I laughed so hard at your little dig about the Z06. I was so distraught yesterday .. but I have since spoken to both parties .. I am content with where I currently stand with both of them. It is indeed a class-act move on GTM's part to work with me through this. Also, Tardcore isn't a bad guy, he feels bad for what happened to my car and was apologetic that this event even occurred. Besides, the Z is not my daily driver and it only sets me back 2 weeks. I still have plenty of time to ensure that I am ready for Z Dayz!

Shit happens and people learn from it. I am just glad to see a Sponsor like GTM step up to the plate twice!

Tipsz see you at Zdayz, wish it was sooner!

Tardcore,

Isn't the oil under the valve cover under pressure? Maybe I'm mistaken, but I'm under the impression that everything under swimming in oil, under pressure...

Not "crankshaft bearing" levels of pressure, but under pressure none-the-less.

Nope...Oil is Just pumped up to the the bearing journals just like the crank journals really (except for the oil that gets spewed across the garage to keep this on topic), it squirts out, gets flung around a bit and then drains back to the sump. Pop off your oil fill cap while the car is running and take a look....
