Re: Lock washers or not on C4 Pan Bolts

Certain it is coming from the pan. when I remove bolts, it drips out the bolt holes, so it is getting past the gasket somehow and running around. Wipe it clean, and it comes back. The bolts all have washer heads, so maybe a slightly larger flat washer. I'd buy a new aluminum pan if they weren't $10...

Re: steering mods

Change to 65 parts. the length difference of the inner and outer tie rod asssy, as compared to the lower A arm is what causes bump steer. I went from 64 PS to 65 manual this way , kept the 16:1 box, just add more caster. http://www.cometeastcarclub.org/PDFs/St ... pgrade.pdf
