My red car popped a head gasket. it has 155 k so I am thinking its time to rebuild it . I have tried jeff, aaron , mark . corey and mike all are either too busy or or never returned my email. does anyone know of someone hopefully west coast to rebuild or replace the head gasket . the golf course i am at is going through hard times and i offered to work 7 days a week till nov so they can try to get back on their feet. I need to either get her fixed or sell her to someone . anyone know of a mech or shop to either fix or rebuild. HELP

To bad JVD moved by the Vette museum--I bet there has got to be someone in s cali that can do it---you could proly go north to Jeff vette and get it done by him or folks up there in the PNW group. There must be some LT-5 cert. mech's in s cali at some chevy dealership somewhere!

i tghought about jeff . He was the first guy to help me when i got mmmmmy firstz (BLK) I see he has opened a new shop ? is that correct? but I have eailed hime 4 times to no avail. I have been fixing 8in irragation line lately . the oregonions have a very keen sense of smell. Maybe Ill shower twice before I mail him one more time.

i really wou;ld love to learn this myself. but am so busy . i have one mower that mowes 110in path and can go down to 1/4 in height of cut and do it @ 12mph. but the hydrolics are a night mare plus 27 electric carts. i think i have night mares fixing things

. soif anyone knows GOOD GUY LET ME KNOW

Send him a PM here and he should respond one way or the other. There was a ZR-1 certified mechanic in San Diego at a dealership a few years ago that might still be there. If you don't have any other luck let me know and I will try to find his info.

Jeff can probably do it. I know that economically it is a good idea to go up to 368 cubes if you are gonna need new liners or pistons or both...the price will be the same and you'll get a lil more umph!...and since you're in there have Rob port and polish the whole top end including the heads...I think that's what I would do...maybe even go LOW compression in hopes of the TT setup that's imminent from Ron and Jerry (Raptor, LLC)...

Jon, I sent you a PM. I haven't been online that much lately. Been spending more on the phone and under cars.
