Re: precautions Good question, im in the same boat. I have a 99 SS with 34k Miles on it.. lots of bolt ons.. Thinking of going with the 5177 kit. Id like to know if there is anything that needs attention before hand. FYI: i use mobil 1 every 2000-2500 miles, so the engine should be in good shape.
Re: precautions A leakdown test would be great. I think in your case even a compression check would do, but both optional. Other than that just make sure the engine is operating as it should be. No excessive oil consumption, erratic operation, codes, funny knocks from deep in the motor, etc.
Anyone else have items they did before spraying a motor with miles?????
