6. Thou shalt not wash thy motor without assuring the plenum valley drain hole is clear.

Thou shall not drive with power key off

Thou shalt not take thy ZR-1 to a unknowing dealership for engine maintenance,

especially not an oil change!

Latest one I know of; dealership "worked" on the engine, severely damaged it & tried to cover up a broken piston by welding the broken piston

while still in the cylinder. Then sent it home with the owner....... like it was fixed......NOT!

Thou shalt know its T-45 after using a short t-40, stripping it out and moving to the next size in desparation to make it work.
