Hi, I bought a AHP pkg 4 head package and had Ron at Auto Benny do the installation, as I knew no one in the Corvette or LS world at the time...and had confidence in him since he'd done work for me in the past. Then, I returned the cores for credit. His work was exemplary. I do track the car as...

i'm so wary of some of these...sometimes stuff is tempting, but i just wish i had some way of validating legitimacy

yep…it says to reapply the Teflon sealant.

Google may be, but experience tells me that’s ‘fake news’ ;) once the sealant wears off, that’s it. They suck air back in around the threads. You must keep reapplying Teflon sealant. No biggie, but that’s fact

Until the Teflon sealer wears off the threads. Then they suck air back in. Gotta keep re-applying it to ensure air doesn’t leak past. Been dere, done dat! ;-)

these work ok, till the thread sealer wears off. Then they suck air back in. Gotta keep re-applying the Teflon sealer. Been dere, done dat ;)

I replaced my Hi-beams and fogs with high output LEDS. They Looked great and were very bright, great for flash-to pass, BUT simply do not illuminate the road at all. The OE reflectors are clearly not designed for LED bulbs. The fogs, were even worse than the pitiful OEs. I did however retain the...

you can order a build sheet and window sticker here if you like. Its a few bucks, but it kinda makes the ownership experience a bit more special and willcertainly be worth it if/when you ever sell Build Sheets & Window Stickers – National Corvette Museum

I'd change ALL the other fluids as well as the 12yr old tires. I also had the heads 'fixed' on mine (bought at 10,000km 2 yrs ago) as a precaution. You can also order plastified copies of the original Build Sheet and Window Sticker from the National Corvette Museum. Re trim, see below: Select...

sounds like an incredible deal if it was well maintained and such. Even better if its a 2LZ or 3LZ. Congrats

Hi, no...you have to undo the inner fender liner and the bolts at the bottom of the fender. It can be flexed out of the way. the only issue is, if you’re using a lift or quick jack, that covers the small bolts at the bottom of the fender, so you need to support the car at the crossmember...

well, i kinda like my OEM 18/19" Speedlines in chrome, but was actually considering a set of Cup wheels in 19/20...for street. But, I really like the look of the original wheels after all, with a thin 6mm spacer under them. Tires are OE sized Firestone Indy 500 For track use however, I picked...

interesting...around Montreal, I find that C7s rarely wave...only Z06, but none of the handful of C8s waved. In fact one pulled up at a light beside me yesterday and stared straight ahead. And this, compared to C6 and earlier vintages actually making a U-Turn to say hi. Heck,even a Mustang GT350...
