    GTS Dipstick: need Distance from FULL mark to top of dipstick tube

    I just looked closely and mine does not have the bead at the top of the tube. It was smooth before brazing on the threads. There was a PN stamp, but only on the inboard side of the tab - the outboard side is unmarked in any way. My pocket tape measure fit in the tight confines, but was too...

    GTS Dipstick: need Distance from FULL mark to top of dipstick tube

    You have a dipstick in the engine. If it is long enough for both marks and another 1.5+ inches, just call it good. Mark yours to match my 96 couple's and just pour in 8 qt of fresh oil. It should be very close to the ADD mark. Pour another qt in and see if it is half way. Use the last quart to...

    GTS Dipstick: need Distance from FULL mark to top of dipstick tube

    Tom, the tube and bracket you have are correct for your '96 GTS. If you pull the stick, the tube should stick past the tab by about 3/4". If that checks out, then all you need to do is measure down 20-1/8 from the top of your cup and scribe a "MAX" mark on the smooth side of your dipstick...

    GTS Dipstick: need Distance from FULL mark to top of dipstick tube

    Here are photos of both 96 and 98 dipsticks, along with their tube attachments at the valve covers. Dipstick lengths measured from T-handle stop - '96 PN4763791 AB: 22-5/8 '98 PN 4763791 AC: 20-13/16 T-stop to upper oil level mark - '96: 20-1/16 '98: 18-3/8 These measurements are accurate to...

    Trackday Brake Questions

    This is a handy chart. A track Viper likes a 295-315 front tire a lot. If you don't have ABS, then you are likely going to flat spot your 275 fronts with an 80 compound on 14" rotors. Judging from the torque rise, you'll have to be very careful to avoid that. I just don't know what kind of...

    92 model

    As '92s go, that's quite high mileage. It should help considerably with pricing.

    Big jugs of Mobil1 15W-50 at Wal-Mart

    Thanks for that. I'll keep right on doing what I'm doing. I had my engine honed, re-rung and installed new valves in 2020 at 36k because I stupidly left a paper drip towel in the oil entry galley while installing new timing cover gasket and doing a full chassis detail. I forgot about it and the...

    Thoughts on this Gen II GTS

    At COTA in June, I pulled up to the grid 5 times for runs. Two times, the grid lady came over, leaned in and said 'this is the most gorgeous color blue. It is just fabulous in the sunlight!' In the paddock, a guy driving a pearl white Ferrari 812 pitted a few spaces over walked over while I was...

    Big jugs of Mobil1 15W-50 at Wal-Mart

    If your car is hitting 110 psi, then there's an oil pump relief spring problem. The way people throw away hardly used premium synthetic motor oil and obsess over filters just floors me. To each his own.

    Trackday Brake Questions

    Ideally, you want to bed your discs with the pad you plan to use. I do not run race pads/rotors on the street unless it's just to the convenience store between track days. They wear better at optimum temps for the rotor/pad and that takes experimentation. The only time I run street pads/rotors...

    I usually run either NAPA Gold, or WIX filters. I sample at every change, or once a year, whichever comes first.

    Big jugs of Mobil1 15W-50 at Wal-Mart

    I was walking the lubes aisle this evening and found 5-qt jugs for the first time in 2+ years! Just under $28 per jug and quite a bit less than quarts. 0W40 was priced the same.

    Looking to purchase

    I think much of the improved ride in the later cars owes to a longer wheelbase. I recall it's around 4 inches.

    GTS parts manuals pdf

    My dealer gave me a 3-ring hardcopy of the Gen 1 parts book when they went to microfische/computer in the mid-90's. It shows two different tube numbers and two different "Indicator" (stick) numbers for the '96 year based on body style: 27 (convertible) or 29 (coupe). It looks like the tube...

    Gen 2 Window Regulator Clip Shuttle Replacement: are there good ones?

    It makes me wonder if you have either bad track alignment, or dry/gummy tracks that are stressing the slides.

    Drain your pan for 15 min. Pour 8 quarts in and wait 5 min. Pull the stick and scribe / center punch the oil level. Pour 2 more in, wait another 5 minutes and scribe the oil level. Go for a drive, then check it again and report back. You can continue your search while having confidence in the...

    Tom to the best of my knowledge, the 96R/T has a Gen 1 engine with a Gen 2 ECU. It has a 10 quart pan, a steel pump pickup tube with a unique oil filter adapter. The 96 GTS has an all-new block casting, a reduced volume (7.5-8qt) pan with integral pickup tube that feeds a new front cover/oil...

    Is there a fix for pushing oil with hard driving?

    For 90-95% of owners, this is a non-problem. But for the rest of us who use these cars much harder, then venting the valve covers is the ONLY sure way to cure this issue. For dual purpose street/track cars, the intake (makeup air, clean side) should breathe filtered air from the airbox like the...
