Should I pop the heads off or nah? Also, who makes the best Performance Corvette parts? Thank you for watching and consider subscribing for more content like this! You ROOOOCKK!! 🤘🤘

@racingruss7263 Год назад

Pull the heads off...You can get in there and clean up that rusty cylinder and a fresh valve job.

@robertburn8705 Год назад

Only if it burns oil the rings should scrape the rust off

@juliantucci3273 Год назад

Only if it keeps smoking when you run it if not the rust is cleared, run it!

@alexbittle2900 Год назад

i would only try to get to the bad cylinder dont worry about the rest quick clean up reinstall yes take off one head if it was me.

@jonathancarver1547 Год назад

That rusty cylinder probaly has the rings rusted to the cylinder. Get some aerokroil, it works miracles. I bought a seized up reloader that was jacked sprayed it with the kroil and let it sit for a cpl days and it freed up great.

@ericlum5286 Год назад

Just bite the bullet Mike and pull the motor and rebuild it yourself, don't get overwhelmed because you've never done it before, I believe your 100% capable of doing it, it will be a learning experience.👍

@RobWisemanDeezFit Год назад

Agreed..Your tool box is gonna need an extra drawer..I drive a caddy, everytime I garage play new specialty tool required..For the love of the game..Sweet ride...All N on ya.

@angelcelis9090 Год назад

It isn't going to be a hard rebuild either it's not like it grenaded.

@pbag26 Год назад

+1. My first car hd volcanic sh on it and we cleaned it up and pimped it. This car looks doable. It's going to take serious work though. Can't wait to see how you rebuild this.

@83glxcrusin97 Год назад

Nope.. this motor is done. Get a junk yard core and do a build!!! No Brainer...

@Thekidsinafrica14 Год назад

I agree. I never messed with vehicle engines and I rebuilt all the top end on my vortec 6.0. The Ls engines are real easy to work on

@alexcherneta7572 Год назад

Quick tip. Take the serpentine belt off. If your tensioners or alternator is seized from the water it will make the engine difficult to turn over. Worth a shot🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️

@chadriddle3517 Год назад

Great advice

@PeteHager Год назад

Congratulations on 200k subs Mike! Another milestone in the books and many more to come 👏🤘

@MichaelSabo Год назад

Thank you for being there since the early days Pete; hope to see you cross 200 soon as well 🤘👊

@MrBeefsnorkel Год назад

20 year technician commands big money these days. i was one for about 10, just 'retired' to service writing. i miss it tho and my big ass matco box just sits there. nice friend to have!

@motordown7664 Год назад

Due to it being a manual transmission, I’m assuming the vehicle was in neutral during the use of wrench. Another way would be to leave the vehicle in gear and gently push the it back and forth…..parking brake disengage of course. Good luck

@jasonhighlander5498 Год назад

I really enjoy seeing your pops come out an help! He should be in more videos

@patrickmitchell6631 Год назад

Love it ,because you don’t pretend to know everything,and not afraid to ask for help

@MichaelSabo Год назад

A lot to learn with this one for sure!

@abbybonilla4511 Год назад

That colonoscopy joke LOLLLLL Dr. Mike Sabo, Basket Case Colons 🤣🤣🤣

@vettemaniac2237 Год назад

One thing I know for sure ... I had a 2017 C7 with the 7-speed manual. This car will be an absolute hoot once you get her running. And you will get her running! Stay with it!!!

@clintmallard1471 Год назад

Always great to see dad involved.

@mlballough7845 Год назад

Put the spark plug back in the bad cylinder and fill it through the intake with atf/ marvel mystery so then it can soak the valve and hopfully make it so it would have a better chance of a evenly seating

@BobBob-dx1tv Год назад

LoL I told you valve train in the last video. Don’t forget the timing chain and oil pump was in the water. Just pull the motor. You don’t want rust being pushed in the the high pressure fuel pump and the DOD system

@krrmoto5048 Год назад

”Keep all those plugs holed” 😂❤

@shapeshiftsix Год назад

Can't go wrong with Texas Speed for aftermarket performance parts. Let's see a Bald Eagle cam in that bad boy!

@jamesswetland5019 Год назад

Michael it’s an engine you’ll get it cleaned up and it will run. The problem is the water is done damage to your bearings and later on down the road you will have a problem with the engine. But good luck I hope everything turns out well for you.

@angelcelis9090 Год назад

The bearings would only be damaged if they are rusted as well or the engine was ran with rust.

@xtrident60 Год назад

Mike, just love your videos man and this is an excellent series! Thank you for taking us on these rides!

@-jeffreybollenbach- Год назад

Man is it a good day to have one of your videos. Waiting on parts for the quad so it’s been very boring so having one of your videos makes my week. Love the videos. Thanks for all of the hard work you put into these. Love them

@roguetrader05 Год назад

Great content and I know you will get this Vette back on the road. You are doing what I’ve always wanted to do! Go get it bud! 💪🏼

@clangdon1436 Год назад

I guess my comment was bang on . The bad cylinder needs machine work . Honed and valve job .

@buckyhurford3424 Год назад

I’m at 21 minutes in and being a mechanic for 13 years. I like this friend. I was thinking the same as him

@rook13pdx Год назад

Great content man- been an awesome channel to watch, but this is next level. Thanks

@victorgerhardt1504 Год назад

You have to try! I believe you will need a top end rebuild.

@MichaelSabo Год назад

I think it's the best route Victor!

@russomm21 Год назад

Great video, Mike. I'm hooked! You'll get this thing running. I'm sure of it.

@racingruss7263 Год назад

Pull the heads off...Take a scotch bright pad and clean up the rusty cylinder..PB blaster works great..I know you can get this to run.Your quad builds are amazing..Can't wait until the next one.

@rphawx Год назад

Reminds me of the good ol’ days.. boy’s will be boy’s:)! What a great episode! Keep having fun.

@angelcelis9090 Год назад

@JRBetley32 Год назад

I have my fingers and balls crossed you get that thing up and running again👍

@chadriddle3517 Год назад

Congratulations on 200k subs !!! I remember when you had less than 40k subs and been subscribed since I knew you would grow my friend! Killer job on everything you do!

@jasonfuller6527 Год назад

I love the channel, man. I hope the corvette helps grow your channel, even though I'm ready to get back to atv stuff. Keep up the good work!

@MichaelSabo Год назад

Thank you for the love Jason! I will have offroad videos back soon; just got most of the remainder of TRI-Z parts back yesterday 🤘

@christurner5473 Год назад

I love these corvette videos my only gripe is I only wish they were longer and you posted them sooner lol . Great video keep up the great work

@ni_wink84 Год назад

I had high hopes she would break loose! I think your pop and Matt are going to be a huge help getting this going again, after years of watching your videos I already know it’ll turn out amazing! Great video as always Mike! I’m really liking the vette series, can’t wait to see you get her up and running

@ILOVEBACONBOY2018 Год назад

Nice to see you go through with it, rebuild the egine.

@lypheEddie Год назад

Definitely good progress man.l!

@Dansyoung Год назад

Awesome. I started watching your videos a few years ago when I had my yfz450, fixed it up and sold it. I’ve gone back to my roots a bit with cars, currently I’m working on LS3 swapping a Mazda RX8. Also I’ve been closely watching the tavarish P1 rebuild…. Great content 👍👍👍

@Dansyoung Год назад

You also really don’t want to lubricate the seals on the fuel injectors, they are Teflon and easily swell up and leak. I’m in Canada and my local pricing for a LS3 376/480 (ls3 with hot came rated just under 500hp) is 11k.

@just4kicks950 Год назад

It's definitely worth trying the motor. Worst case scenario, new engine. Beautiful Vett Michael 🎬🚘🔥🔥💯👍. Salute 😎 Wish you all the best my friend.

@OnEst_Opinion Год назад

Lol that mechanic was hilarious plus can’t wait for more content on this series.

@kevinconnors9396 Год назад

Pop the heads off dig right into it you'll be able to see better if you do get that rusted cylinder to budge. Don't let all the negative comments get you down just keep plugging away at it and doing what you love to. He'll yea brother keep up the good work you got this.

@mikebarriball Год назад

WOW, THERE IS A LOT GOING ON IN THAT SEAT. THANKS FOR THAT.👍👍

I love your vids Mike my cousin got a salvage corvette c7 grandsport same as yours and it only had 2000 miles and he payed around 20 k and put 20k of work into it and now it is perfect and runs and looks great👍

@kevinconnot3106 Год назад

Looks like you’re on the right track!

@feltonseigler7578 Год назад

Very impressed, im am sure it will run!!! I see worst and had it running in no time. Not a corvette but it should be fine. just a lot work ahead.You got thi this

@andrewmitchell2189 Год назад

I don’t really understand the argument. There’s an engine in it. Do what you do best and send it! The worst that could happen is you have to get a motor anyway. Nothing to lose really.

@raynavarra Год назад

Good stuff Mike. Small wins, will lead to victory. I would definitely pull the heads and get them machined. Clean out the top of the cylinder walls by hand. That rust is surface. But if it’s not, you will know for sure when you pull the heads. I would definitely give it a shot before going to a complete rebuild on a 14k mikes motor.

@teamkazoo 11 месяцев назад

Great vid.

@roadgliderider1 Год назад

When you say "water" it sounds like "weerter" Great project Mike.

@notbuyingit8047 Год назад

33:00 the fuel rail line can be reused, but the fuel injectors are junked by removing them. If you pull them out the heads save your self a ton of headache and get a set of new injectors.

@cpuram8883 Год назад

Just started watching this interesting video. I imagine if there is no oxygen the rust is limited. Looks like you're doing the right thing 👌 for now

@kingkong7617 Год назад

Good luck on the repair of your Corvette and I just feel good about it running again. Just don't give up on it.

@robertevans9354 Год назад

Mike your on the right track , flush and rinse ,clean, decontamination, TLC then panick .

@FatHulkRideEbike 11 месяцев назад

Going to be cool when you fully disassemble that vette and put all the parts in the driveway!

@MichaelSabo 11 месяцев назад

Dude I thought about this... if I actually do that, I'm going to need the whole driveway 😂

@kevinconnot3106 Год назад

I had a friend with a Honda CR 500 was mad at his parents and threw it off a bridge into 80 feet of water was there for over two weeks had divers come in find it we took it apart, cleaned it up put it back together, worked as good as it ever did!

@ScaleRacingChannel Год назад

I would fill that bad cylinder full of Evaporust. The stuff is awesome. I use it to revive old, rusty axles on Hot Wheels. It erases rust and doesn't even hurt the paint or plastic. Obviously you would have to flush the pan out, but you're gonna have to do that anyway....

@MichaelSabo Год назад

I've heard really good stuff about Evaporust - thank you for the info!

@kevinconnot3106 Год назад

Don’t be afraid to run the engine at idle with that mixture in the crank just not very long to three minutes and don’t rev engine at all. Then drain I’ve done it dozens of times and it does not hurt anything, but actually gets the gunk out of the oil ports and bearings.

@PaddyBoy644 Год назад

If you’re going to pull the motor you’re probably not going to put it back together stock so just jump the starter motor and see if you can jolt it free? Good luck with what ever you option you take mate. Cheers Pat🇦🇺

@RealSuburbanCowboy Год назад

You have the one thing they didn't that was needed to fix this car. You have the DESIRE to do it. They only wanted to make $$ on the car. You want to own/drive the car. I am calling this a "Cake Walk" for you. I can't wait to see this car running.

@rebuilt4460 Год назад

On the seats I usually buy used seats out of a wrecked vehicle. You can always use the leather if color isn't correct. Better than buying all modules and motors!

Yo am happy for you nd wish you the best from bikes to cars

@shitboxchevy56 Год назад

Best way someone explained it to me, its similar to an atv engine except youre building 8 of them at the same time, as many precautions as you take on small engines id say you could build a healthy engine for this vette, the ls thats in there has so much aftermarket for it you can have a big cam choppy monster or a factory sounding engine, id start off factory and work up since this is youre first V8 also glad you got a second opinion from someone you trust, having friends in the automotive field is a like having a cheat sheet and youve gained so many more, im looking forward what you have planned for this vette

@MichaelSabo Год назад

Great input man; building up a healthy V8 for this think would be sick. If I can make the space to have this inside, I think this is the move.

@IlllIlIlIIlll Год назад

When the car is done i bet there will still be the one guy saying that thier banshee will gap that

@ShoreTime Год назад

I think we both know that just about anything can be fixed. I also think that since we are in the same business, more or less, we both also know in a situation like this, you simply start at the beginning and the small stuff before progressing to major system repair. Whether you continue or trash this project is really about how much time and money you want to put into, NOT whether or mot you CAN fix it. I am sure you can. We would be happy to donate some free labor (turning a wrench) to your effort just for the content.

@outinthebackyard7579 Год назад

Mike you will get way more leverage if you pry on the flywheel. Definitely need to try getting in there through the starter opening

@lescraig6968 Год назад

Those seat motors can be manually moved by the fittings you saw. Use a flex extension with a drill. You had the right idea with breaking it free before your pop hit the power to it. Take all the modules out. Try to open them then hit them with contact cleaner to help with moisture. So that when you power them, there is less chance of a short. Take the project slow: very easy to get over your head and spend unnecessary on future mods when the basics need work, first. Otherwise, great content 👊👊
