Well I've tried the toothpaste before,and frankly didn't do a thing.I'll try using some sandpaper as per Red_Johnny but wouldn't the bumper have to come off to get to the lens? if so,would taping around the lens work as well? Doug

So a question,when you eliminate the air pump what do you do with the lines? cap them,pull them off? This is interesting. Thanks,Doug

Well I did replace the sensor with exactly the same one which Wookstock posted a picture of,and now I've got a working pressure gauge. My year does have the separate pressure sensor and switch. Doug

Since my oil pressure gauge goes to 80+ on start-up and stays there,need to replace the sensor.Was asked if this was a 1 blade or 3,and have no idea,can't see it,so does anyone know what a 91 should have? stock L98.Thanks,Doug

Looks like my 91 blew the left side head gasket.Now I've been looking for the correct size gasket and see both the Fel-pro 1010 and 1003 should work?? Also, this engine had a stock rebuild done about 5 yrs.ago if this makes any difference.The more I read about these things, the more confused I become!! Thanks, Doug

Brian, big OUCH!!
Dan, 150xx on the car.I've thought about buying a used motor to rebuild and learn from doing it but, then the extra cost, down time,I just don't know. Like most of us I've got more into this car than it's worth,and maybe it's time to move up in years.I've got to have another Vette!! Doug

FOLLOW-UP, Local mechanic stopped by to have a look and he pulled #3 plug and #7 plug and antifreeze came pouring out along with bits of metal shavings.This engine was rebuilt 4 yrs.ago,and it appears to be toast again!!! I'm not putting another penny into this 18 yr.old car. Parts anyone?? Doug

My stock 91 auto is ill!! Has been running great(daily driver) with 150k until yesterday when getting off work I get in to start the car, turn the key and hear a grinding noise from down near the starter.Noise last for 1 sec.then seem to bind,then nothing. This "grinding" almost is a sound of metal on metal "crunch". Got home late due to tow, and now back at work so haven't had a chance to look. Any thoughts?? Thanks,Doug

Well I got some headliner fabric and some 3M #76 glue.Got the old stuff off and reapplied the new fabric and it looks great!! Now to see how long the glue holds. Now that it's up I keep thinking I should have gone with the dark blue fabric instead of the black, oh well. Enjoy your weekend!! Doug

As a follow-up to this,I did just bite the bullet and ordered 2 Sumitomo HZR III's from Tire Rack. So far they seem nice,not loud,hold well in the rain,we'll see..Doug

Hey thanks, I have seen some of the 3M glue that says "not for automotive headliners". Don't want to have mine drop in my lap in a few months. Doug

Well the headliner in my 91 has finally got the "sag" bad!! I've got new headliner fabric,and have read the many threads on how to put in the new one. My question is should I use contact cement or the 3M glue to secure the foam backer board back to the targa top? seems like many people are split on which holds better,so what say you all? Thanks,Doug

New tire is same dimension as old ,and tread depth is very close. If I could afford 2 new ones I'd get'em but money's an issue.I'm with you ,Biggrizzly,in knowing I've got 2 different tires on back.I'll be thinking everybody will notice,and be thinking "what a jerk,he's got different tires on his vette!! Oh Well....Thanks,Doug

I need some opinions. Took my right rear tire in for repair today and it has a hugh nail which has torn the sidewall. Since it can't be patched/repaired I'm having to buy a new tire!!(the old tire was lyr old) ofcourse the tire dealer is wanting to sell 2 tire due to tread design,etc. Fianlly my question, will it make a difference if the tread on the new tire is close,but not the same as the other rear tire? Thanks, Doug

Well here's my first post question, when using "anti-seize" on threads,etc. do you coat the entire thread,or just a section of it? I've got a new o2 sensor to put in(Delphi) which came with a small tube of anti-seize.Do I glob this stuff on the threads? Thought the o2 sensor was sensitive to this stuff? Thanks for any input!! Doug
