It may have possibly been the original owner(s). I got the car around 18k miles and have been changing the oil roughly every 5-6k miles or so. Not that the kind of motor oil I use could possibly...

I was initially thinking the same, given that there are rubber valve cover gaskets… Which threaded hole on the engine head or block, do you think is accessible? I’ve seen a few, but have had to...

Adding grounding cables did the trick…maybe?

You can read like a few posts above this reply, to see what ended up being the culprit(s). However, my new starter is working just fine, although it sounds a lot different and I should’ve debated...

Preventative maintenance, I guess

Yeah, you’re absolutely right. Mine was a garage kept collectible, at least up the most recent owner got/drove it, and until like a year or two ago before I got ahold of it. Most of my car’s been...

Car only has 35k miles and is super clean. Battery is 5 y/o but had good voltage with car off, on, under load, etc. I don’t have a multimeter to check the starter, but I’m also assuming that the...

Initial confusion about engine valley cover

Well, damn, I guess I missed my research, bc I kept thinking that those were either for DOD/AFM equipped GM V8 engines only (or L99). I’m guessing this valley cover is the LS3 specific one, since the...

Engine oil cooler, but no trans cooler… yet?

I have a 200 F Improved Racing LS engine oil feed thermostat, which I paired to a 25-row cooler; which all mounts the same way the Mishimoto oil cooler kit for the 5th gen SS’ does. I had to get a...

I forget how the PCV is routed in the RS (V6) models. Are they set up differently for the LLT (10-11) and LFX (12-15) RS models? I also believe the AT and MT both have PCV systems equipped in them.
