Re: Update on 94 Z26...

Hey guys...I am absolutely amazed at the price of insuring my beretta's...does anyone else have this experience. I insist on having full coverage so that I have roadside assistance and rental car replacement...bus sheesh...$180 a month seems really steep to me. Progressive said that they categorize ...

Re: Update on 94 Z26...

I had the IMG's changed, new wheel berrings, new oil filter, fuel filter, air, filter, coolant couplers and of course fres...

Re: Update on 94 Z26...

Hey guys...thanks for your input...it is much appreciated. I initially only took it to the dealership to get the diagnostics....good to know that I could do better on the price by checking around. Now that I know what is wrong with it I will hunt around for a shop by using the methods you suggested....

Update on 94 Z26...

Ok guys...heres the deal. I had a full diagnostic ran on the 94 Z26 that I just bought (because I am an idot). It was not the head gasket as the one shop told me. I took it to Camp Chevrolet in Spokane and they said it is the upper and lower IMG's and Oil Pan Gasket, also the entire exhaust system n...

Re: 94 Z26 Head Gasket

Thanks...the car has 154k and there is no milky or chocolaty oil or on the cap...however today I did see a couple of drops of oil on the ground in my shop which I have not seen in the 2 weeks that I have had the car.

Re: 94 Z26 Head Gasket

Hey guys I really appreciate your input. He said that his evidence for the head gasket having a "slow" leak was that the antifreeze looked discolored. He never even drove the car...or started it for that matter. Is this an obvious indication of a bad head gasket and it that the only thing ...

94 Z26 Head Gasket

I am new to this forum although I have owned a 90 GTZ for 7+ years and lovin it...very reliable. Since I have had such a great experience with my 90 I decided to pick up a 94 Z26 (automatic) for my mom to drive while she is visiting from out of state as she can't drive a standard. Thought I was smar...
