  • LT-1 owners...

    so today i picked up a 1995 z 28 6 speed with c6 wheels for 2000 he wants 2800 for it so i owe him some with 130k. engine and tranny seems good. he said he changed the optispark and water pump. clean title car. drove it home. then to my friends chilled for an hr. i was on my way to put gas. and car started kinda stallin bogging and shut off. i pulled over and looked under the hood and i heard it leaking. looked under and looks like its the coolant. from the back of the engine. water pump is all i can think off. didnt overheat. engine temp is was good oil pressure seems like low at idle like on the 1/4. whatdaya guys think i should do? can i get my money back still its only been like 4 hrs!

    water pump is on the front of the engine.

    check the hoses first.

        the only thing that would be leaking from the back is the heads. thats the only thing i can think of back there.

                lt1 has alum heads i guess it can be the heads any pics of the motor or car to wat side is it leaking it takes alot to f**k up a lt1 i have over heated mine to the point where it started knoking and turn off by it self twice. turn it on the next day and as if nothing had happen and still running strong with 117k i don't know if the guy might want to return you your money but if its the heads well tell him to call i even for the 2k and with the 800 replace the gaskets

                          i remember checking it last night and the k&n intake was unlugged from the throttlebodie so maybe it was running rich for a bit.. would that b a reason for it turning off like shuttering? why did it leak!!!! omg.

                              id suggest getting it up on a hoist and taking a better look.
                              and maybe dont drive it.
