New C4 Owner
Hello to all the corvette gearheads out there! My name is Steven Cook and I recently came into the possession of a 1990 corvette. It' got the L98 in it. If only I had a Z-R1. Anyway my dad was the reason I loved corvettes so much but his life was cut short by cancer last year before he was able too own one. So this ist chance give him his heavenly vette. Every car show we went to it was always vette. So the one I have now wasy brothers. It sat in his garage for about two years until I bought it for a call at. Yes that' right a dallar. He got a new one. Anyway when I got it I cranked it for a few mins and it ran. But there was a small hole by the number 4 cylinder exhaust port. This isy first time to mess with a corvette motor. As of now I have it on am engine sta.d in my garage and in the process of disassembly. I have a lot of questions regarding normal wear on the rollers and cam and some other things but I'll save that for the right place.
Enjoy while you can.
