenance log from the web and modified it for my use. I read through the entire Tiresmoke thread of my Corvette and pulled all the major things I had done a...
