with these bugs, you need to invest in the Helm Manual. It's about $120.00, and will save you a ton.

I need to get my 92 helm out to help you with that other code, so I will get it out to check these numbers.


Thanks a lot, from what I've seen from that AllData stuff my friend got for me, it's basically a lot of checking voltages at certain points...problem is, it doesn't tell you where those points are! lol

I'm hoping it's just a little out of wack and I still have another few horses that I haven't been using this whole time. :tongue:

Food for thought -- the difference in thread pitch (threads per inch) is the critical item that determines what strength is left in the holes. The holes are definitely weaker by being re-threaded, but the amount the holes are weakened is a function of the difference in thread pitch between the two bolts and less to do with the 0.02 inch difference in diameter.

Think of it this way -- when the holes were originally tapped for 8 mm bolts, a certain amount of metal was removed.

Now the holes are re-tapped for 5/16". More metal is removed, now from different parts of the hole wall. Not a good situation.

You now put your 5/16" bolt into the hole and torque it. The threads are not supported completely -- if the holes have been weakened enough, the hole wall will fail before you reach the torque specification. That's probably the best thing to happen, as you will now have to bring the unit to a machine shop and have them repair the holes correctly. What is likely to happen is that the hole walls will support the torque spec, but will fail when the engine is under full load.

Why? There are gaps where the original 8 mm bolt tap had already removed metal. The RTV, or threadlock or any other additive is not going to increase the ultimate strength of the bolt in the hole. All they do is to resist the bolt from turning. However, when the load is placed on the bolt, it is straight out of the hole, the additives have no affect.

This is harder to explain than I thought, and I'd be happy to try again, but the bottom line is that I wouldn't trust your "fix".


I don't disagree with your assessment. My repair is just that, a repair. If it goes badly, I'll take it off and Helicoil the hole. THe threads were so trashed I didn't have much of a choice.

I'll admit, it's a shot. Not too much material came out of the hole, I know what you are saying about thread pitch. Essentially, if there isn't enough meat on the threads, the bolt can pull right out.

At the point I was at, there wasn't much I can do without complete dis assembly. So I took a shot. If it has to come back off, it's not that big a deal, it's external...

We'll see what happens.


why not drill them out and grow the hole to 9mm or 10mm? Just a thought. I don't know the area and have no idea if there is enough meat left.

In all seriousness, I would love to do body work, but I don't have the garage space... When I do get my Vette repainted, I will do the prep and priming... I will sand that primer, remove the bumpers and the emblems, so that all it will need is final colour coating.

So I hooked up Datamasters to the Vette last night and used one of the free tunes and it gave a whole bunch of data (does anyone know if you have to purchase the program to be able to record data? I couldn't seem to get it to log any data)

Anyway, one thing I noticed was that when I floored the pedal, it was only showing up as 72-75% throttle and that if I basically stood on it, I could get it to go to 82%ish. So am I not really going WOT and just need to make an adjustment somewhere or would the people who built my car have done that for a reason? (Cammed, stroked, lots of other stuff, ect) Like getting too much fuel for the tune or something?

here is a good test...

start the engine... then turn off the engine, leaving the key on. be sure to have the windows open, the radio off and the fan at 0.

The goal? to listen to the duct work. If the system is holding vacuum, it will work for 3-4 cycles before loosing enough held pressure to open the dashpots.

If you don't have ANY such action, there is a serious vacuum problem.

Back in the early 80s a friend had commented that her car wasn't running right... It was a 78/79 vintage Oldmobile Cutlass, with a small V8. I started the car, and it was a bit funky... I tried to work the climate controls and they were frozen on defrost. I pulled off the air filter element and started looking for a vacuum leak... I found a small hard vacuum line that had fallen off the carb base. I found a piece of soft hose to replace the bad nipple, attached and the car ran better... and amazingly, the climate controls worked, too...

She later told me that the local GM dealer charged her some $50.00 and couldn't find it.

C'mon CC you know this is the typical 4x3 scam from a "Vette" shop.

You don't take a 4x3 in that is running just fine, change the fluids and then both trannies are all the sudden junk.

OP, There is something fishy here, and I just hope the dealer and that shop work it out without involving you.

IF you want, CC know exactly the steps to accurately trouble shoot the 4x3. I'll bet you a donut it is something minor.

Your problem may lie with the rest of the vacuum hose. It may be dry and brittle and cracked somewhere along the route. That would be my next step.

The fact that your control unit changes settings leads right back to a vacuum issue. OR the gate is simply stuck in one place.

Do you hear the "hiss" when you punch up different settings on the control unit?

This really pisses me off, because now I'm gonna run down the Chevy dealer in the morning and spend top dollar on the GM gaskets if they even have them in stock. Then I got to come back home and pull the head I spent so much care torquing to spec and then reinstall a gasket that might be the same as the one I just removed!!!

I did a little hunting too but was unable to find out. I can confirm that the GM Impala gaskets are indeed .029" when compressed, having measured them after removal. One would think that the gaskets you reference, since they're listed as for the Impala and similar LT1s, would be very close to that too. But who knows? I share your frustration. When I want to know something, I want to know it, dammit!

Do you agree that you need both? If not we have nothing to argue about.

yes I agree you need both. But in thermal solutions as CC pointed out Temperature delta at the point of heat exchange is crucial.

The Colder the radiator is to begin with will dictate how much cooling you get from running fluid through it.

If the radiator has no air flow you can calculate how many Watts is it will transfer sitting in an ambient room. The wattage transfer will actually diminish by running more heated fluid though it without changing any other parameter.

That calculation moves once air flow is passing across the fins.

Here is the company I work for as an engineer.

Yeh, I was going to use those, but Lloyd Elliot, the guy that ported my heads, said to use the thinner gasket as it would give me a pinch more compression and since I have such a narrow lobe separation on the cam it would help out.

I hate to cross post forums but I'm needing help. I have been searching the internet all night and found nothing so far. I dd post this other places on the web, so if you see it you can just ignore (sorry)

I started installing my heads, and started to question the gasket. It is supposed to be .029 thk Impala/Caprice LT1 head gasket. The GM part No. is "GM PART # 12553160". This gasket is a confirmed .029"

However, my problem started when I decided to do a cross reference and buy the Fel-Pro brand (Fel-Pro part no. 9966 PT) instead of GM. The gasket appears exactly the same physically, but I can't find and specs on the gasket, and I read on LS1/LT1 Tech that the Fel-Pro Impy Gasket was .049. That would really suck!

The other thing I noticed about these gaskets, is that most of the coolant holes in the gasket are very small relative to the large coolant passages in the head and block deck.

If you guys have a way to find out the thickness specs on the Fel-Pro 9966 PT Gasket I'd appreciate the help big time. I have one bank already installed and torqued and really don't want to remove that head if I don't have to.

Thanks for any help - comments or suggestions

There's two plugs on the a/c high pressure line, about 12" away from the evap coil (the one enclosed in plastic by the firewall).

The big one is your high pressure switch, it opens at high pressure, and if disconnected, will make the fan run. Pull it out and stick a jumper wire in them, see if it shuts the fan off.

The smaller one next to it is a high pressure cutout for the a/c. This will shut off the compressor, but doesn't effect the fan.

Then there's a 3rd plug, right at the evap, that is used to control the compressor during normal operation.

I feel like I've typed all this before.

Figure out the miles/year. How long did it take to accumulate those miles, vs what the odo says now? Could be a typo during smog or change of ownership. Although you'll have to justify it to everyone when trying to sell it if they check carfax.

Maybe the cluster was replaced. The odo's can easily be messed with either way.

This is #2, have you not been paying attention?

Really though, I have been working on a show case 33" style cabinet which is coming along nicely but its far from done. What prompted this? Well I was telling the wife I need a working cabinet so I can bench test the other boards I have to see if they work or not. She let me.

You can buy it anywhere, even walmart. I will tell you this, its a two person job and you want to do it inside a garage. Make sure you have some soap water in a water bottle and buy the tint kit with the rubber squegee. Cut the tint to size using sizors on the outside of the window BEFORE removing the film on the other side. Other than that follow the directions to a T on the pack and make sure you have 2 people. Mine came out ok on the PS window but the other one is jacked a bit and the back window does not look good at all. I made the mistake of doing it myself and on a windy day

That's what I'm going to do. I have the red here, I'll use that. Use what ya got.

The red will work fine.

Since I tapped them and the holes at 8MM are.002 larger, a little locktite in the threads wouldn't hurt. I just don't want them to come loose.


The red will be okay if you don't put too much on. That stuff's pretty aggressive though. I just don't want to see you have problems when it's time to take them loose again.


After all this work, and my advanced age (40) I have no desire to ever take it apart agian.

I have been particularly anal with the re-assembly. I have learned in the past, that I'd rather do it slow and right NOW than have to do it again.
