Default Re: WMD - Hotdogs, Apple Pie & Chevrotet - July 4th

Happy Birthday America! Give thanks to the brave men and women that sacrifice to keep us free!

4th of July in WAZOO-land was rainy and dreary, but that didn't stop seven hard-core ZR-1 enthusiasts from getting together to work on our cars.

Here is the group, left to right: Lois & Bob, Kevin, Jim, Yun, Charlie with his old radiator, Scott, Ed




Bob's 1993 Ruby shining in the rain:




Yun is pulling his injector housings to eliminate a minor coolant leak:




Kevin, Jim and Charlie are disconnecting coolant hoses:




We replaced the radiator and coolant hoses in Charlie's 1992 ZR-1. The new radiator was a DeWitts and the coolant hoses and clamps came from Jerry's Gaskets. I hope Charlie will post some installation photos. The take-out radiator was well clogged with >70,000 mile of debris, including leaves, grass, and the grit that lodges in the fins.

On Yun's 1994, 385cid LT5, he used a florescent dye in the coolant and a black light to locate the slight injector housing gasket seepage into the intake runners that was causing coolant loss.
