Interesting video! Learned something new today. Thanks!
@AWDCorvetteERay just another day in the classroom. haha Thanks for stopping by.
Hey! Figured I'd come back and let you know that my intake manifold gaskets replacement went well! The car idles better, and the oil leak is gone, and in the process, I found a few hoses and lines that needed replacing, and the car is running better than it ever has!
Thank you for your videos, and thanks for taking the time to walk through the steps. Can't fully express how grateful I am for your work.
I owe you big time.
That's great news Mario! Glad it was a success. Happy New Year -Glen
Another good Ozzstar production! Definately the GO TO guy for automotive questions and how to.
You mean go to to cure insomnia? haha Thanks for your support man!
Thanks for your videos! Ever since I got my 95 vette, I've been watching your videos, and I'm no car guy, but I feel like after taking notes and rewatching, I'm ready to take on some of these projects!
You can do it Mario! Take your time and patience with the right tools.
Metoo. Thanks
Greetings, Glen, from sunny NorCal where it will be 71° and mild today! I miss my C4!
That sounds nice!
Hi! My name is James and I to try and check out the UA-cam video with things that I have done on cars, and trucks. But everything that work on is a little different, so it is always a good idea to check out the UA-cam video on the thing you are working on, and that way you know somewhat to expect on your job. Thank you for making the UA-cam video for all of us to watch, learn by too! Thank you very much! Sincerely James E. Hudspeth
I appreciate you stopping by James and thanks for the comment! -Glen
Exactly what I need to do on my '94 C4! I'll refer to your step by step Part 1 & 2 videos. Thanks 👍🏼
Now you know. Good luck and let us know how it goes! -Glen
@@ozzstars_cars Will do!
Nice video - I was about to do this, had a bad leak in the back and couldn't tell if it was the rear main seal or the rear china wall, both pretty big jobs. I kept cleaning and looking for the leak and finally noticed it was the oil filter adapter. Whew, easy job and $2 o ring fixed it. Subscribed!
Everybody likes an easy fix. Thanks John for subscribing!
What o ring was it that fit the oil filter adapter ? Mine is leaking from the filter adapter that goes into the block in the rear. New intake manifold and gaskets so it can’t be that.
@@almightytwisted935 I didn’t look up the part number just compared the old flattened one with the new ones in my oring kit for something similar but not crushed. Good luck with your repair!
@@johnpanek5203 how did you manage to use a O ring if the oil pressure sender adapter doesn’t require one ?
Good old chaos who visited me a couple of times! Great tips in fixing those annoying oil leaks, and Glenn you're dedicated to work in those cold temperatures. Have a good one and stay warm!
Thanks for stopping by Terry. I was telling an electrical instructor the other day how you designed and had those circuit boards made for the pressure transducer. 👍
@@ozzstars_cars I would have dropped in earlier, but I didn’t get any notification. I still have some boards left over if you like for me to send you a couple. Have a good one Glenn!
@@stuzman52 no problem and thanks for the offer. I'll let you know if I ever get the time.
Wow is all I can say. You sir are a master. I own that same year car, but mine is a manual coupe. Anyway, I am getting a little oil too, and now that I know I will look for the source of the oil. I especially like the care you take as you disassemble and assemble parts. That is the mark of a master. Just FYI, because of what you showed, you can count me as a new subscriber. I just wish you had even more C4 videos. You are teaching some stuff that is rapidly getting lost to history.
Thanks for subscribing and I do have several C4 videos right here on good ol' UA-cam!
Good one Glen !! It was -20 degrees C up here in Toronto the last few days, I hope you have a heater 😊
That's like -90⁰ f or something??? Brrrr
Nice work Glen, looking good with no leaks. That Right Stuff is pretty good . Like you say don't over do it.
A little goes a long way.
Right Stuff for the win! Awesome video!
Go right and you can't go wrong.
No se si entiendas español,pero tienes un subscritor más ,Grasias por compartir tus conocimientos
Gracias amigo.
Greetings from Middletown, DE. Snows gone now,, Like the videos👍
Representing! Let's hope Rt. 299 construction is finished in the next two years. What a mess! @baddriversofmiddletown Facebook.
@@ozzstars_cars yeah it's a nightmare, I just take marl pit road and go around.
Great video always enjoy watching your work. I’ve met you a couple times at some of the local Delaware car shows. I had a 88 convertible Corvette, and now I have a 1993/ 40th anniversary.
Thanks for the channel support Greg! I certainly am looking forward to getting out to more car shows this year. How do you like the '93 compared to the '88? Enjoy your new toy the LT1 is a nice upgrade.
That Right Stuff is awesome. Can't remember if I told you my Right Stuff story. I had sealed up the plenum on my '86 Grand Marquis with that stuff since I didn't have a gasket ... then I got busy and the car sat for a week while I did other jobs. When I finally fired it up, it was racing. I knew exactly what I did - forgot to install some critical vacuum lines underneath! Only way to hook these particular ones up was to remove the plenum again. Naturally! So I undo the bolts, and start pulling. I must've forgot another bolt because this thing wasn't budging 1mm! After 10 minutes of yanking the hell out of this thing, I went and got my cherry picker, wrapped the chain around the throttle body end, and started pumping the jack. I sh!t you not, it lifted the front wheels of that heavy Grand Marquis 6" off the ground before it finally broke free!! I was sold on that stuff after that! STRONG!! I only put a real thin coating - might have had 1/16" of a bead squished out the sides. Impressive!
I'll tell ya, I sure miss the days of GM engines where you could replace the lifters WITHOUT removing the heads! I hate the LS engine from a mechanic's standpoint. Great engine as far as making big power goes for cheap, but the engineering on that one SUCKS!! Anyway, thanks for sharing, and stay warm! We just got 6" of that white crap last night. I'm about done with this! 4 more weeks, I keep telling myself. FOUR MORE WEEKS, and the weather will start to change for the better. :)
$15 for a few ounces it should be 💪 Probably cost $1 to make. I dread the day when I have to remove anything put together with that stuff. It's the opposite of the orange or blue goo that so many hacks love. haha You can keep the snow. The only time I enjoy it anymore is when I make snow angels in the yard while I'm nude.
@@ozzstars_cars Yeah that stuff is pricey, no doubt about it. HAHAHAHA! You're a better man than I - no way my bare skin is touching that white crap! 😆
You look like you do very precise work.
I have been known to have attention to detail. Thanks
How did you get the gasket surface so clean? I noticed that on your 2-part video as well. Scotch brite pad??
I have my timing cover off and im about to pull my intake. Your videos are very helpful, thank you for such detailed instructions.
I use B12 on a rag. amzn.to/4aTEjtd
@@ozzstars_cars thank you, I'll pick some up!!
You probably just solved my leak. Thank you.
At least guided you in the right direction. You're welcome.
Did you use right stuff on the threads on the bolts too for the intake manifold? Mine is leaking through the bolts.
If you watch the two part series I posted you will see where the bolt threads have sealant.
A very well documented video. I don't know why Eric doesn't like Corvettes. I find them pretty much bullet proof and when you do have to work on them, well, they are just another Chevy. :)
Thanks for the support Wyatt!
Great tips Glen 👍 this was a very common task back in the day. It’s been awhile since I I had one come in. Maybe that means the reseal is better than factory?
I noticed you yanked it off behind the scenes lol are we still allowed to say China wall 😅
Can't say "yanked it off" either
@@diymisfit_Mechanic_UDX404 we are doomed
@@robinsonsauto DOOOOOOOOMED!!!
@@diymisfit_Mechanic_UDX404 oops, my bad.
I can't show how I do it all Will. Those pesky non nudity rules. lol
hey glenn nice work! gm changed their gms the black was junk the newer in gray have you ever used 3 bond ? the bolts have to be sealed too ive used silicone grease on the o rings also but wondering if it can kill the o2 sensors
If I use black silicone it is the Ultra. I use Ultra Grey on the Japaneese cars. The amount of silicone on the fuel injector o-rings will never get to the cats and won't be a problem.
good video will be helpful in-case i may have to do the same on my 93, you have a heated garage?
I use a large space heater and a kerosene torpedo heater. I wish the garage was climate controlled but it's not.
@@ozzstars_cars using torpedo heater you get high co?
@@makosharkcnc7730 gotta be careful 😉
May be a dumb question, but what did you use to clean up the old gasket material and oil? Any chemicals involved to get everything that clean? Or, did you just wipe everything with rags?
Thanks, and this video and the 2 part is awesome. I can't wait to try this with my Corvette. It'll be the first major repair I attempt.
I use B12 Chemtool amzn.to/3R1y79j , powerful stuff that eats carbon. Strong fumes, use good ventilation. -Ozz (Glen)
Any chance to publish the correct procedure for bleeding the clutch system? I just changed my master cylinder but the clutch is crap. No one ever really shown how to do it on the C4. I am restoring a LT4 bought destroyed on a auction.
Sorry I do not have a video on that procedure. If I had an opportunity to film it I would.
Have you done a cylinder head removal video?
What Is a cylinder removal? Are you talking about a piston removal??
Great vid very helpful 😊
Glad it helped you Chum!
well done ozz
Thanks Mako
I had a leak, up front, passenger side. All bolts on passenger side, after 13 years were loose. Strange. I tightened them until I get new gaskets etc.
I have seen cases where those bolts are loose.
Should there be air pressure in the gas tank when I remove my cap There is a big whoosh of air.
How are you doing Glen I need to ask you a question I’m taking the throttlebody off my car to clean it and put all new parts in it.pull the four bolts out and this thing won’t coming off and I took my rubber mallet and I hit a couple times pretty good and it worried Break loose. I don’t wanna break or crack it. Do you have any solutions I could do. It’s a 94 C4. I spray WD-40 around it.
Put a block of wood on top, then hit that, preferably with a mallet. The only thing that should be holding it on is an old gasket and time. Hope that helps.
Thanks brother👌
I did exactly what you said but it took a little bit more harder hits than I thought it would I was just worried about a cracking. Now I think I’m gonna just do the intake gasket since I’m already there I see a little oil it’s not too bad but I Might as well change it since I’m there. Thanks again hopefully I’ll meet you at a vet car meet. I owe you a couple beers.
@@davevaughn7057 glad it worked out! 🍻
Cool
Been a while buddy. 👍
Vetty!!!
America's sports car.
@@ozzstars_cars not sure if you noticed but I've been a subscriber of yours for years and my comment of choice is always "vetty!". Keep up the good work sir.
@@1teem thanks for the support! I've noticed.
Do I need to give the rtv time to set like 5-7 mins before putting on the intake manifold?
Depends on the brand. Some RTV is designed to setup immediately and some are much longer.
Disculpa amigo tengo un Corvette C4 1995 todo el tiempo está un poco acelerado , no se si me pudieras ayudar con algún consejo ,muchas Grasias
¿Cuál es el problema exactamente?
@@ozzstars_cars Ok grasias por responder amigo ,mi auto trabaja muy bien pero lo siento un poco acelerado anda como un poquito abajo de las mil revoluciones, no se si sea normal eso cuando estoy en una luz o en un stop le quito el freno y se va sin darle gas ,no se si eso sea normal ? Grasias amigo
Disculpe tengo un Corvette 1995 LT1 y tengo que darle 2 o 3 veces para que prenda , ya le cambie bujías cables los inyectores trabajan bien, y solo batalla para prender ya cuando está a su temperatura normal ,por las mañanas no batalla nada , solo cuando ya lo voy a prender más de una vez ,si me puede ayudar con algún consejo se lo agradezco ,alguien me dijo que era el distribuidor ,pero espero su consejo
Is that the same L1 engine that I have in my 2005 GMC SIERRA 2500HD?
No, 05 is a LS platform
Can anyone give me a quick somewhat answers I have a 1994 Corvette and my oil pressure gauges drops and I don't know why because my cars is still good on oil?
Don't trust the junky mechanical gauges, they are not accurate.
@@ozzstars_cars yea but then my lights come on in the console say low pressure and something stability
@@dragonslayer6171 diagnose with an oil pressure gauge.
So I use sealant on the intake manifold Bolts?
It's explained in the video on an LT1.
Chaos is everywhere on my old trucks, it can be so hard to find where it all came from.
LoL good way to put it!
all the motors did that the 350s blow out all the time. I have a 94 vet I deleted the antifreeze going to the throttle body I live in Jersey it’s not that cold
Not cold? Didn't you guys just get a bunch of snow last week?
Nice. It would have been better for noobs like me to see how those injectors came off and few other details. Anyway, thanks for sharing.
Then check out the two part video series. The links are in the description as I promised.
Oh rags in the ports now yea tell me lol dropped a bolt down my 85's a few years back nightmare indeed...half a dozen magnet sticks later we got it out. Won't be doing that with my 95'.
Live and learn, or watch a video. haha That's real life there! 👍
@@ozzstars_cars lol I got dirty looks when I dropped it and when we got it out 😆
Mine are leaking on both sides.
Time to be repaired.
Dang pesky oil leaks.
So annoying but yet a great rust preventer.
Bam first
Leon must be sleeping. 🤣
