Ok nice videos , I took the time to look through them all at here the library. The slow wipers on the HUP are mesmurising .... they would put me to sleep as I was driving along . My C8 has the same sleepy wipers .. has anyone fitted a vacuum tank yet ?

I will ask my neighbour down the road to help me out with the diagnosing of the piston pin noise in the C8 engine .

The valve guides have a .342 " bore and a OD of 9/16" . There are cheap modern generic guides available with a .342" bore but they have a OD of 1/2" EGGE parts in USA have the correct guides for 2.60 $ US each but the postage is a killer .
