    Oil pressure problems

    Yes it drops to zero or very very low-- as somone else posted this can be checked with the front cover still on from underneith- You must remove the oil filter adapter bracket thing- then the releif valves are under 2 little circular metal caps. Youll have to tap holes in the caps to remove...

    If your doing a timing cover gasket>>(semi write up)

    if your water pump gastet or timing cover gasket gos out- 1) remove the hood for the job- there is no alignment- just 4 bolts- 2) put new oil in when you refill the oil- you should drain it anyways when losening the oil pan bolts- its cheap insurance to *** new oil in..especially if you...

    Chuck Tator National Celebrity !!

    You think its bad now- wait until the democrats let the Bush tax cuts expire(ie RAISE TAXES). Millions of small to medium size bussinesses that gross over 250k a year will cut at least 25% of their workforce to just attempt to stay in bussiness. Add to that the huge increases in mandatory...

    Thanks Chuck Tator! Awesome service>

    I recently called Chuck Tator for his advice on my Viper- I had not been a customer before and he spent quite a bit of time giving me free and valuable information and advice. He then gave me a couple spare parts I needed that he happened to have at his shop. I went ahead and placed an order...

    Oil pickup question>

    I think I found the problem- The bottom most valve is stuck open. The top one moved freely all the way in with little effort when I removed the spring. The bottom valve was stuck in the open position, and I couldnt remove it- I tapped it all the way in with a screwdriver and hammer, and it...

    selling my '99 gts for $29k

    No problem dude- Ive bought and sold A LOT of cars over the years and I can tell you this- When you get an offer over 90% of your asking price- its not a lowball offer- and no offense should be intended. Back to this car- It probably is worth 29k, the problem is no one wants to "guess" that...
