The rings your getting from napa, are they the same as the ones from GM exactly? or are they a "OE replacement" part. and does it matter? I bring this up because with over 5 years at (a very large parts store chain lol) experience with everything from basic counter sales to traveling around training employees at new locations: The parts a lot of times are listed as OE parts, but are far far from it. Now theres been a lot of guys who are more knowledgeable than I as to the reason why you need to use GM rings, but just wanted to make sure that wasn't something that may possibly have been over looked you know.
Man good luck, keep us updated on how its coming.

No probably not...I'm using half the money to pay off my credit cards and with the rest, which won't be much, I'll get something else...and I'm not a fan of C4s so doubt I'd get another Corvette with my small budget. Maybe E36 or Jeep TJ.
