Car history:
1973 Corvette Stingray. Bought the vehicle about 1 ½ years ago from a hot rod shop in Maryland. It has been my fixer-up project since then. Vehicle has a 355 cu in. Chevy small block (which was built by the shop I bought the car from), M-22 with Hurst shifter, posi-traction, new tires and wheels, radiator, mono-leaf suspension, and LT-1 hood. This car has been a lot of fun however I need money so it’s got to go. THE CAR DOES RUN, however it has recently developed a ticking noise in the valve train. Not sure what the noise is however it may need engine work. I don’t have the time or resources to attend to it. My loss is someone else’s gain. Call George at 703-969-1715 with any questions or to view the vehicle. Thanks for looking. I JUST HAD A LEAK-DOWN TEST DONE THIS MORNING TO PINPOINT THE RUNNING PROBLEM. IT APPEARS THAT THE TWO MIDDLE CYLINDERS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE ENGINE ARE NOT FIRING (I BELIEVE THAT IS 4 AND 6). UPON FURTHER INSPECTION IT APPEARS THAT THE MOTOR IS IN GOOD SHAPE AND THE DRIVER'S SIDE CYLINDER HEAD IS FINE, HOWEVER THE PASSENGER SIDE CYLINDER HEAD HAS AT LEAST 2 BENT VALVES. TO FIX THIS WILL REQUIRE REMOVING THE CYLINDER HEAD, REPLACING THE TWO BENT VALVES AND REINSTALLING THE HEAD. I GOT A QUOTE OF BETWEEN $1,000-1,200 TO REPAIR THIS SITUATION. IF SOMEONE HAD THE NECESSARY TOOLS AND KNOWLEDGE THIS WOULD BE AN EASY AND CHEAP FIX AS MOST OF THAT ESTIMATE IS LABOR. I BELIEVE THIS IS THE ONLY MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THE CAR. THANK YOU.
