At least he responded with something related to the topic...even if his signature isn't (wasn't) appropriate.

I would recommend calling the place that supplied/manufactured your engine block for the seal part#, and torque specs.

As for a pan, why not try an aftermarket type with improved oil and windage handling? Depends on your budget and oil
system you intend to use.

Not too sure about Gaterman, but for your needs and RPM limit you should have no issues finding a lifter to handle the work.

What sort of problems are you seeing now?

Indeed. I say we start up a business and sell cryo'd ingition systems complete. I want 51% of the rights, deal?

Theory:

Cryo'd plug > more efficient voltage transfer across the gap > less energy used to produce spark > less load on alternator > less power used by engine.

There, mystery solved!

Thank you everyone. We knew it would be an issue for resale, but not 100% unanimous. This poll is just icing on the cake to walk away! Too bad because
the house it beautiful, and if you navigate around Google you will see that the neighbourhood is immaculate.

Movin' onto the next prospect...

Speedtalk friends, I need your input. Assume this house is within your budget and everything you need. This is a three-part, yes/no answer. YOu may elaborate if you wish WOuld you buy it? <<insert house perfect house here. Image is not important.>> http://www.bradfitzpatrick.com/stock_illustration/i...

People have modified the seat rails to increase headroom, and/or found lower profile seats. Don't let that stop you! If you're good with fiberglass and welding, the roof can be extended a couple of inches too. That's way out of my league, however there are some builders chopping the cage to install ...

Yes, the values you quote are about right (depending on options). With an LS7 powering the car (or similar power), Factory Five Claims 0-60 in seconds; 11 sec quarter; and top speeds near 200 MPH. Here's the pres. of the company giving a tour of the facilty and car: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_t...

Has to be LS series (to fit motor mounts and transaxle); thinking more along LS6 or a very healthy LS1 to start with.

You live in Quebec, CAN.?

It's a Factory Five kit called the GTM. I've got the frame, but no motor/transaxle!

Yep, another money pit, when will I ever learn? The Camaro is gone after a few years of blood, sweat and tears...actaully no tears surprisingly. Now I'm getting into something I've always wanted and dreamed of doing: building, or restoring a car from frame up! The wiring, engine, suspension work, et...

If it prints money, I'll take two please!
