I Bought Another SUPER CHEAP C6 Corvette Z06! MAJOR Mechanical Problems!?

- Always been a sucker for a project car. Especially a C6 Z06! Was fortunate enough to come across this 2008 Z06 in need of some serious mechanical love. The LS7 has left the chat! Follow along as I bring it back to better than showroom condition! Should be a fun series!
Man these vids are aesthetically pleasing, informative, and fun to watch! No bs, no childish stuff, and no clickbait or rambling on about stuff that doesn’t have anything to do with the vid, just pure informative content. This man is awesome and I can’t wait to see this channel blow up cause he deserves it🙏🏽🔥
I like guys like you, You remind me of guys like me.
I restored a 1969 Z28 with my best friend. He had been looking for a Z for months. One day while driving our way to Austin from Killeen he spotted the roof of a camaro next to what looked like a warehouse, which turned out to be a barn. We turned back to take a look and it was a 69 Z28, all original. It had been rolled in a drag race, the original motor was in the trunk. We made an offer he accepted, and we were off to the restoration. We had to replace the roof, hood and both rear fenders, all parts we were able to purchase off of car magazines at the time (1978). It took us 2 years of working on weekends and holidays. I taught myself how to weld and he did most of the mechanic work while I assisted. I haven't seen him in years (I moved away). I hear he still drives it daily, red with white stripes.
Then we resorted my 1969 427/390hp Corvette. I sold it years later.
Then we restored my brothers 1971 Challenger 340 with 202 heads, Plum Purple...what a blast.
I'm old now, but those are some of my most cherrished memories.
Awesome story. Glad you enjoy the channel!
Regardless of the issue, that’s one hell of a deal! Can’t wait to see you fix it up!
What did it cost. Ty
Looks like a fun project car. Be sure to thoroughly flush out the oil cooler, dry sump tank, and interconnecting oil lines, or your new engine will be toast as well.
I am really loving this channel, no clickbait, no exaggerated titles and some clean ass builds, keep doing what you’re doing man!!
Every car he gets is liked by me,I guess they're universally liked.
Thanks man!
I read the first comment and immediately subbed this channel. I’m looking forward to the future of watching it.
would love to hear your lifestory, as it pertains to cars and your mechanical aptitude....fav cars from your teen years..one thing i know..folks dig cars ..also of note, your subs are adding up..surely deserve so much more..but your day will come..peace
Gorgeous Z06. I want one in that spec so badly. You are living the dream man!
Yessss, love it. We all can relate to the excitement of those early morning trips to get a new ride.
Love your videos Chris, I am impressed at how knowledgeable you are about all aspects of car repair.
Not sure why this channel doesn’t have 300k subscribers. I can’t stop watching more and more of the videos!
Thanks for watching 🤙 👀
15k is a great price. Dump 15 into it and you got a running z06. Hell of a deal in this market 💯.
Your approach is methodical and organized. You do great work dude.
Favorite content creator
Quickly becoming one of mine 👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽
@@mrmilo1971 seconded
You guys need to get out more.
1st 2 mins is non content and a waste of time.
@@angelo_giachetti let people enjoy things damn
@@milesm978 EXACTLY!!!
I don't understand why the hell you don't have a million subscribers... Been watching you for awhile you caught my eye working on the couple F - body Camaros you have had on the channel. Your video production is on point man .
I have watched this series several times and it never gets old love the content
Love the whole factory/O.E.M. approach!
Keep the wheels and let the roof be red.
You did the black thing already on the other
Z06.😊
so cool to see the C6 in depth. Im new to the muscle V8 crowd, but this vid is informative as well as entertaining. I'm all in!! Thank you and keep up the channel !!
Another Corvette and car from NH. That is awesome and enjoy your content. Good solid information without the hype or clickbait. I hope your channel continues to grow
Anticipating the follow up video already 👍 Love your channel!
So second video I've watched and the dude washes the car & vacuums the carpet before undertaking anything more substantive. My kinda guy......would love to be neighbors with Chris. 👍
I would've definitely bought that Z06 for that price too. Looking forward to seeing the finished product once you put all of your touches on it. Happy travels!
This was my buddies car. Think I was the first one to find that hole in the block at the track. Going to miss that car. Good to see it went to a good home. Following to see the restore progress.
It was definitely tough to see but I think we all knew it was there somewhere haha
Man it's completely off topic but holy *shit* your property is beautiful. The way the asphalt contrasts against the foliage is just beautiful
Can't wait to see this car get a second chance at life. I know doc Sullivan is going to stitch her up right!
Love the commentary about the valve guides
This is my first Video I have watched of yours and enjoy it!! Subscribed to keep up with the Z06. I currently have a 11 Carbon Zo6 and 18 Carbon 65 GS and 19 2lt GS, so excited to watch.
As a z06 owner this is super interesting to watch. Liking the content!
Love the builds, the vision. Keep it up
I own a 04 Bmw m3 6sp manual.13,000 miles on fresh engine, new vanos, clutch, diff bushings,axel boots,and seals.New guibo and cv joint on the drive shaft, stop tech rotors and brembro pads.Outer tie rods and and braided steel brake lines.The mods Dinan throttle bodies,cai,stage 4 tune,short shifter,h&r lower springs, rogue shock mounts,carbon kidneys,gills,rear defuser,pedals and brak ducts.The exhaust is a megan,the rims are Iforged 19x9.5 245-35 rear 19x12 275-30.Everything works on the car,back seats look new.With all I've spent I'd trade it for a C6 Zo6.
"all the valves are still there" LOL LS7 convos are funny
lol, the Dawn triggered me, glad you explained that you use it to strip wax and oils. I love your content. Going back and watching builds I have not seen.
I've watched every episode of this build, and loved every minute of it. Subscribed for the next adventure. Thanks for the great content.
Awesome project. Personally, I wouldnt do black wheels and black roof. My Z06 was V.yellow and I had factory competition grey wheels that looked great. Maybe a silver/grey paint? I think that would look clean and much better.
I can't wait to get the c6z. I've been putting in work for a while now but life happens so I had major setback. you never know by the time you're done working on that car, I can be a potential customer. its my dream car and it would be nice buying it from someone that I follow on TH-cam and definitely consider your advices for cars.
Nice work, this will be a joy to follow along. The Black 5.3 turbo content was awesome as well. You did such a nice job on that monster and it was a great series. Hopefully someday I'll get there as well in the near future.
Man you have to be one of my favorite channels right now. I live in RI and currently have a '17 2ss Camaro but have been trying to find a c6 z06 or GS around the new England area for a while. if you find anymore steals up your way let me know!
First time finding this channel! Anything related to Corvettes and I am sure to have it recommended. Corvettes are my dream car, and soon I will have one.
I drove by this car at the Glen when i was on break instructing my student ...... it sat in the "Field of Dreams" (crashed cars) ....assuming a few days after the incident happened. I was interested in it myself but Congrats on the purchase. Build it up and take it back to the Glen !
Very cool!
Im from africa and I love watching rebuilds and mid vids so ill be watching this one
Haven't even watched the video, and instantly, you have a new sub, I read the comments first. I'm glad I did.
Thanks!
Algorithm brought me here. The forgetting the car in neutral made me laugh so hard i had to subscribe 😂😂. Solid content.
Never can go wrong with DAWN.. bro your 9-5 must pay you great man .. Blessing to have what you have my friend,keep it up
Slow down son! You're already the king!
This is my first video I’ve got to see on your channel and I’m definitely a new subscriber!! Love the truth and the facts you kick out . Can’t wait to see which way you take this Beast !!! Will be glued to updates..
Favorite channel to watch hands down
Subscribed Chris. You seem very level headed and knowledgeable and I look forward to your rebuild of one of the great performance cars, the C6 Z06.
I am in the stock is best camp but I prefer originality...especially if the plan is to flip the car....consider that if changing the wheel finish or wrapping the roof.
PS. No telling why the motor grenaded. Previous owner could have run it out of oil which is common if an eye isn't kept on it running high RPM at the track, could have missed a shift etc.
Will be real curious to see the status of the heads...how you pull the motor out with the torque tube etc.
Best of luck
2015 Z28 Camaro Ls7 427, bought it with 5k miles, put maybe 10k on it and started hearing valve noise. Now I have 60k and noise is way passed a issue, now it's parked and waiting for me removed the heads. I also have a 2009 Zo6 with 50k, removed heads very sloppy worn intake guides. The car has been waiting for a head change as well. Really interesting how a 2015 Z28 has same issues, didn't GM fix the problem??? Nope, but otherwise the cars are awesome but do require replacing guides which is minimal if you catch it before you lose a valve. On my Z28 I really enjoyed driving it and took a chance nothing would happen but now the noise is too loud and I'm not willing to drive it until I fix the heads. Hopefully that's the only issue. Congrats on your buy, that's a great deal! Look forward to your build!
Smart move. Too many times you hear people say "oh GM fixed that issue in 2010 or 2011". NOPE!
Subbed after 3 videos. About 10 in now and really enjoying the work he does
Thanks man! Glad you enjoy the content
Just the fact that you said the price makes you head and shoulders above other youtubers!
My man Filled that coffee ALL THE WAY UP ! Love the videos brother !
Got one on the way home too!
Dang bro, we both have blacked out 17-19 F-250's and both love corvettes. If you we're in FL we'd be chillin all the time.
Finally some good corvette content.. i have a heads cam ls3 myself
I just found this channel and I'm starting the z06 project from the beginning +1 sub
Just found your channel and so far I like it, I'm more of a Subaru guy but love cars in general.
Black roof and black wheels are a must! If you were just over the line into NY from CT, you were within 30 of me in NJ. I can’t wait to see the inside and what went wrong!! And thanks for answering the work question from last video!
As a detailer, my head started to spin about mach 1 when I saw the bottle of Dawn, and then I remembered "Oh yeah, there is a ton of oil residue to strip off the paint, cool" lol. And please, PLEASE no black wheels!!!!! IF you are set on changing them and are getting them refinished, have them done hyper black, or what used to be known as black chrome.
I own a 2007 Z06 velocity yellow 💛 with Texas speed heads and it fixed my problem 😎😎😎👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾 my car is Awesome 👌
5a.m. Yeti full of coffee - breakfast of champions
i was always under the impression it was the guides. american heritage worked on these a lot back in the day with katech. they had success with refurbishing the stock ti intake and a hollow ferrera exhaust with bronze guides or those really high end F1 style guides but who knows 100% it's an aggressive valve angle with a very long valve coupled in a high rpm engine. other guys tried stainless valves all around but that requires a lot more spring pressure and lowers the redline all else equal. i think inspections every 10k would be the way i would go. pull a retainer or two with compressed air in the cylinder and see if you have any wiggle present. really doesn't take that long to do random inspections. doing 2 cylinders every 10k would work through all 16 guides every 40k
What up chris keep the video coming .the content is great I still love the CTS one of my favorite you have done so far.
Thanks!
You are a good person and a great mechanic
subbed to watch the build. just got a c5, my 1st vette.
LS7 valve issue is very real. It's like the guy who has a tiger as a pet and talks about how tame playful and friendly he is. The tiger is very friendly and playful, until he's not!
can't wait to see more videos about your vettes good luck
I got an ad right when the car stared rolling 😂
Very cool . My favorite "accessible" car. In spain the z06 cost above 50.000€
That fact that you used dish soap instead of 25$car wash dish soap
I have the utmost respect for you 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽👍👍👍
Awesome score! Fun project. Gonna be another badass ride. Not as good as the black one but......
Looking forward to the next chapter, thank you
I say yeah for black wheels! Gonna be a cool build! Great video bro 👍🏻
Keep up the great content, my favorite channel, you’re going to blow up soon for sure
That license plate: "HYBRID" 😂👍
Rad stuff brother. Yesterday bought my first 2010 black /black 34k always garaged and covered. Base but it’s as brand new. 💪🏼
Very nice!
Love the channel brother 🏎💨Went right by my exit in Worcester !! keep up the great work 🤙
Very clean car other than the motor but I kno you will make it rite can’t wait to see it finished love all ur builds miss the cts v
Happy I found your vids like a month ago..Dope shit man and it def looks better with the factory seats
Z06 with some of the cheapest Sparcos. Makes no sense. They are not uncomfortable as everyone thinks. I have Sparco Grid Q in my Hellcat and they are light-years better than the factory lounge chairs. Also get brackets that allow a tilt and you will love it. The Sprint model is not what you want for sure. Maybe in a V6 Mustang or a Civic. Want to go all out get you some Tillet Carbon seats. Very nice
When's that shine look much better than black. Especially on a Corvette.
Great video. I am looking forward to seeing the rebuild.
Keep up the good work.
Love all 3 // the Superduty, Zo6, and 🐶
ITS NOT REAL!!!!! - Just kidding. It's VERY real on ALL years. Love your channel man. keep up the good finds and the great videos!
I bought a C6 Z06 on 5/5/06. Fun assed car! after two months I cammed it, long tubed and intake. Still miss it today. If I could find find an unmodded one today I'd buy it
First time watcher and subscriber
Will watch with great interest. Been wrenching 50 yrs and hope to do one of these before I pass from this realm. Will want to see into the "window" when you get there! Looks so very sad in there
This one should be good! Just like everything you do, Chris 🤙🏼
Subscribed.......Looking forward to the fix & finish!!!!!
Just off that opening montage imma sub
Chris this is the first time I've ever seen you or your videos and I'm really liking it so far I think we'd get along fabulously. LOL seems like you're a no-nonsense tell it out how it is kind of guy I'd like to maybe rap with you someday I'm from Seattle Washington but I want to get a Z06 someday I don't know how soon but hopefully sooner than later anyways keep up the great work you have a new subscriber for sure I really like what you're doing more than likely will probably meet someday somewhere anyways take care.
I'm new to your channel. Enjoyed my video. The red C6 Z06 blown engine. I've never seen a piston utterly destroyed like that one.
Just discovered this channel. Great stuff. Im gonna hazard a guess and say some sort of oil starvation from sustained high g corners on track. Maybe a rod bearing let go, oil pump failed etc. Not uncommon in those conditions.
Subd. I dig this kind of channel. No bullshit, straight to the point.
Nice thing about corvettes unlike other sport cars they are simple to work on an parts are pretty cheap. My buddy just built a 700hp c6 the exhaust on that car is so addictive.
i almost shit myself when i saw it rolling.😂😂😂😂
You and me both brotha
Awesome video brotha.
Totally agree with you on the black wheels and roof. Exactly the car I want when it's done. looking forward to more videos.
Awesome find at a great price. new motor and hopefully you are all set! Should be an easy profit.
House and yard look amazing
Just found this channel, great content !
Loving this channel, my kind of car guy. I’m possibly interested in that harness bar and seats. Not too far away in mass. Let me know what you want
Thanks! Sold already, sorry!
The idiot part killed me😂😂
Definitely a good deal.The cheapest I have seen in a lot time.A little work and time you have a solid corvette 👊🏼
