What do folks think, does this sound like a heater core matrix leaking?... I assume it is a pig of a job if it is!

Afraid that is a Yes and another Yes.

Sorry, but the LT1/4 engines have a dry intake..(no coolant in the intake passage) so if there is coolant getting into the combustion chambers best case scenario is head gasket....worse case cracked block....in between the two would be a warped/cracked head...

they do, but the fluids don't mix.

I don't know how the ABS pumps work, but they don't pump the actual brake fluid... it is kinda like a remote pumping effect thing happening.

what tool would you recommend to cut through burnt timber. I guess an alternate plan is to have a back hoe bust it up but still I'd need some type of saw to clean it up some. Ideas?

My 93 had the exact same symptoms (DIC light coming on and black fluid). I won’t say I was right, but I decided not to bleed the brakes because I assumed it would be pumping all the old black fluid and contaminants through the brake and ASR system (if it hadn’t already got there)… just my way of thinking!?

I did remove and strip down the master cylinder. I found the proportioning valve gummed up and not being able to move freely. I didn’t have any new seals for the MC so I thoroughly cleaned everything in the MC and reassembled. Only then did I flush and bleed the system with new fluid.

I don’t usually prat around with brakes or steering, so I ordered a new MC, however 10,000km later and the repair hasn’t given one problem nor a brake warning light, so the new MC is just sitting in the garage.

Just my experience, but the guy's above have tons more vette knowledge than me and their advice is undoubtedly better.

To be honest, the ABS system is a passive stand alone component of the brake system. It's fluid, is separate from the main line fluids. This is why bleeding the brakes is no different from an ABS system and non-ABS system.

This is also why, if the ABS fails, the brakes continue to function as normal.

I worked in the Nuclear Industry for 15 years. Every facility, every system had a SAR - Safety Analysis Report. They where volumes and identified risk assessments and mediation etc. I know that there cannot always be 100% sure of potential fuck ups, but I think someone was again seriously asleep at the wheel! As I said in the earlier thread mother nature will be the final clean up here. No way in hell that a bunch of floating pig socks can suck up all that oil.

I guess it might worry the spiritualists. That's pretty interesting. They have also found a cure for many cancers (in mice) here at a lab in Miami. Trials won't be complete for about 10 years. Slowly but surely they are uncovering the fountain of youth and finding genes that promote longetvity. Who knows. If I'm lucky, maybe I can collect my pension for a couple of hundred years.
