Wait is the vent valve (the one that connects out of the middle port of the cannister) located under the hood or by the gas tank?

No, unfortunately the aluminum coolant elbow is not what I'm talking about.. (part 10 in the explosion diagram)

Hey guys, I found what appears to be a dried out seal inside my heater inlet/outlet pipe. I am wondering if there is a Dorman equivalent for the seal or do I have to purchase the entire assembly from the dealer? The GM PArts east catalog indicates that it's "part of 4,7" meaning the adapters but ...

Update: Went with the 565-028.1 along with Aviation form-a-gasket. They fit the best despite not being a "recommended part" in O'reilly's database.

Anyone know what the official dorman part # for our freeze plugs are (96 L67)??

The GMPartsEast catalog says (part 129) that it is a 1.51'' diameter plug with .31'' thickness.

Matt you're right! The rotor was upside down. Got in out of town this evening, flipped it. Now it sits evenly and the shaft no longer binds!

So I cracked my original oil pump, I think due to the fact that it wasn't properly seated. So I ordered another one and for the life of me I can't seem to get this one to sit flush on the oil pump shaft hole. Here is a video of what I am going through.. any thoughts?

Hey guys, I was looking at re-ring kits on eBay and found that there was a clear distinction between the kits for the 95-98 models and 99-03 models. As far as I know, I thought the engines were virtually the same. What do you guys think would be the difference between these kits?

So as I was disassembling the tranny, the pin started coming coming off but the head and part of the body just kind of snapped and broke. Any idea how to take it out at this point? Should I just drill into it?

What common power tools are good for removing the metal sleeves that surround the urathane/rubbery material on the bushing?

I saw this video:

But taking a hacksaw and chisel on the controls arms on the 21 mm bushing took me close to 2 hours each!! Mostly ...

Where did you order it from just out of curiousity? Do you have the part number?

I should mention, here is what I have done with my L67 so far:

*Block with cylinder bored 20/1000 over
*Diamond Pistons
*Intense Stage 1x Cam
*Yella Terra Roller Rocker Arms (1.8 ratio)
*LS1 Pushrods
*Comp Cams 105
*3.2'' Supercharger pulley
*SLP Headers

Here is a list of what I think I will be ...

Jeez same exact thing happened to me. Unfortunately its lowest on my totem pole of things to fix but I'm interested in the feedback

In another thread, I mention that I am switching out the 4t60E HD that came with my car to a 65E HD. To prepare for this I pulled a 1998 SE N/A wiring harness set and PCM that had the big round green 65E plug.

One thing I noticed on the L36 harness compared to the L67 one that came with my car was ...

The engine is complete! So EchoSSEI convinced me that before I drop it in, I might as well rebuild the transmission since it has more than 200k miles on it and since I am 7 bolts and 2 drive shafts away from pulling it out. Plus I don't know how all the performance parts on the motor will affect the ...

I had gasket material that was stuck to the supercharger and the LIM very tight and used a pretty hard gasket pick on the surfaces. Needless to say they are very scratched up and the supercharger even has some nasty abrasions on the gasket surface. Do you think I should get them resurfaced or do the ...

Rogue: That LIM video is awesome. I tried to browse the site but I can't find if they have any other videos. Do you know if any other narrated videos for "larger scale" repair on these cars?

In case someone needs it

Based on the harness (you didn't say what it was for) I can tell this is a 96 H body SC car.

Ready..this is all from from my head and you can trust it.
A Pcm connectors (match blue to the blue label on pcm and clear to clear)
A1. Trans connector for a 4T60E
A2. Power ...

So what is the acceptable replacement for dexcool that most use?

Okay, so I've done my best to do a search on this board and many others, but I couldn't find a really comprehensive writeup on the engine wiring. If one exists or someone has pictures with labels from their own rebuild I would be greatly indebted.

So I have an idea of where the fuel injector ...
