You should prob check the fluid in the rear next. Since your doing this *** backwards. If that's not the case make sure your tire pressure is set properly. If all else fails check the washer fluid level or left front inner brake pad for wear.

It's actually quite sad, so the guy pulled his valve cover to check for ****, it's not that hard. Then this guy goes way overboard, practically insulting him because he didn't do it his way.. ******* internet.

just a heads up, since you have to replace the bellhousing anyway you may want to consider upgrading it too. Not many people get as lucky as you when it comes to clutch explosions/bolts flying. I would recommend a QuickTime Bellhousing, good quality very strong and they come with a plate to shield your engine aswell. Well worth the money in my mind, especially if you're already replacing.

I do respect all the work the OP did to the car to diag it after the fact.
Actually just came back from Vacation in Texas! Stayed at CollegeStation for a couple days. Aggieland is no joke.

I just looked at the quicktime bellhousings. there very nice.. but $600 IS alot of dough... Im trying to decide on a stock bellhousing for $189 FROM TICK PERF. Or the baller quicktime $600 with block sheild...
Also Im planning on the thunder racing: patriot heads and cam combo with the t-rex. And a stage 4 monster clutch w/ alum flywheel from ws6 store...
$ 3963.63 is what im totaling with: cam/heads/pushrods/gaskets/
timing set/stock bellhousing/underdrive pullys/belts/all arp bolts for everything! trans stuff too!/ monster stage 4 w\light weight flywheel.
with dyno tune...
Does anybody think I should go another direction. All I do is street..
roll race and stop light... no strip. But i drive it like I stole it everytime Im in it. I truely beat the *** out of it! I mean, thats why I bought it!

So, considering it is on 93oct, stock diff, not the largest tb, stock plug wires, stock maf, stock clutch & flywheel, and no underdrive pulleys - Do you really think putting any other heads on this car are going to boost it much higher?
I'm not here to argue that there aren't better heads, but I don't think you're going to regret buying those heads. If hp is left on the table it isn't much and this isn't exactly the dollar menu. My .02

I am fine with the thunder racing combo. Cause it is in my budget. And from what I understand, patriot is a great product.? So is the 500 hp goal like everyone dreams possible or close to it with this set up im looking for??

I don't agree with this too much. My best friends vette with Patriot stage 2's, torquer v.3, fast 102, 90mm GM tb, OBX (ebay) headers, hi-flows & midpipes, Borla SP2 catback, BBK CAI, layed down 464rwhp & 436rwtq.

all Im sayin is there are better heads out there... wich is a fact! There are a plethora of mamofied afr205 or tea trickflow combos putting down more power than 460whp. Like I said the patriot's work, but the op asked if there is something better... wich there is, end of story! So really what's your point? you said that you don't agree with my last post, but then say "I'm not here to argue that there aren't better heads", wich is all I was saying lmao.
Man I hate when people get their panties in a wad when you state your opinion.
