Interesting video. That preignition chamber is cool. I hope the engine proves reliable.

That's what Yoda should have said, but in the movie he actually says "is the future". Check out the YouTube clip called "[ESB] Seeing the future". ;)

For those in MB and SK, check out Marsollier Petroleum. Paid $250 all in for 24 bottles. That works out to $10.42 per bottle. The dealer wanted $28 a bottle. They have a website if you want to find the nearest dealer.

Just make sure you remove the screws holding the rotor on Honda's 😉

"Don't worry Sir, our engine Dyno always reads low. 200 HP is nothing to worry about! And don't forget to take your box of extra engine parts home. Thanks for coming and have a Great Day!"

Wonder what happens if the "engine builder kinda-sorta-ok-not-really" customer over torques a bolt? Toss it in the pile and start over? And what if the crescent wrench slips off and some knuckles get scraped?

It didn't help that the guy driving the z06 clearly was biased and did not want to be there. He didn't seem to know much about how to operate it.

I like the towel idea, might try that. Hope I remember to remove the towel afterwards lol. I would advise against blocking the engine vents permanently, they are there for a reason. Too much heat isn't going to make the engine perform any better...

Out of curiosity, is there any weight savings going to an AGM battery?

Leave them black...your C8 will stand out. Even a Kia can have red calipers these days.

I too will do my own filter when the time comes, likely the spring of 2027. However I will not get the filter from Amazon no matter what the price. Too many cheap knockoffs sold by crooks. Buy the filter from GM, you are saving a ton of money anyway doing the work yourself. Just my 2 cents...

I recommend the purchase of a decent battery charger (not maintainer). It's well worth the cost and they will often diagnose battery issues. Dead batteries are not always easy to bring back to usability and I would not rely on the car's charging system.

Stop worrying about what the neighbours think, and enjoy your ride whenever you can. People have lives to live, and noise is a sign of that. If you have complainers, too bad for them, start up a garage band and show them what real noise is lol.

I had the same issue at first, it was weird to have to focus on a screen. You do get used to it. I found that angling the mirror to the left cut down most of the glare.

Not so easy if you don't know what to look for. Keep in mind the engine would be running before the thief realizes something is wrong. Can't see them diving under the dash looking for wiring harnesses to unplug and replug while the owner is looking for the shotgun.
