New to the Forum, not new to Corvette
The '16 & '13 in the garage in Auburn WA. The 16 Z-51 I bought new locally, the '13 I purchased used in Grand Rapids MI. 2 weeks ago. I drove it home, 2300 miles. These are 3rd & 4th Corvettes respectively. The 1st. was a '67 427 coupe in 1969. The 2nd was a '73 in 1973. I've read some of the concerns about dropped valves with the LS-7 motor, but don't' think I have that problem (yet?) I burned 1/2 quart of oil in the 2300 miles across country. We shall see.

Welcome to the forum and congratulations on your nice pair of later model Vettes!
Great work getting these to stay attached to the ceiling. When I tried it, mine kept falling down.
