Message	Well, I'm pretty sure that the Z's head gasket is blown, as the engine starts to sputter, overheats, and then stalls once it reaches temp. The turbos need to be rebuilt, the car never had a oil dipstick either, so that really sucks, since it burns oil. I don't want to deal with the VG30DETT anymore, so it's time to change things up. I just purchased a 2010 6.2l LS3 for $3500, and a master swap kit with a 10% off memorial day price from LOJ Conversions. A local shop that specializes in LS engine builds, and track cars will be building the engine to spec and installing it. Turn In Concepts I still need to decide whether or not to leave it NA, supercharge it, or add turbo(s). I suppose that I would like to have the power at or above the Hp that the Z did have a one point. This may take a while, so any positive advice is welcome.
