well.....my 92 got collected from southampton docks today....with what appears to be a very noticeable knock at idle (probable cause to be confirmed but a knock is a knock and they are never little problems)....l havent had the chance to drive it to see if goes away after a quick thrash (car has been undriven for 2 months and on a ship)
getting the motor rebuilt will be all but impossible here (due to there not being too many knowlegable LT5 mechs in UK) Sooooooooo! looking to see if there are any resonably priced reliable motors around for sale......l dont have the spare cash this moment for a crate engine but if one were available l would like to know anyway Last edited by xxxscimitarxxx; 10-20-2008 at 07:12 PM. |

Ron Hanselman has a used 91 model engine for sale. ron@raptorllc.net
Your knock may not be the engine. It could be the dual mass flywheel with the rubber dampeners gone bad.

Thanks Jerry.....
I forgot about the flywheel as an option....could be.....are there any other symptoms for this that l can get checked out....from memory recall l seem to remember that while annoying it doesnt make the car undriveable but if not that l will make the other contacts re motors.....thanks guys....much appreciated....As ever the ZR1 community never fails to help a brother Dave Last edited by xxxscimitarxxx; 10-21-2008 at 12:06 AM. |

Don't be put off by the 4 cam motor. Opening the hood to work on the LT5 once concerned me, now I would have no issues with pulling the motor and stripping it down and I'm just a self taught owner. As many service books and service videos you can lay your hands on are your friends

![]() To simplify the LT5, and this works for me, I break the motor down to three main groups - HG down = 'short motor', the HG up = 'top-end'. And 'Sensors'. The Top-end is probably the more involved with it's A/ quad cam set-up, B/ secondary system, C/ Injector system and D/ plugs to coil pack system. Luckily there are a few long term owners in the UK now who know the LT5 and if you ever need to copy tools I have the relevant ones that I had made up. Regards.
