So now the undersides of your cars will be as clean as the tops?

Yes Sir! That’s the plan plus a project that’s been on hold for way to long, the WS6 TA that my Daughter bought from Chris Cassperson, is not running, we need to get that on the lift and drop the motor so we can see what happened to it. 4 years ago.

Her’s sat over the Winter, like many do its not driven in the Winter she went to start it after checking the fluids and it started right up, ran for 2 minutes, and we herdsomething like when a dip stick rattles not being seated in the tube, or a catalytic converters rattle, then it shut itself off. Tried it again, started for 30 seconds and shut itself off. My Son sent a scope into the pan, and a magnet no metal in the oil. Mike thinks it has something to do with the compression stroke?so we will finally get it up on the lift and drop the motor and hope it’s not damaged. She is so bummed not to be able to drive it, I just hope it’s not the motor because that’s not gonna be a cheap fix being an LS motor.

Get it scanned to see if there are any codes in it. Could be anything. RPM sensor, cam sensor, knock sensor, low fuel pressure, etc, etc.

Sounds like it may have lost oil pressure.

Nice. How high is the ceiling in there.
Mine is 13 feet in the center. Not the same design as yours though.

Thank you Joe, it’s so exciting knowing we are doing it pretty much ourselves and it’s almost there.
