Re: 97 Z71 driver/project build

well, I put about 400 miles on it this week, had to put a new starter on it, the old 1 was heat soaking too bad so after you warmed the engine up and shut it off, then try to fire it right back up, it wouldn't engage, so got that fixed. charged a/c up and it lasted about 4 days, looks like center seal on compressor is leaking, so got to get a compressor. and a small oil leak on oil pan gasket where it seals to timing cover on the front, don't know why, I used the good fel-pro blue oil pan gasket, but it only leaves about a quarter size spot after its hot and you shut it off, so will have to check that out next oil change. so far it is averaging about 16-17 mpg, with the stock 3.73's, so I am happy so far, just a few little things to work on.
