I have a ls1 with a large cam that burns oil. I did a good job on the installation and checked everything so I think its just burning oil. It runs great. I put a pcv catchcan on it and that catches some oil. I forgot what i put in it last but it was definately a 10w30 or 10w40 mineal oil...

I installed a temperature sensor and I believe it is leaking. I did it in an fbody which has a convenient place for installation. The vettes have a stock oil temp sensor on the ls1's so i tapped the removable piece. The sensor asked for 1/8 npt threads. My friend drilled and tapped it, he did an...

I was doing a cam swap in my 02 trans am. I wanted to put new dex-cool and distilled water to keep the cooling system optimal. I accidentally used the same funnel that i used to pour in oil. It was dry but the dexcool took some oil with it, I can see the oil floating effect when i look down my...

I have an 02 trans am with 40k miles. It has the stock coolant in it (dexcool). I hate buying coolant because it is expensive and i always end up doing something after on my cars that requires me to dump a bunch out and buy more. My car is gonna be stored the entire winter in my garage. I am...

Well my Z/28 ended up in a ditch a year ago. I bent the lca (could def tell it was bent). I replaced that and went to take it for an alignment. The first place told me they had trouble and to take it to sears. They said i might need to change the steering knuckle. Sears said they ran out of...

My Trans AM, 02 LS1 has 40k miles and I want to change all the fluids in it so that I am up to date on fluids. The previous owners seemed to be doing a great job on maintainance but I would like to change everything for my own peace of mind. I don't want to spend insane amounts for stuff like...

I painted a few panels on my car and i didnt realize that when masking, overspray would get througha blanket onto my hood. A ton of overspray got on my hood and windshield. I was able to clean up the windshield with steel wool. I am having a problem with the hood however. I tried clay but there...

I need to change my rear end fluid. I was wondering if the rear end additive at autozone/murrays is the same as this stuff: http://shbox.com/1/lsa.jpg I used the gm stuff last time but it was like 10$ for a little bottle. I was wondering if i could use the stuff at autozone and just fill the...

I did a hardtop to ttop conversion on my camaro. It all went good and is now weatherproof so I want to finish up all the asthetics. First off, I had to use black silicon glue/sealant to glue on some trim to my windshield. I put in a bunch to make sure it had enough for an ample seal. It said to...

I was looking at some of my old waxes i had in the garage and a few of them said they were cleaner waxes. I was wondering what exactly does this mean? Does it mean that it cleans oxidation or just the car overall? Like if you use a cleaner wax, do you have to wash the car or can you just...
