ya the window motors r pure shit on those cars…it takes mine like 20mins to go up or down all the way. i havent replaced the rotors yet but itll be sometime this year. brass gears for the headlights = the win tho, cause i have those…other than that, i cant think of any real problems and i know that squeaks and stuff like that r pretty normal on the cars. ---

It’s easy to bend valves from over-reving. I figure that all SBC’s will leak oil. It’s an undocumented feature. I call my LT1 the “externally self-oiling motor”. ---

oil leaks are good, they keep the bottom the of from rusting
