1966 Corvette L72 Light Refresh

[napa68]

No project is ever really finished.....right?

I put on over 400 miles on the 66 this year. It's a wonderful driving car and I can just look at it for hours. But, I had mentioned I was chasing a vibration in the engine. It improved with the clutch installation / balancing but still was not right. I know someone was in the engine prior to my ownership. I do not want to run the risk of hurting the engine in any way. So in the name of doing things right, out it comes. I spoke with my engine builder early this week, and he can get on it right away.







I must admit the oil and filter look good, as do the plugs. In fact, they may be a bit on the lean side. That's easy to fix. Another plus it is not chewing any oil


The transmission is quiet and upshifts / downshifts just as it should. I am shipping it to the fellow who has been doing my T10's for me. He's going to take a look inside, check it over and check the shafts any twist, runout and reseal.


I'm going to pop the tin off the engine and see what I can see. Having the car apart like this will allow me to take another kick at the can for cleaning. Updates to follow
