I like the blue gauges as well!
I dig em. I originally did it because a couple of the stock bulbs were burnt out. I still need to do the HVAC gauges lighty thingy. Got lazy and didn't.Quote:

No leaks at the back of the intake(i think). I am 99% sure it is this seal since the oil is at the front of the engine. It likes to collect on the front sway bar.Quote:

Is it leaking from the from crank seal? One of my LT1's was leaking from there because there was a groove worn in the shaft of the hub that the crank pulley bolts to. I don't remember what they are called, but there is a thin metal sleeve that you can buy to fix it. You press it onto the shaft and then break off the part that was used to press it on, and it leaves you with a smooth surface on the shaft for the seal.
The corners of the timing cover are problem areas too, but you could check the shaft for a groove first without removing the cover.
I believe the timing cover seal was replaced when the rear main seal was done. The leak started this spring after I had the pump off. I'm fairly certain its the water pump drive seal.
If not well shit lol
If the crank hub shaft or water pump drive shaft are grooved, new seals won't fix the leak. Plenty of other things that it could be, but if you have it apart anyway, take a look at the shafts before you reassemble.
Yeah. I will. Doing it right this time
I have to do a new driver's side window motor soon.. ugh why couldn't i just have manual windows :(
Looked at my bill from my rear main seal replacement. They did the front crankshaft seal too. That is the seal behind the opti right?
I can sell you a nice set of manual window regulators!Quote:

I bought this car March 21, 2014. I would only see no lights on the dash when I would clear codes. Then the keylock cylinder got damaged in July 2014. From July of 2014 until today August 26, 2015, I dealt with the damn security light being on. I bypassed VATS today finally. No more security light. Now I just need to get the codes tuned out and no more lights on the dash.
Yes, I am overwhelmingly happy over something this stupid.
I'm eventually going to replace the keylock cylinder.
So how about I drop the engine out this winter and do a cam swap? I think I have enough room in my garage!
You should do it. It'll make two cammed Camaros at OU

Oh ya I know. I'd be pulling it from the bottom. :D there is enough room with the radiator out I know that. Maybe I'll do.a LE1 hehe. Well, if the budget allows lol
Wait a second, you go to OU? As in Oakland university?Quote:

Well hell, school starts Thursday! I'm there every day. So I better see it there soon
well uuuuuuuuuuuuuh. You know how when that seal goes bad, it leaks oil right? Well the oil level is fine...? I haven't noticed any real spots in the past month. I changed the oil after I installed my headers which was.. middle July. In a month, it hasn't dropped at all. I'm still going to replace the seal, just over the winter now unless it does start leaking.
I'm telling you all, this car is weird.
Looks like the trap door mod is in my future
So, the reason I stated the above is because I don't hear the pump prime at all. Did some research, and it could be just the relay. So I'm going to try and find one... 12193601 is the part number.
I think you need to ask popo to rename the title of your thread from Mini to Major lol hopefully it is just a relay if not post pics on the trap door setup
Lol I think someone is extremely jealoys!!
I think that it is probably just the relay. No problems starting the car. It fires right up with no problem, drives great too. It stopped making priming noises a couple months ago I think. I probably should do a fuel filter and replace the relay.
Oh and I almost named this thread: Money pit for a college kid. It does need a new title name. Well if you saw my video in bacon bites, you'd know I was only a little crazy.. maybe Crazy's Camaro!!
Lol far from jealous I own 2 of these damn lt1s and my dad has one so I've seen a lot of the issues all from misfires to no oil pressure and just about every oil leak you can think of oh and on that note your oil leak maybe coming from the intake manifold so look there just in case

I'll double check it. When I installed the egr block off plates, I didn't notice any wet spots.
Anybody wanna give me some money so I don't have to spend any? [emoji38]
Ordered a new fuel filter and pump relay. Grand total of $21. Thanks amazon :D
Doh, I also have to change the rear end fluid because the cover is leaking, slightly. I think I need to make a check list and put it in my bedroom.
I'll see what I can do. Gonna be switching to a true dual setup so hopefully I can get it out there before the winter weather sets in. I'm there Mon and Wed all day.Quote:

Another thing if you do your rear main seal get some sealer for gaskets and put it around the edge of the seal that's what I've done on all 3 of the Camaros we have just for a little extra security and on the back of the manifold also when I worked for a Honda dealership I used HondaBond and it works really good.
Rear main seal was replaced a month after I bought the car lol. It's been a money pit since I got in the driver's seat [emoji38]
well remember this as a rule of thumb, Fix one thing find 3 more problems lol
Oh ya I know what your saying. During my cooling mishap, I would replace one piece just to have another one go bad. I ended up replacing 95% of my cooling system. Did some cheap fixes and finally just did it right. Then again, a shop did fuq my car up. Been a year and I'm still mad at the place. Thankfully the car is running smooth-ish. I like working on this car surprisingly. Although somethings drive me insane. I never want to touch the cooling system again. I've become an expert at it ;)
Eh I got a weird ass problem right now. It's really hard to describe so I'm going to try my hardest. Might get confusing lol sorry
Car has been a little weird lately. It is like hiccuping, but with no loss of power
And only at a certain point and in first and second gear it looks like. It isn't the opti, this isn't a spark thing. I also don't believe it is fuel related. I honestly think I'm either a) a getting a weird wheel hop, b) rear end fluid low causing it to be weird, c) the throttle cable is sticking, or d) something else.
It started Tuesday. I then filled it up with gas. It was down 8 gallons. Didn't affect anything.
Here's where it will get weirder. It only happens in the 1-1.6k rpms and in 1st and 2nd gear, rarely 3rd. It doesn't do it when I slam on it though. It does it when going slow, like raising the rpms stupid slow in order to save gas. It doesn't happen in 4,5,6. Is wheel hop even possible when already moving?
I'm going to change the rear fluid this weekend if the weather permits and put the LCAs on and see if that helps.
Does it in all gears in the 1.5k rpm range. Seems to get better once the car is warmed up, but still occurs.
Update i guess. On my way home.from class, it did it maybe 5 times in a 15 minute spirited drive. It does it only in gear. Didn't do it free revving, so that rules out the Opti..

New fuel filter
Id hate to say this but it doesn't rule out the opti but it doesn't sound like your opti is going bad mine just went out last week but it was fine free revving but when I would drive it it would die and throw the low resolution code which points to the opti I even tried a different icm just to make sure but I would try the easier and less expensive stuff first like the fuel filter you may also want to try a different coil just as a precaution I still need to change mine

No opti codes are being thrown. It was also replaced in 07 by a dealer. It doesn't feel like the car is losing power. I crawled under it and took a look at the LCAs for shits and giggles. The bushings don't look 100%...
I pray and sacrifice a LS1 to the opti gods nightly, so I can't see them screwing me. Then again....
How high do I need to get my money pit in the air to pull the heart (engine) of the money pit
This should give you some idea of the height http://www.camaroz28.com/forums/lt1-...ctures-418445/
