I've had multiple cars in my life that leaked a little, and when I switched to high mileage oil, the leak went away. Whatever crap they put in that to swell the seals does the trick. Cheap experiment...

It's not real thick there, but welding over it should be easy on a lower setting. You're not welding a frame together, just plugging a tiny hole. A little spot weld would just about do it. And it's in an inconspicuous place so it doesn't even need to be pretty. No problemo.

I have a Corvette motor to pull so I'm planning to work on that on Saturday.

I'd like to go, but I'll likely be working on getting the motor out of the Vette. Hope the weather is good!

So we were unsuccessful in our mission to remove the pan in the car yesterday. The new motor mounts don't have enough give to be able to lift the motor up without removing the bolts from them.

Long story short, I didn't quite finish my first 20 minute session as I lost oil pressure coming out of the carousel and the car began running a little bit rough.

I was leaning towards and HMF full system and really liked the way they looked and sounded, and once I found out they're ...

The Z52 package comes with two electric fans. The main fan on the motor side of the radiator that pulls the air through and a secondary fan on the front side of the radiator (see picture from when I was doing the trans cooler). The main fan is supposed to turn on at 225 degrees and the secondary fan...

I like the taller front tire. And a good driving tread pattern too.
