Good luck with the surgery! I damaged the joint in my big toe once that caused it to mostly fuse. I had surgery on it in 2016 to reform the joint. Recovery took a bit of time (months). Hoping you have a quicker recovery!
I bet adding the insulation also helped with lighting due to the reflecting aspect of it?
I hate anything to do with gear oil so this is to motivate myself to change it.
Last October, my friend bought a, '06 Z06 Corvette out of Ohio. Took a flight with him to drive the car back home. He bought it for a track car (and fun) that runs compared to his two RX7's. I have been displaced a bit in the garage but that is the way it should be. Head work, Long tube headers, and a centrifugal blower make it interesting to drive on the street without getting carried away or in a ditch.
If you are concerned at all about the antifreeze and don't want to get a tester or it test bad, you will be better off dumping all the coolant out leaving it empty.
I was looking for one of those donut things but couldn't find anything listed for the car. Do you remember the brand gasket set that came with the donut? The FelPro 8993 didn't nor the Felpro kit above it (more gaskets).
ps: I have the headgasket number already memorized........this is not a good sign.
I have been fighting an exhaust leak between the wastegate cone and the down pipe. Finally gave in on Friday and went to a exhaust shop. The cone part of the down pipe must have oblong from misalignment and was never going to fit. The garage made a new pipe and also added a glass pack for me right before the ler.
So much better! A little less on the dB's for the longer drives and I can hear the radio better. Also having correct reading from the wideband is a plus.
I've rented a spot in my friend's garage for the winter. Yesterday I put the 'Bird away before the snow comes and all the salt on the roads.
Now that marching band is done for my daughter's schedule, the parent taxi cab service has gotten a mild break. Two teenagers are busy. Plans for the winter is tear into the wastegate actuator and the gate operation. Replace the starter solenoid and the ignition switch (I think it is the solenoid going bad but not a bad idea to replace both).
I'd like to get a caster/camber alignment kit this winter just to tinker around with the MM caster plates.
