I really can't smell antifreeze in the exhaust, and it doesnt smoke/steam anymore than the other cars over here in the cold weather, I replaced the thermostat recently and the heads and cam were installed after p&p in June 07. After the intalation I had oil in the radiator for a while. not...

I have a highly modified LT1, 1993 stroker, 383ci, redline 5w40 I drive this everyday, I did do a pressure check at a dealer 2 weeks ago because my antfreeze is misteriously dissapeering. Hense my concern, too manythings are pointing to a leak. But it checked out ok. I have the oil analysis kit...

OK, I have a concern and want to know if this is normal, I have a creap color sludge collecting on the inside of my valve covers and no where else, and it freezes...so water, I cant tell if it is condensation or antifreeze. How do I tell, it is very cold here at the moment so maybe condensation...

Who is he friendly neighborhood redline guy? If there isn't one do we like a web dealer or something? Just looking to order some before I get home.

I may be alittle of on the part number, I was thinking about it and it may be a PH1 or PH4 Or HP4, I cant really remember now, but sounds like I should go with either the purilator or napa gold either way.

I have been using a fram (sorry) HP1 filter on my 383 LT1. The more I read (go figure) the more I see I have been living in a fog of missconceptions sp?. Any suggestions, I'll be changing to 5w40 redline from 15w50 royal purple...help I R Pilot, Not oil filter expert...

I'm going to change from 20w50 to 5w40, in addition the oil will be a year old after coming out of storage, should I use an engine oil flush? If so what kind do "we" like and for that matter when should you do an engine flush if at all?

Wow, I go flying for 1 day, I'm posting here more, it's making the time go by faster...Any way, my oil psi rises to about 70 at rpm, anything above idle I'd say, and hovers mid range at idle and lower rpms, my gauge is a stock z28 gauge so I believe without looking at it right now my gauge...

how would I be able to tell if the oil im using is correct, or best just by oil temp, water temp and pressure, if there is even a way

well I cant really talk to him, we had a fallingout, a year ago or so, but if oil pressure is any indication my oil psi si 40-50 at 1200 idle, even when warmed up...

ok, I'm sure I could do a search and get this but what is the biggest difference between a 15 or 20w40 and 5w40, the first number in the viscosity is something I have obviously been missunderstanding and for start up is a lower number better ie 5w40 and how does that effect protection at high...

Well, this is my daily driver, I use it mostly in stop and go and some highway on the weekdays, I use it at the occasional drag strip once a month maybe and trips down to Austin where the traffic after a 70-90 mph run down there is horrible, Im having some cooling issues in the heat and traffic...
