LT5 Parts added to Jerrys Gaskets
 

Just an advance notice here on the ZR1NetRegistry.

Jerrys Gaskets will be adding new and used LT5 engine parts to the product line. The first additions will be showing up in January, just as soon as I can get the parts inventoried, photographed and described into the website.

Thanks to the Registry for allowing me to post Jerrys Gaskets here and thanks to all the fantastic support from the members. You made the gasket & seal project possible.:handshak:

MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Cool, did you buy out Doug Rippie's Inventory Parts?

Re: LT5 Parts added to Jerrys Gaskets
 

Awesome! Cus without parts, we won't be able to keep these awesome machines operational. Can't wait to see what ya got! :thumbsup:

Hopefully, in the near future, I'll have the extra money I need to purchase a full LT5 gasket set from you so I can get my Z on the road. :pray :mrgreen:

You guys need to understand that it's a disease that started with the 29 LT5 engines deal I had a few years ago. I'm fascinated with the LT5 and hoard this stuff. I need you all to help me get this monkey off my back! :sign10:

Re: LT5 Parts added to Jerrys Gaskets
 

29 LT5 engines.....please elaborate:cheers:

Re: LT5 Parts added to Jerrys Gaskets
 

Wow, were those purchased over time, or all test engines?

Re: LT5 Parts added to Jerrys Gaskets
 

Putting up a picture like that is a good way to draw a crowd Jerry.

Good luck on your parts business! I am looking forward to seeing the list.

The engines, except for a couple I kept, have been gone now for a couple of years. They were the last of the big pkg GM unloaded a few years back. There were a couple of Phase II engines and 3 engines that were in the active handling cars. The majority appear to have been used for dyno and in-car testing. Only about 3 of the lot appeared to have been associated with warranty returns. I really enjoyed just tinkering around with the stuff. They were/are part of the LT5 history.

That's really cool! The coolant pipes are switched :)

There are two holes in the water pump... what do you think they were for?

Re: LT5 Parts added to Jerrys Gaskets
 

The coolant pipes were on the engine that way. I always thought that they did that on purpose to make for better access to look while the engine was running on the dyno.

There were holes (1/8 NPT) in several places on the engine, for instrumentation probes.

Re: LT5 Parts added to Jerrys Gaskets
 

Thank you all. I've been working on getting it all unpacked & out where I can see it and just came in. Still a lot to unpack and organize before I can start adding it to the website. There will be new and used parts which will be clearly marked in the descriptions. What will take time is photos, used parts inspection and writing up the descriptions. Everything will have to be weighed so shipping can be calculated.

It's sorta like an early Christmas, opening boxes. I like messing around with all of this stuff anyway.

Reading all of these flattering and supportive posts makes my old bones feel pretty good. Thank you all! :handshak:


Merry Christmas to everyone.:icon_sant

Re: LT5 Parts added to Jerrys Gaskets
 

Good move Jerry. I got tired of calling and being told the frost had heaved the door shut, and then never getting a call back in the spring after the thaw.

Re: LT5 Parts added to Jerrys Gaskets
 

Great news :thumbsup: Jerry has first class customer service!

Re: LT5 Parts added to Jerrys Gaskets
 

Congratulations Jerry! I hope this new venture has good fortune for you!:thumbsup:





:( now I have another place to spend my $$, but that's the nature of the addiction!:mrgreen:

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
:cheers:

Re: LT5 Parts added to Jerrys Gaskets
 

But the Monkey looks so good on you...

Thanks for your service to the ZR1 community!

Re: LT5 Parts added to Jerrys Gaskets
 

During January. As I presently think it will happen, parts will begin to show up once everything is shelved in an organized fashion. Each part will be inventoried, assigned a PN, photographed, described, priced & weighed for shipping purposes before it is put on the website. It will take awhile due to the used parts with the same part numbers that have to be described individually and given a unique PN suffix code. That's going to slow the process down.

Re: LT5 Parts added to Jerrys Gaskets
 

Great news Jerry. Can't wait to see your inventory listing!

:handshak:

Re: LT5 Parts added to Jerrys Gaskets
 

No. That's the old web site. I just edited it to indicate the current status and render the parts list non-functional, since it was incomplete and out of date.

I am keeping the LT5-Parts.com domain name which will ultimately link directly to JerrysGaskets.com which will display both Jerrys Gaskets and LT5-Parts on the header. The plan is, clicking on the LT5-Parts logo will take a customer to the first page of parts.
