Weather is getting better and so is the Corvette

Finally got the oil pan off the other day and after removing the oil pump, a 5lb hammer did the trick and knocked the POS dipstick tube out. I ordered a Felpro gasket which looks amazing by a quality and engineering view point but hopefully it fits as good as it looks.

Oil Pan. Little bit of sludge but nothing to worry about.

Looking better, but I still hate GM

Well I've been slowly working away on the corvette spending about an hour a night. My biggest problem right now is that the oil dipstick is stuck inside the block and requires removal for the passenger side header install. I have no choice but to drop the oil pan and hammer it out but I'm not going to start that till the new gasket comes in which I'm ordering tonight along with a new dipstick but that may require a stop at the stealership.

Today I installed the O2 sensor with shortened harness and routed the new Taylor 8mm spark plug wires on the driver side. I'm not a fan of the wire lengths and apparently they are supposed to be custom tailored to my engine. Next time I'll probably go with over the top header wires and hopefully they just copy OEM lengths.
