Mikelly Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 So this afternoon I go out and start sorting the clutch hydraulics for this corvette out... I try and try and try everything, and spill some GS610 brake fluid all over the floor of the garage... At $40 per bottle. Nice and then I look over at the extra master cylinder I have on the shelf and figure I'll look at it and see if I can get an idea or two... The wife looks at me and says "Maybe it went bad when you spun it or broke the motor!" I roll my eyes , Chuckle to myself and say "Sure honey, maybe!" 20 minutes later, when nothing is working, STILL, I'm swapping the mastercylinder... I hate when she's right! So I get it bled, start the motor and start the "Burp" proceedure on the motor and I can NOT get the motor to reach 210 degrees... I try for 20 minutes... 3000RPMS for 30 seconds, then idle for 30 seconds... 20 minutes and I can get it to 195. Oh well. I shut it down and burp it... And notice a plug wire OFF on the 3rd plug back on the passenger side... Gee, and I was thinking it was running really well! So now it is button'ed up, coolant burped, and everything ready to go... I'll break it in tomorrow with 100 mile cruise, and then come home, dump the oil and put some Mobil1 in. This has been a crazy ride!

80LS1T Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 So what do you think fixed your no start problem? And Im pretty sure you've posted it but....what kind of numbers are you expecting from this new motor for HP/TQ? Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikelly Posted September 2, 2005 Author Share Posted September 2, 2005 The coil pack on the passenger side was "flipped". The 1998 valve covers don't require the coil pack bracket... So you unclip them and everything goes crazy! We're expecting 400WHP. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaparral2f Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 The wife looks at me and says "Maybe it went bad when you spun it or broke the motor!"

If the engine wouldn't start and my wife said I should let the air out of the spare tire, after 43 years of her totally uninformed suggestions, you'd find me draining the air out of the spare. i think its some kind of voodoo thing that wives pass from one generation to the next.
